E B E
I met a mystery man on a magic morning
B E B E
Things were exciting that used to be boring
B A B C#m
Things that were frightening now seemed inviting
B E B C#m G#m A B
And what used to be obscene now seemed the right thing
E B E
I had a crazy idea at just around 6:30
B E B E
Things were so clear that had been murky
B A B C#m
Things were so clean that had been dirty
B E B C#m G#m A B
And what used to be a dream now seemed a certainty
[Chorus]
C#m B E
I was crying as I tried to get high
C#m B E
I've been dying all the time to get by
C#m B E
And along came a guy who said "Looking on the bright side's alright
A B E
It's alright
A B E
It's alright"
[Verse]
E B E
I got the strangest sensation when he looked in my direction
B E B E
And my mind started racing when he offered me protection
B A
And then I knew that my patience was rewarded
B C#m
Hadn't known I had been waiting for it
B E B C#m G#m A B
And what used to be a waste became important
[Chorus]
C#m B E
I was afraid of what the doctor might say
C#m B E
That I'd be made to learn to pray the right way
C#m B E
But then I saw a brave face say "Being afraid's okay
A B E
It's okay"
[Bridge]
A B E A
And it was so great
B C#m B E
to come under his glittering gaze
C#m B E
He wipes the winter away
C#m
See the brave face make all the races wanna say
B E A
"Looking on the bright side's alright
B E A
Looking on the bright side's alright
B E A
Looking on the bright side's alright
B E A
Looking on the bright side's alright
[Outro]
B E A
It's alright It's alright
B E A
It's alright It's alright
B E A
It's alright It's alright
B E A
It's alright It's alright
B E A
It's alright It's alright
B E A
It's alright It's alright
B E A
It's alright It's alright
B E A
Alright!"
