Whoa oh, whoa oh. 
Whoa oh, whoa oh. 
Whoa oh, whoa oh. 
Whoa oh, oh. 
Chords used: Am-F-C-G same through the whole song. Not sure 
about the second bridge at the end.
Verse 1:
AmYou see it all in my smile. 
FYou hear it all in my laugh.
CThe way I walk, you hear me talk.
GAnd know I'm no longer sad. 
AmI got more reason to smile Fmore now than I've ever had. 
CI open up my eyes and realize Gthat nothing's quite that bad. 
Bridge:
I've got a different approach to dealing with emotion. 
Keeping control of my boat, while drifting on this ocean. 
Keeping my head to the sky, keeping tears out of my eyes. 
Unless happiness be the reason that I decide to cry. 
And life's too short to dwell on all that's wrong. 
Stand up now, stand up now and I promise not before long. 
Chorus:
You'll be feeling better today. 
Much better today, much better today. 
So much better. 
You're feeling better today. 
Much better today, much better today. 
Much better today. 
You're feeling better today. 
Much better today, much better today. 
So much better. 
You're feeling better today. 
Much better today, much better today. 
You'll be so much better. 
Verse 2:
I know about down and out. 
I know about when it gets tough. 
Losing my fight, can't see the light. 
And you just wanna give up. 
I know about being depressed. 
By needing someone to love. 
I also know by standing up and saying enough is enough. 
Bridge:
Oh, I've got a different approach to dealing with emotion. 
Keeping control of my boat, while drifting on this ocean. 
Keeping my head to the sky, keeping tears out of my eyes. 
Unless happiness be the reason I decide to cry. 
And life's too short to dwell on all that's wrong. 
Stand up now, stand up now and I promise not before long. 
Chorus:
You'll be feeling better today. 
Much better today, much better today.

You're feeling better today. 
Much better today, much better today. 
So much better. 
You're feeling better today. 
Much better today, much better today. 
You'll be so much better. 
Bridge 2:
(Ohh whoa. Oh whoa, whoa) 
(Oooh) 
I feel like if I try, I could fly away right now. 
All because I've finally found my smile. 
(x2) 
And you'll be feeling better today. 
Much better today, much better today. 
So much better. 
You're feeling better today. 
Much better today, much better today. 
Much better today. 
You're feeling better today.
