F                                Am 
Every word's a new regret if you say it right, right 
G                                   C 
Every wound can be forgotten in the right light 
F                     Am 
Oh nostalgia, I don't need you anymore 
G                                     C 
Cause the salad days are over and the meat is at my door 
           F                                           Am 
Cause they might try to tell you how you can live your life 
                                  G                         C 
But don't, don't forget it's your right, to do whatever you like, you like 
                
Cause you could be your own spotlight,  

F 
e-o, e-o 
          G           Am 
You could be your own spotlight,  
F 
e-o, e-o 
          G           Am 
You could be your own spotlight,  
F                              G        Am 
you could be the star, you can shine so bright,  
F 
e-o, e-o, 
    G                      Am               F                        G 
You could be your own, cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break 
   Am   F                G         Am                F 
To take away that light, somebody, somebody now 
          G           Am 
You could be your own spotlight,  
F 
e-o, e-o 
          G           Am 
You could be your own spotlight. 

(same chords as first verse) 

F                               Am 
Depression is a little bit like happy hour, right 
     G                                      C 
It's always gotta be happening somewhere on any given night 
F                    Am 
Oh nostalgia I don't need you anymore 
       G                                C 
I just hope my perfect stranger that my kids look more like yours 

           F                                           Am 
Cause they might try to tell you how you can live your life 
                                  G                         C 
But don't, don't forget it's your right, to do whatever you like, you like 
                 
Cause you could be your own spotlight,  

F 
e-o, e-o 
          G           Am 
You could be your own spotlight,  
F 
e-o, e-o 
          G           Am 
You could be your own spotlight,

F 
e-o, e-o, 
    G                      Am               F                        G 
You could be your own, cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break 
   Am   F                G         Am                F 
To take away that light, somebody, somebody now 
          G           Am 
You could be your own spotlight,  
F 
e-o, e-o 
          G           Am 
You could be your own  
        Csus4                   C 
cause I had a little bit of bad luck 
    Csus4                          C 
Oh, when will this crumbling world stop 
       F                                  Am  G 
Little sweetness keeps just out of reach 
       F                                                       G 
Cause compassion is something that they just don't, just don't teach, teach 
 
Cause you could be your own spot light,  

F 
e-o, e-o 
          G           Am 
You could be your own spotlight,  
F 
e-o, e-o

You could be your own, cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break 
   Am   F                G         Am                F 
To take away that light, somebody, somebody now 
          G           Am 
You could be your own spotlight,  
F 
e-o, e-o 
          G           Am 
You could be your own spotlight.
