[Verse 1]
   A                               D
We try so hard to make it all work out
E                                          A
Sometimes sittin' on the top of the world, sometimes very deep in doubt
                                                  D
And if the only thing that tomorrow brings is the sunrise on the top of that hill
          E
I'm gonna sit right down and watch the world go 'round
          A
And never think about another damned bill

[Verse 2]
A                                    D
Some men live for money and some for art
E                              A
One guy thinks he's funny, the other guy thinks he's smart
A                                         D
Everybody's gonna get lucky every now and then
        E                                    A
And the one who's feelin' so low down now is later on gonna win

[Chorus]
        A                                  D
Let the picture paint itself and it'll be alright
E                                        A
You don't have to try so hard, you don't have to hold on so tight
                                                D
Let the picture paint itself and it'll only get better
             E
And when the day is thru and it's just me and you
              A
Well we'll be feelin' so good we'll be knockin' on wood

[Verse 3]
A                                          D
If you think you've got troubles just look around
    E                                  A
And don't go out in public all turned upside down
                                            D
If the only thing that you're livin' for is pain
               E
Yeah there's a real good chance that you'll get nothin' more
       A
Than a lot more of the same

[Chorus]
        A                                  D
Let the picture paint itself and it'll be alright
E                                        A
You don't have to try so hard, you don't have to hold on so tight
                                                D
Let the picture paint itself and it'll only get better
             E
And when the day is thru and it's just me and you
              A
Well we'll be feelin' so good we'll be knockin' on wood
