[Intro]
D A D A E F#m A

[Verse 1]
A D
We try so hard to make it all work out
E A
Sometimes sittin' on the top of the world, sometimes very deep in doubt
D
And if the only thing that tomorrow brings is the sunrise on the top of that

hill
E
I'm gonna sit right down and watch the world go 'round
A
And never think about another damned bill

[Verse 2]
A D
Some men live for money and some for art
E A
One guy thinks he's funny, the other guy thinks he's smart
A D
Everybody's gonna get lucky every now and then
E A
And the one who's feelin' so low down now is later on gonna win

[Chorus]
A D
Let the picture paint itself and it'll be alright
E A
You don't have to try so hard, you don't have to hold on so tight
D
Let the picture paint itself and it'll only get better
E
And when the day is thru and it's just me and you
A
Well we'll be feelin' so good we'll be knockin' on wood

[Break]
D A D A E F#m A

[Verse 3]
A D
If you think you've got troubles just look around
E A
And don't go out in public all turned upside down
D
If the only thing that you're livin' for is pain
E
Yeah there's a real good chance that you'll get nothin' more
A
Than a lot more of the same

[Chorus]
A D
Let the picture paint itself and it'll be alright
E A
You don't have to try so hard, you don't have to hold on so tight
D
Let the picture paint itself and it'll only get better
E
And when the day is thru and it's just me and you
A
Well we'll be feelin' so good we'll be knockin' on wood
