[Verse 1]
C                                      Am
Life can take your dreams and turn them upside down
C                                      G
Friends will talk about you when you're not around
C           Am            G        F
Reality can really cut you down to size
    C          Am        G             F
But don't ever lose that light in your eyes
C            Am        G             C
  Don't ever lose that light in your eyes

[Verse 2]
C                               Am
People make you promises they'll never keep
C                              G
Soon you'll know why people say talk is cheap
C              Am      G     F
Life resembles one big compromise
C          Am        G             F  
Don't ever lose that light in your eyes
C            Am        G             C
  Don't ever lose that light in your eyes

[Chorus] 
Am                G
  Keep on shining, keep on smiling
F                      C          G
  Don't lose faith and don't lose heart
Am                   G                      F
  When you're crying, just keep trying to remind yourself
         G
You're a shining star, yes you are

[Verse 3]
C                                      Am
Somewhere down the line you'll face the judgment day
C                           G
When the angels look at you, what will you say?
        C            Am         G     F
They've got a way of knowing who qualifies
C            Am       G             F
Just let 'em see that light in your eyes
C            Am        G             C
  Don't ever lose that light in your eyes

[Chorus] 
Am                G
  Keep on shining, keep on smiling
F                      C          G
  Don't lose faith and don't lose heart
Am                   G                      F
  When you're crying, just keep trying to remind yourself
         G
You're a shining star, yes you are
