F#maj7                            G#
Woke up on the wrong side of rock bottom
F#maj7
You're all out of pennies and the well
              G#
It done run dry
F#maj7
You'd light 'em up and smoke 'em if you had 'em
                   G#
But you just ain't got 'em
F#maj7
Yeah ain't we always looking
            G#
For a bluer sky?

Chorus:
C#                                   A#m
If you're ever gonna find a silver lining
                       Fm
It's gotta be a cloudy day
                       F#maj7
It's gotta be a cloudy day
C#                                     A#m
If you wanna fill your bottle up with lightning
                                  Fm
You're gonna have to stand in the rain
                                  F#maj7
You're gonna have to stand in the rain

        C#
Hoo hoo hoooo

Hoo hoo hoooo

Hoo hoo hoooo
F#maj7
Hoo

Lemonade keeps turnin' into lemons
And you wear your heart on a ripped,
unraveled sleeve
Been run through the wringer
and pushed plum to your limit
You say you're just unlucky,
but luck ain't what you need

Chorus:
'Cause if you're ever gonna find a four-leaf clover
You gotta get a little dirt on your hands
You gotta get a little dirt on your hands
And if you wanna find a head that fits your shoulder
You're gonna have to go to the dance
You're gonna have to go to the dance


C#
If you wanna find the honey
    A#m
You can't be scared of the bees
    Fm
And if you wanna see the forest
            F#maj7                  G#
You're gonna have to look past trees

Chorus:
If you're ever gonna find a silver lining
It's gotta be a cloudy day
Yeah, it's gotta be a cloudy day
Ooh, and if you wanna fill your
bottle up with lightning
You're gonna have to stand in the rain
You're gonna have to stand in the rain

Hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Ooh, yeah
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Ooh, ooh, ooh
