[Verse 1] 
GCDG There are three things I do when my life falls apart
GCDG Number one I cry my eyes out and I dry up my heart
GCDEm Not until I do this will my new life start
GCDG So that's the first thing that I do when my life falls apart.
G C D G 
G C D G
[Verse 2] 
GCDG Oh the second thing I do is I close both of my eyes
GCDG And sing my thank yous to each and every moment of my life.
GCDEm I go where I know the love is and let it feel my up inside
GCDG Gathering new strength from sorrow, I'm glad to be alive.
 [Instrumental] 
G C D G
[Chorus] 
C Things are looking up
G I know above the clouds the sun is shining
C Things are looking up
EmD Love is still the answer I'm relying on
G just three little things
 [Interlude] 
GCDG oh oh oh oh
GCDG oh oh oh oh (three little things)
GCDEm oh oh oh oh
GCDG oh oh oh oh
 [Verse 3] 
G Yeah the third thing that I do now when my world caves in,
G is I pause I take a breath and bow and I let that chapter end.
GCDEm I design my future bright not by where my life has been.
GCD And I try, try, try, try, try again.
GCD Yes I try, try, try, try, try again.
 [Chorus] 
C Things are looking up
G I know beyond the dark the sun is rising
C Things are looking up
EmD I know above the clouds the sun is shining on
G Things are looking up
CEmD Love is still the answer I am relying on (Three little things)
 [Interlude] 
GCDG oh oh oh oh
GCDG oh oh oh oh
GCDEm oh oh oh oh
GCDG
