C          G                Am                C 
Before our eyes there are a million things we haven't tried 
        F               Dm 
They'll get here in the morning 
        Am              G 
They're just around the corner 
 
 
C         G                   Am               C 
It can be hard when we're all blanketed by the cold and dark 
      F               Dm 
We're waiting for the sun 
      Am                  G 
We've got a smile to warm us 
 
 
PRE-CHORUS: 
      Am      C 
Cause lately, everything's so heavy 
F               Em                  Am             F 
I just want the trick that makes me laugh just for fun 
              Dm                    G 
Because we're not too old and we're not too young 

C Em We've got rainbows in our eyes Am C F Barefoot down the street we dodge the broken glass Dm Just to get a laugh F G We fly by in a blink of their eye
So I made myself a stern face with a cast of clay I didn't have the knack You made a joke and it just cracked And I watched as all the serious bits flew across the floor Now I'm a different fella I paint the pieces pretty colours PRE-CHORUS: Lately everyone's so honest I just want the white lie as it shines in the coal Because we're not too young and we're not too old CHORUS: We've got rainbows in our eyes Barefoot down the street we dodge the broken glass Just to get a laugh We fly by in a blink of their eye We've got sunshine in our pockets Throw it around the room to cheer the cold dark night With the speed of light We fly by in a blink of their eye Am Em F G And I sang with my head in the dark clouds Am Em F But now I sing about the small good things F#dim Darling here comes Spring G I'll race you there
