       A5           D5                C5 
Now if all my golden moments could be rolled into one 
           D5                   A5      C5 
they would shine just like the sun on a summer day 
D5   G5     E5    A5 A#5    B5              C5 
And after it was over    we could have it back again 
D5    G5      E5    A5 A#5     B5               D5 E5      D5 E5 
with credit to the editor        for striking out the rain, very clean 
    G5      E5    A5 A#5          B5              C5 
And all it really needed         was the proper point of view 
C5                     A5   C5                    C5 
No one's gonna bring me down. No one's gonna stop me now 
       A5           D5             C5 
Now I gathered up my sorrows and I sold them all for gold 
      D5               A5        C5                  D5 
and I gathered up the gold and I threw it all away 
D5  G5        E5   A5 A#5   B5              C5 D5 
It all went for a good time and a song, come on 
D5    G5      E5    A5 A#5     B5             D5 E5      D5 E5 
But laughter was like music;  it did float my soul along for a while 
    G5      E5    A5 A#5          B5              C5 
And all it really needed was the proper point of view 
C5                     A5   C5                    C5 
No one's gonna reach me here. No one's gonna know I'm gone 
         A5             D5           C5 
You may think I might be crazy and I guess you might be right 
      D5              A5           C5 
but I know the way I feel today is out of sight 
D5 G5      E5        A5 A#5    B5              C5 D5 
I do not trust your senses        to remember your name 
    G5      E5     A5 A#5            B5              D5 E5  D5 E5 
Without corrective lenses        things are never twice the same 
    G5      E5    A5 A#5          B5              C5 
And all it really needed was the proper point of view 
C5                     A5   C5                    A5 
No one's gonna bring me down. No one's gonna stop me now. 
C5                     A5   C5                    A5 
No one's gonna reach me here. No one's gonna know I'm gone.
