Standard (EADGBE)

 Now if all my golden moments could be rolled into one

 they would shine just like the sun on a summer day

And after it was over we could have it back again

with credit to the editor for striking out the rain, very clean

 And all it really needed was the proper point of view

No one's gonna bring me down. No one's gonna stop me now

 Now I gathered up my sorrows and I sold them all for gold

 and I gathered up the gold and I threw it all away

It all went for a good time and a song, come on

But laughter was like music; it did float my soul along for a while

 And all it really needed was the proper point of view

No one's gonna reach me here. No one's gonna know I'm gone

 You may think I might be crazy and I guess you might be right

 but I know the way I feel today is out of sight

I do not trust your senses to remember your name

 Without corrective lenses things are never twice the same

 And all it really needed was the proper point of view

No one's gonna bring me down. No one's gonna stop me now.

No one's gonna reach me here. No one's gonna know I'm gone.
