(intro/chorus)
C#F#add9
Well sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,
C#G#
And the clouds paint the sky in a way that takes away my summertime,
C#F#add9
And somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I struggle to get by,
C#G#F#G#C#F#G#C#
If there's a light in everybody send out your ray of sunshine.
(verse 1)
C#
I wanna walk the same roads as everybody else through
D#mF/F#
the trees and past the gates.
F#
I'm getting high on heavenly breezes
F#G#C#
and making new friends along the way.
C#D#mF/F#
I won't ask much of nobody, I'm just here to sing-a-long,
F#
And make my mistakes look gracious
F#G#C#
and learn some lessons from my wrongs.
(chorus)
C#F#add9
But sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,
C#G#
While the clouds paint the sky all gray it takes away the summertime,
C#F#add9
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you, while I struggle to get by,
C#G#F#G#C#F#G#C#
If there's a light in everybody send out your ray of sunshine.
(bridge)
A#mC#
Ohh if this little light of mine combined with yours today.
F#C#G#
How many watts could we luminate? How many villages could we save?
A#mC#
If my umbrella is tired of the weather wearing me down,
F#F#m
Well look at me now.
(break) C#F#F/F#D#mF#G#C#
(verse 2)
C#
Well you should look as good as your outlook
D#mF/F#
would you mind if I took some time,
F#
To soak up your light your beautiful light
F#G#C#
you got a paradise inside.
C#
I get hungry for love and thirsty for life,
D#mF/F#
but much too full on the pain,
F#
Cause when I look to the sky to help me
F#G#C#
it most always looks like rain.
(chorus)
C#F#add9
Sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,
C#G#
While the clouds paint the sky in a way that takes away my summertime.
C#F#add9
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I kindly stand by,
C#G#F#G#C#
D# little light never hurt nobody so send down your ray of sunshine.
(chorus/break)
Hum over the chorus chords here.
(verse 3)
C#D#mF/F#
You're undeniably warm, cerulean, your perfect in design,
F#G#
I hope you hang around…
C#F#add9
So the sun it can shine on me,
C#G#
And the clouds they can roll away.
C#F#add9
And the sky can become our possibility,
C#G#F#G#C#
If theres a light in everybody send down your ray of sunshine.
