Standard Tuning - No capo
FEvery word's a new regret if you Amsay it right, right
GEvery wound can be forgotten in the Cright light
FOh nostalgia, I don't Amneed you anymore
GCause the salad days are over and the Cmeat is at my door
Cause they Fmight try to tell you how you can live your Amlife
But don't, don't forget it's your Gright, to do whatever you Clike, you like
                N.C.
Cause you could be your own spotlight, 
Fe-o, e-o
You could Gbe your own Amspotlight, 
Fe-o, e-o
You could Gbe your own Amspotlight, 
Fyou could be the star, you can Gshine so Ambright, 
Fe-o, e-o,
You Gcould be your own, causAme they're gonna tFell you all the rules to Gbreak
To Amtake Faway that light, Gsomebody, Amsomebody nowF  
You could Gbe your own Amspotlight, 
Fe-o, e-o
You could Gbe your own Amspotlight.
(same chords as first verse)
FDepression is a little bit like Amhappy hour, right
It's Galways gotta be happening somewhere on Cany given night
FOh nostalgia I don't Amneed you anymore
I just Ghope my perfect stranger that my Ckids look more like yours
Cause they Fmight try to tell you how you can live your Amlife
But don't, don't forget it's your Gright, to do whatever you Clike, you like
                N.C.
Cause you could be your own spotlight,
