Shine by Newsboys
 Verse 1:
F                                                         G/E
Dull as dirt you can’t assert the kind of light that might persuade a
           Am/G                             Am
Strict dictator to retire fire the army teach the poor origami
           F                                                            G
The truth is in the proof is when you hear your heart start askin’
                       C
What’s my motivation
        F                                 
And try as you may there isn’t a way to
        G/E                                                         Am/G
Explain the kind of change that would make an eskimo renounce fur that
                        Am
Would make a vegetarian barbecue hamster
  F                                           G
‘Less you can trace this about-face to a certain sign

Chorus:
   C                                                     F
Shine make ‘em wonder what you’ve got
                                               C/Am                                  F
Make ‘em wish that they were not on the outside lookin’ bored
   C                                       F
Shine let it shine before all men
                                          C/Am                               F
Let ‘em see good works and then let ‘em glorify the Lord

Verse 2:
F                                                                  G/E
Out of the shaker and onto the plate it isn’t karma it sure ain’t fate
                                   Am/G                             
That would make a deadhead sell his van that would make a
     Am
Schizophrenic turn in His crayons
F                                                   G
Oprah freaks and science seeks a rational that shall
                                   C
Excuse this strange behavior
                F 
When you let it shine you will inspire the
            G/E                                                    Am/G
Kind of entire turn around the would make a bouncer take ballet
             Am
(Even bouncers who aren’t.. happy)
        F
But out of the glare with nowhere to turn
                           G
You ain’t gonna learn it on what’s my line

Repeat Chorus
Interlude
(I’m gonna let it shine x4)
Shine,   Shine,
