then just kind of alternate plucking within the A chord and the Dm chord and I believe
it ends on Dm.
Bright lights, big city
Was quite extraordinary.
The drive was pretty.
I was in perfect company.
The love of a lifetime,
Since we were elementary friends;
The one with the bright eyes..
Why cannot I be optimistic?
I tried to find the logic logically.
I had a dream and I could not shake it.
I was standing up there naked.
There´s fear in the truth at hand, frozen I forgot to understand
The live keep living; growing older more into a man..
And I let her grow away from me.
Love.. love is not pretending.
Time.. time was meant for mending
Memories into all is satisfactory,
Healthy smiles fill the page the day we spent in miles.
And I let her drive away from me.
The one with the bright eyes
Laughed her way inside this music box;
Stored away in the corner of my heart. And I let her get away from me
But I´ll never take that day away from me.

Verse:
basically just follow the pattern in the intro. The first part. He will use the second
but you will be good little musicians and find out where.
---in the song when Jason says:---
"Growin' older more into a man"
on "man", he plays the A string 9th fret. That's it.
"...the day we spent in miles.."
on "miles", keepp the Fchord,and take the 3rd fret on the d string and move it to the 4th.
-This part is a bit different:
F C
And she sang 'let the sun shine in. And face it with a grin.'
G C
Oh smilers they never lose. Oh and frowners, they never win.
F C
Oh let the sun shine in. And face it with a grin.
G C F* C
Oh fill your heart, and let the sun shine in.
"..stored away in the corner of my heart.."
on "my", again keep the F, and take the 3rd on the d and move it to 4.

Bright lights, big city
Was quite extraordinary.
The drive was pretty.
I was in perfect company.
The love of a lifetime,
Since we were elementary friends;
The one with the bright eyes..
Why cannot I be optimistic?
I tried to find the logic logically.
I had a dream and I could not shake it.
I was standing up there naked.
There´s fear in the truth at hand, frozen I forgot to understand
The live keep living; growing older more into a man..
And I let her grow away from me.
Love.. love is not pretending.
Time.. time was meant for mending
Memories into all is satisfactory,
Healthy smiles fill the page the day we spent in miles.
And I let her drive away from me.
The one with the bright eyes
Laughed her way inside this music box;
Stored away in the corner of my heart. And I let her get away from me
But I´ll never take that day away from me.
