Slick little mandolin riff at the beggining:
e|---------------------------------|
a|-------2-3-5-2--2>7--5--3-2-0----|
d|----5--------------------------5-|
g|---------------------------------|
I want to be the Gsmile I want to see the cChange           
I want to be your Gfreind from the start and once it sDtarts it never ends
I want to be your Gpal I want to be around
I want to be your fCreind when you are down
I want to Gbe the sunshine Don your smiling Gface
I want to be the mGoon, no, I want to be oCcean
where all we do is Gfloat under the sun on the rolling Dsea
Oh, I want to be the Gsunshine, no, I want to be the mCoonshine
I want to be the nGight time lullaDby when you're so aGfraid
And I think I found a Cway to put a smile on your loney fGace
I think I found a wCay,  a way to Gbreak down all the wDalls
I think I found a Cway to Dsay
I think I found a Cway to say Dhello 
I think I found a Cway     D     Dwithout saying anything at allG
