to be something wrong with them, so I m going to submit my own, I guess.

On the Brightside by Nevershoutnever
This is an easy little song with only two phrases even used, so if you re looking
for something really easy and nice to pick up, here you go. Finger-picking here is
simple; just alternate between thumb for bass and fingers for the rest of the
chord. It s straight eighth notes, so you can t go wrong. Most chord changes are
on 1 or 3 of a bar so it s very straightforward.
[EDIT] The chords showed when you hover over their names are all 1 fret up because
of the displayed tuning, so just play how I have them below if you want to be in
tune with the song. I just thought that might cause mild confusion.
Or don t. I mean, whatever you wanna do, you know? Heh.

[Verse 1]
I met a man of two feet tall, this man was quite ambitious
In a world that is so vicious to us all
I said hi, as he replied
He said listen to these words that I have lived by my whole life
[Chorus]
You re only as tall, as your heart will let you be
And you re only as small, as the world will make you seem
When the going gets rough, and you feel like you may fall
Just look on the bright side, you re roughly six feet tall
Am (for 1 & 1/2 measures, then cut out)
[Verse 2]
I met a man of twelve feet tall, he towered like a giant
In a world that was defiant of his height
I said hi, as he replied
He said listen to these words that I have dreaded my whole life
[Chorus]
You re only as tall, as your heart will let you be
And you re only as small, as the world will make you seem
When the going gets rough, and you feel like you may fall
Just look on the bright side, you re roughly six feet tall
(1 & 1/2 bars and cut out)
[Verse 3]
I am a man of six feet tall, just looking for some answers
In a world that answers none of them at all
I ll say hi, but not reply
To the letters that you write because I ve found some peace of mind
[Chorus]
Cause I m only as tall, as my heart will let me be
And I m only as small, as the world will make me seem
And when the going gets rough, and I feel like I may fall
I ll look on the bright side, I m roughly six feet tall
