    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'
E 
You are a busy bee
E                
You are a busy bee 


D    A      D            A
  Sunshine, sitting on a pavement crack
D            A
Everyone was staring back
    G             
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
Next what's fear
    G
And silence in
Bm                  F#m
Wait just all we'll then
Bm          G
Upside-down everything
Bm                E
Turning done you're when


    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'
E 
You are a busy bee
E                
You are a busy bee 

D       A     D                 A
   Back then, fighting with the permanent
D                   A
Pushing through the sediment
     G                 D
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

Bm
Among the rain
    G
And lights I saw
    Bm            F#m
The figure "5" in gold
Bm       G
On a red fire truck 
Bm                E
That's what I was told


    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    
   And the sound keeps ringin', ringin'
E
