             C                                        G
I've got a glass half full and I'm making a toast to you
            C                                     G
I've got a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow too
F             Fm                          C
ooh, oh oh oh ooh… this is heaven on the lollipop stick
F             Fm                     G
ooh, oh oh oh ooh life is suddenly sweet

Chorus:
                           C        F
'Cause I'm living on the bright side
             Am                  G
And I wanna stay here, is that okay?
                            C     F
Can't believe that this is my life
            Am                    G
I was just looking but I started living on the
        C
bright side
        Am                Dm
Oh, wa, oh on the bright side
        G                 C
Oh, wa, oh on the bright side
        Am                Dm  G
Oh, wa, oh on the bright side

I got a real dark cloud with a silver lining now
But the grass is greener wherever I lay me down
Ooh, this is heaven on a lollipop stick
Ooh, is this how happiness feels?

Chorus:
When we're living on the bright side
And we wanna stay here, is that okay?
Can't believe that this is our life
We were just looking, but we started living on the bright side
Oh ah oh, on the bright side
Oh ah oh, on the bright side
Oh ah oh, on the bright side

Oh it's a hop, skip and a jump to a heart full of love
Oh, even if you're the type to be down in the dumps and gloomy
Take a new look and take it from me
There's room over here on the bright side
Oh ah oh, on the bright side
Oh ah oh, on the bright side
Oh ah oh, on the bright side

Chorus:
Cause I'm living on the bright side
And I wanna stay here, is that okay?
Can't believe that this is my life
I was just looking but I started living, living on the bright side
And I wanna stay here, is that okay?
Can't believe that this is my life
I was just looking but I started living on the bright side
Oh ah oh, on the bright side
Oh ah oh, on the bright side
Oh ah oh, on the bright side
