Intro: Am---F---
Verse 1:
  AmWhen I've gone too far When I've had enough
When I'm losin' ground Feelin' out of touch
  FI don't run and hide I just look inside
For a simple piece of mind
  AmLike a neighborhood On a city street
I know the path It knows my feet
And Fwhen I feel afraid Feel like checkin' out
You stand up and take a bow
Refrain 1:
  FYou shine when others need you
  AmYou speak and CI believe you
  FI know the light, it guides you
I'll Amjoin the line that Gwalks behind you
Chorus 1:
You Fshine, you shine
Like a Amwindow to your heart I see
CAll the possibilities
You Fshine, you shine
And Ameveryday's another opporCtunity
To shine
Verse 2:
  AmThe way you see the world The way it sees you back
You're the photographer You take the photograph
  FIf you don't like the way The way it looks at you
You've got all the power to choose
  AmTurn right, turn left to the other way
Make it light, make it dark, make it go away
  FI love the way you write the script to your own life
You're the star, you're on tonight
Refrain 2:
  FAnd when I feel unnoticed
  AmJust two steps Cback from hopeless
  FYou turn my world around with a Amsingle smile
That's who you are, that's Gwho you are

You Fshine, you shine
Like a Amwindow to your heart I see

You Fshine, you shine
