Verse 1: C Never seen her glowing C All that bright she's throwing C like some aurora, From her head, it's growing Gm Reaching to the ground and all around like a Navajo blanket C Never heard her singing C Now she's gently ringing C like copper wind chimes, what on earth is bringing Gm up this stream? The cat who got the cream is licking her lips
And smiling like her Cheshire cousin Pre-Chorus: Bb F Bb She claims she's found a way to make her own light F C All you do is smile, you banish the night Chorus: C G F She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away, away C G F She says she's burning up all her guilts and shames, away, away C G F She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away, away C Bm She says she's burn-burn-burn-burn-burning up-up-up-up-up Bm burn-burn-burn-burn-burning up-up-up-up-up Verse 2: C Now you see I'm smiling C Back to juveniling C I learnt her lesson, in like flint and styling Gm All the world is neatly curled, Around my littlest finger C I can't stop this grinning C So assume I'm winning C Threw pessimism in the air, it's spinning Gm Crashing to the floor and nevermore will it lure me away With sweets and shiny things just like a magpie Pre-Chorus: Bb F Bb She claims she's found a way to make her own light F C All you do is smile, you banish the night Chorus: C G F She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away, away C G F She says she's burning up all her guilts and shames, away, away C G F She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away, away C Bm She says she's burn-burn-burn-burn-burning up-up-up-up-up Bm burn-burn-burn-burn-burning up-up-up-up-up Bridge: C Now every bird and bee, just fuel the fire for me Bb Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Bb Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes C Now every closing door just fan the flames some more Bb Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Bb Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah Pre-Chorus: Bb F Bb She claims she's found a way to make her own light F C All you do is smile, you banish the night Chorus: C G F She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away, away C G F She says she's burning up all her guilts and shames, away, away C G F She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away, away C Bm She says she's burn-burn-burn-burn-burning up-up-up-up-up Bm burn-burn-burn-burn-burning up-up-up-up-up Outro: C Now I'm thinking okay, I'm turning night into day
