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!"
