G              C          D          G
There are three things I do when my life falls apart
       G         C           D               G
Number one I cry my eyes out and I dry up my heart
G           C            D           Em
Not until I do this will my new life start 
          G                      C          D          G     
So that's the first thing that I do when my life falls apart.

[Verse 2]       
       G              C       D                G
Oh the second thing I do is I close both of my eyes
    G                     C              D            G
And sing my thank yous to each and every moment of my life.
  G          C                           D          Em
I go where I know the love is and let it fill me up inside
      G                     C           D          G
Gathering new strength from sorrow, I'm glad to be alive.

[Chorus]
                   C
Things are looking up
                                   G
I know above the clouds the sun is shining
                   C
Things are looking up
                              Em     D
Love is still the answer I'm relying on
                  G
just three little things

[Interlude]
G  C  D  G
oh oh oh oh
G  C  D  G
oh oh oh oh (three little things)
G  C  D  Em
oh oh oh oh
G  C  D  G
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. 
  G                C             D                 Em
I design my future bright not by where my life has been. 
    G           C         D
And I try, try, try, try, try again. 
    G           C         D
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
                                   Em      D
I know above the clouds the sun is shining on
                   G
Things are looking up
C                            Em       D
Love is still the answer I am relying on (Three little things)
