C
Close your tired eyes relax and then
Dm                 F
Count from one to ten and open them.
Am                                              Dm
All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down,
               F
But not this time.

Way up in the air you’re finally free,
and you can stay up there right next to me.
All this gravity will try to pull you down,
But not this time.

Chorus:
          C
When the sun goes down and the lights burn out,
           F
Then it’s time for you to shine
                  Am
Brighter than a shooting star,
                     F
So shine no matter where you are.
          C
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
            F
Cause it’s time for you to shine
                  Am
Brighter than a shooting star,
                     F
So shine no matter where you are
   C
Tonight.
                  F
(whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
                 Am
Brighter than a shooting star,
                  F
Shine no matter where you are
   C
Tonight.

Gaze into my eyes when the fire starts
And fan the flame so hot it melts our hearts
Oh, the pouring rain, we'll try to put it out,
but not this time

Let your colors burn and brightly burst
Into a million sparks that all disperse
And illuminate a world that'll try
to bring you down, but not this time

Chorus

A thousand heartbeats beat in time.
It makes this dark planet come alive.
So when the lights flicker out tonight,
You’ve gotta shine.
