Bb
Du-na-na-na, ah-na-na-na-na, ah, da
Eb
Du-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, da, da
Gm                               Eb
Du-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na, na


[Verse 1]
        Bb                     Eb
Lately, it's been a little bit wild
       Gm                         Eb
I wake up wearing this disgusting smile
                   Bb                Eb
It’s like I hear a parade outside my window
      Gm                                      Eb
Every day down my street when it used to be a shit show
Bb
Du-na-na-na, ah-na-na-na-na, ah, da
Eb
Du-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na


[Pre-Chorus]
              Bb
Where all the dark clouds go,
                  Eb
Silver linings of pure gold.
    Gm                         Eb
Overnight this angel found her halo.


[Chorus]
Bb
I don't really feel bad news anymore
F                                    Gm    Eb
Walking through walls like an open door, woah
    Bb
I'm shutting down the negativity
F                         Gm   Eb
I’ll find the optimist in me, ooh


[Post-Chorus]
    Bb            F
And so good ain't so bad
    Gm                     Eb
I'm giving in to love, I'm sick of being sad
Bb   F            Gm
Ooh, ooh, I could be happy
        Eb               Bb
I could be happy all the time

Du-na-na-na, ah-na-na-na-na...


[Verse 2]
                   Bb              Eb
I wanna drive down main with a megaphone
           Gm                                          Eb
Shouting, "Love's gonna save the day" of the top of my lungs


[Pre-Chorus]
              Bb
Where all the dark clouds go,
                  Eb
Silver linings of pure gold.
    Gm                         Eb
Overnight this angel found her halo.


[Chorus]
Bb
I don't really feel bad news anymore
F                                    Gm    Eb
Walking through walls like an open door, woah
    Bb
I'm shutting down the negativity
F                         Gm   Eb
I’ll find the optimist in me, ooh


[Post-Chorus]
    Bb            F
And so good ain't so bad
    Gm                     Eb
I'm giving in to love, I'm sick of being sad
Bb   F            Gm
Ooh, ooh, I could be happy
        Eb               Bb
I could be happy all the time


[Bridge]
             Bb
Where all the dark clouds go,
                  Eb
Silver linings of pure gold.
    Gm                         Eb
Overnight this angel found her halo.


[Chorus]
Bb
I don't really feel bad news anymore
F                                    Gm    Eb
Walking through walls like an open door, woah
    Bb
I'm shutting down the negativity
F                         Gm   Eb
I’ll find the optimist in me, ooh


[Post-Chorus]
    Bb            F
And so good ain't so bad
    Gm                     Eb
I'm giving in to love, I'm sick of being sad
Bb   F            Gm
Ooh, ooh, I could be happy
        Eb               Bb
I could be happy all the time
