RED WANTING BLUE - STAY ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
Start oCver, I can't make sense of Gthis
You mumbFle your words when you don't wanna hurt feelingsG  
CCalm down, cage bird, get to the hearGt of it
Life's not what you thouFght it'd be, tell me when it ever really Gis
Oh, whatF, are we strangGers on the same side?F  
When best friends and Glovers collideF  
I'm never Gsaying never again
But we had it coCmingEm  
'cause we don't like gray Fclouds aroundEm  
They only ever bDmring us downEm  
The deeper the doubFt, the harder it rainGs
But we had it coCmingEm  
'Cause we don't want our Fcolors to fadeEm  
It's lights out for uDms all somedayEm  
But stay on the briFght side of things, okayG  
CWe shared the same set of eyes for so longG  
I can't even see Fmyself without you looking back through Gme
CYou're the best thing that's ever haGppened to me
However, the briFghter the feather, the harder it's to Gset free
Oh, are, Fare we strangers Gon the same side?F  
When best friendGs and lovers dividFe
You're nGever saying never again
But we had it coCmingEm  
'cause we don't like gray Fclouds aroundEm  
They only ever bDmring us downEm  
The deeper the doubFt, the harder it rainGs
But we had it coCmingEm  
'Cause we don't want our Fcolors to fadeEm  
It's lights out for uDms all somedayEm  
But stay on the briFght side of things, (pause)   okayG  
C G F G
Oh, aFre, are we strangeGrs on the same side?F  
When best friends and Glovers collideF  
We're neveGr saying never again
But we had it coCmingEm
