Lyrics

You’ve (Bbmaj7)noth ing to lose so why not choose to think (Bbmaj7)pos i tive!

When (Bbmaj7)ev er my luck is on the blink, I think (G9sus4)pos i tive!

When (Cm7)ev er I’m feel ing (F9sus4)down and out and (Bbmaj7)don’t know (Ab)what to (G9)do,

I (Gm)nev er give way (Db)to (C7)fear and doubt,

’cause (Eb)think ing pos i tive (F)sees me through!

When (Bbmaj7)ev er my stars are out of sync I think (Bbmaj7)pos i tive!

I (Bbmaj7)write my thoughts down in pur ple ink and think (G9sus4)pos i tive!

Re (Cm7)mem ber this song when (F9sus4)things go wrong, then (Bbmaj7)you’ll know (Ab)what to (G9)do.

In (Gm)nev er give way (Db)to (C7)fear and doubt, ’cause (Eb)think ing pos i tive (F)sees me through!

When (C7sus4)no time (C7)you’ll be (F7sus4)think ing pos i (F7)tive (Bb)too.

When (Bbmaj7)ev er I think I’m in the drink I think… (Bbmaj7)Pos i tive?

When (Bbmaj7)ev er my luck goes down the sink I think… (G9sus4)Pos i tive!

When (Cm7)ev er you’re feel ing (F9sus4)low or lost, just (Bbmaj7)take a (Ab)tip from (G9)me.

You’re (Gm)nev er give way (Db)to (C7)fear and doubt, ’cause (Eb)think ing pos i tive (F)sees me through!

When (C7sus4)no time (C7)you’ll be (F7sus4)think ing pos i (F7)tive (Bb)too.

When (Gm)wast ing your time (Db)to (C7)count the cost, ’cause (Eb)think ing pos i tive, (F)that comes free!

(Cm7)Pos i tive (F)is the (Cm7)way to (G13)be!

When (Cmaj7)ev er I’m tee ter ing on the brink, I think (Cmaj7)pos i tive!

The (Cmaj7)mo ment I do, I’m in the pink; I think (A9sus4)pos i tive!

Re (Dm7)mem ber this song when (G9sus4)things go wrong, then (Cmaj7)you’ll know (Bb)what to (A7)do!

In (D9)no time you’ll be (G13)think ing pos i tive too!
