Am         F         C         C

[Verse 1]
Am                  F             C
  I'm gonna let the sunshine in today,
Am                        F            C
  I'm trying to make this darkness go away.
Am                       F          C
  I'll paint with colors   and I'll sing until my bones give out,
Am                  F             C
  I'm gonna let the sunshine in today.

[Pre-Chorus]
           Dm               G              Am
And I will leave my windows open so that I can hear
                       Dm           G                   Am*
the sound of people talking and the wind blowing in the trees.

[Chorus]
               F                        C             G
Oh, oh, I will open up my eyes so I can see the light,
                 F                               C        G
oh, oh, and I'll try to spread my wings so I can fly.
                F
Oh, oh, and the darkness starts to fade,
           C                      G
feels like things are gonna go my way,
Dm                                G***
  I'm gonna let the sunshine in today.

[Verse 2]
Am                  F                   C
  I'm gonna let the past be filled with smoke (ooh-oh, ooh-ooh),
Am                  F                 C
  and I will try to fix what has been broken.
              Am              F
And take this   weight off my shoulders 'cause I know
C                      G
yesterday ain't coming back (mmm-mmm),
Dm                  F                C         C
  I'm gonna let the past stay in the coal.

[Pre-Chorus]
       Dm            G               Am
I will listen to the ocean, let it's onside words,
    C               F              G                   Am*
get spoken and I'll let my mind be carried by the waves.

[Chorus]
               F                        C             G
Oh, oh, I will open up my eyes so I can see the light,
                 F                               C        G
oh, oh, and I'll try to spread my wings so I can fly.
                F
Oh, oh, and the darkness starts to fade,
           C                      G
feels like things are gonna go my way,
Dm                                G
  I'm gonna let the sunshine in today.

[End-Chorus]
               F                        C             G
Oh, oh, I will open up my eyes so I can see the light,
                 F                               C          G
oh, oh, and I'll try to spread my wings so I can fly.
                F
Oh, oh, and the darkness starts to fade,
           C                      G
feels like things are gonna go my way,
Dm                                G*
  I'm gonna let the sunshine in today.
