(chorus)
       G
Well, sometimes the sun shines on
               Cadd9
Other people's houses and not mine
              G
Some days the clouds paint the sky all gray
       D
And it takes away my summertime
            G
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you
        Cadd9
While i struggle to get mine
             G              D
If there's a light in everybody
              C      D    G       C  D  G
Send out your ray of sunshine

(verse)
        G
I wanna walk the same roads as everybody else
            Am
Through the trees and past the gates
        C
Getting high on heavenly breezes
           C       D         G
Making new friends along the way
  G
I won't ask much of nobody
         Am
I'm just here to sing along

    CAnd make my mistakes look gracious
               C       D       G
And learn some lessons from my wrongs

(chorus)
But sometimes the sun shines on
Other people's houses and not mine
Some days the clouds paint the sky all gray
And it takes away my summertime

Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you
While i struggle to get mine
A little light never hurt nobody
Send out your ray of sunshine

(bridge)
       Em
Oh, if this little light of mine
              G
Combined with yours today
                        C
How many watts could we luminate?
                  G              D
How many villages could we save?
Em
My umbrella's tired of the weather
G
Wearing me down
     C              Cm
Well look at me now

(interlude) G  Cadd9  Am  C  D  G

(verse)
Well, you should look as good as your outlook
Would you mind if i took some time?
To soak up your light, your beautiful light
You've got a paradise inside

I get hungry for love and thirsty for life
And much to full on the pain
When i look to the sky to help me
And sometimes it looks like rain

(chorus)
As the sun shines on
Other people's houses and not mine
And the sky paints the clouds in a way
That it takes away the summertime

Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you
While i kindly stand by
If there's a light in everybody
Send out your ray of sunshine

(outro)
                  G
You're undeniably warm, you're cerulean
       Am                 C
You're perfect in design
Won't 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
If there's a light in everybody
              C      D    G
Send out your ray of sunshine
