Verse:
D A   D      A
Sunshine, sitting on a pavement crack
D      A
Everyone was staring back

But you didn't mind
D A   D        A
Sunshine, futile were our defenses
D         A
Backwards ran your sentences
 G
Until reeled the mind

Bm          G
Next what's fear and silence in

Upside-down everything

Turning done you're when

The bright side is blinding our eyes
A          D
And the sound keeps ringin', ringin'
  A       D
The bright side is just a white lie
A          D
That the crowd keeps singin', singin'
E
You are a busy bee. You are a busy bee!


Verse:
D  A   D         A
Back then, fighting with the permanent
D          A
Pushing through the sediment
   G
Till we lost the trail
D  A   D          A
Back then, those days felt like house arrest
D       A
Half-awake and self-possessed
  G
We thought we'd prevail


Pre-Chorus:
 Bm        G
Among the rain and lights I saw
  Bm      F#m
The figure "5" in gold
Bm    G
On a red firetruck
Bm        E
That's what I was told


Chorus:
  A       D
The bright side is blinding our eyes
A          D
And the sound keeps ringin', ringin'
  A       D
The bright side is just a white lie
A          D
That the crowd keeps singin', singin'

  A       D
The bright side is blinding our eyes
A          D        E  A
And the sound keeps ringin', ringin
