[Intro/Chorus]
 
                    G                           Cadd9
Well sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,
 
          G                                 D
And the clouds paint the sky in a way that takes away my summertime,
 
                 G                                  Cadd9
And somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I struggle to get by,
 
              G            D                   C     D   G     C D G
If there’s a light in everybody send out your ray of sunshine.
 
[Verse 1]
 
         G
I wanna walk the same roads as everybody else through 
 
     Am                       B/C
the trees and past the gates.
 
             C
I’m getting high on heavenly breezes 
 
                C       D         G
and making new friends along the way.
 
G                                     Am                  B/C
I won’t ask much of nobody, I’m just here to sing-a-long,
 
     C
And make my mistakes look gracious 
 
                C       D       G
and learn some lessons from my wrongs.
 
[Chorus]
 
                   G                           Cadd9
But sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,
 
            G                               D
While the clouds paint the sky all gray it takes away the summertime,
 
             G                                   Cadd9
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you, while I struggle to get by,
 
              G            D                   C      D  G     C D G
If there’s a light in everybody send out your ray of sunshine.
 
[Bridge]
 
        Em                                      G
Ohh if this little light of mine combined with yours today.
 
                         C                           G              D
How many watts could we luminate? How many villages could we save?
 
   Em                                    G
If my umbrella is tired of the weather wearing me down,
 
      C               Cm
Well look at me now.
 
[Break]
 
G   C    B/C  Am    C  D  G
 
[Verse 2]
 
                 G
Well you should look as good as your outlook 
 
           Am                       B/C
would you mind if I took some time,
 
    C
To soak up your light your beautiful light 
 
          C   D      G
you got a paradise inside.
 
       G
I get hungry for love and thirsty for life,
 
     Am                        B/C
but much too full on the pain,
 
              C
Cause when I look to the sky to help me 
 
          C     D          G
it most always looks like rain.
 
[Chorus]
 
               G                           Cadd9
Sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,
 
            G                                 D
While the clouds paint the sky in a way that takes away my summertime.
 
             G                                  Cadd9
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I kindly stand by,
 
          G                 D                       C     D   G
A little light never hurt nobody so send down your ray of sunshine.
 
[Chorus/Break]
 
Hum over the chorus chords here.
 
[Verse 3]
 
                   G                     Am               B/C
You’re undeniably warm, cerulean, your perfect in design,
            C            D
I hope you hang around…
 
        G          Cadd9
So the sun it can shine on me,
 
          G              D
And the clouds they can roll away.
 
         G                  Cadd9
And the sky can become our possibility,
 
             G            D                    C     D   G
If theres a light in everybody send down your ray of sunshine.
