Lyrics

You’ve (Bbmaj9)noth ing to (Bb6)lose, so (Bbmaj9)why not choose to think (Bbmaj9)pos i tive!

When (Bbmaj9)ev er my (Bb6)luck is (Bbmaj9)on the blink, I think (G9sus4)pos i tive!

When (Cm7)ev er I’m feel ing (F9sus4)down and out

and (Bbmaj9)don’t know (Ab)what to do,

I (Gm7)nev er give way (Db)to (C9sus4)fear and (C9)doubt

’cause (F7)think ing (Eb)pos i tive (G#m6)sees me (F7)through!

When (Bbmaj9)ev er my (Bb6)stars are (Bbmaj9)out of sync, I think (Bbmaj9)pos i tive!

I (Bbmaj9)write my thoughts (Bb6)down in (Bbmaj9)pur ple ink and think (G9sus4)pos i tive!

Re (Cm7)mem ber this song when (F9sus4)things go wrong,

then (Bbmaj9)you’ll know (Ab)what to do.

You’re (Gm7)wast ing your time (Db)to (C9sus4)count the (C9)cost

’cause (F7)think ing (Eb)pos i tive, (G#m6)sees me (F7)through!

When

In (C9sus4)no time (C9)you’ll be (Eb)think ing pos i tive, (Bb)too!

When (G#m6)that comes (F7)free!

That’s right!

(Cm7)Pos i tive (B)is the (F9sus4)way to (F#13)be!

When (Bmaj9)ev er I’m (B6)tee ter ing (Bmaj9)on the brink, I think (Bmaj9)pos i tive!

The mo ment I (B6)do, I’m (Bmaj9)in the pink.

I think (G#9sus4)pos i tive!

(G#7)Re (C#m7)mem ber this song when (F#9sus4)things go wrong,

then (Bmaj9)you’ll know (A)what to do.

(G#)In no (C#9sus4)time you’ll (C#9)be think ing (Emaj7)pos i (F#)tive

too!

This page shows “Think Positive” by Leslie Bricusse in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play.
