INTRO: D A D A E F#m A

A D

We try so hard to make it all work out

E A

Sometimes sittin' on the top of the world, sometimes very deep in doubt

D

And if the only thing that tomorrow brings is the sunrise on the top of that hill

E

I'm gonna sit right down and watch the world go 'round

A

And never think about another damned bill

A D

Some men live for money and some for art

E A

One guy thinks he's funny, the other guy thinks he's smart

A D

Everybody's gonna get lucky every now and then

E A

And the one who's feelin' so low down now is later on gonna win

CHORUS:

A D

Let the picture paint itself and it'll be alright

E A

You don't have to try so hard, you don't have to hold on so tight

D

Let the picture paint itself and it'll only get better

E

And when the day is thru and it's just me and you

A

Well we'll be feelin' so good we'll be knockin' on wood

INTRO

A D

If you think you've got troubles just look around

E A

And don't go out in public all turned upside down

D

If the only thing that you're livin' for is pain

E

Yeah there's a real good chance that you'll get nothin' more

A

Than a lot more of the same

CHORUS

INTRO out
