Shine by Newsboys Verse 1: G/E Dull as dirt you can’t assert the kind of light that might persuade a Am Strict dictator to retire fire the army teach the poor origami G The truth is in the proof is when you hear your heart start askin’ C What’s my motivation F And try as you may there isn’t a way to Am/G Explain the kind of change that would make an eskimo renounce fur that Am Would make a vegetarian barbecue hamster G ‘Less you can trace this about-face to a certain sign
Chorus: F Shine make ‘em wonder what you’ve got F Make ‘em wish that they were not on the outside lookin’ bored F Shine let it shine before all men F Let ‘em see good works and then let ‘em glorify the Lord Verse 2: G/E Out of the shaker and onto the plate it isn’t karma it sure ain’t fate Am/G That would make a deadhead sell his van that would make a Am Schizophrenic turn in His crayons G Oprah freaks and science seeks a rational that shall C Excuse this strange behavior F When you let it shine you will inspire the Am/G Kind of entire turn around the would make a bouncer take ballet Am (Even bouncers who aren’t.. happy) F But out of the glare with nowhere to turn G You ain’t gonna learn it on what’s my line Repeat Chorus Interlude (I’m gonna let it shine x4) Shine, Shine, Repeat Chorus
