Intro.:  (D) x 8measures

Hey, you (D)kids, (G)bullyin' the kids down at (A)your school
One of these days you're gonna (G)grow up, be ashamed
Who gave (D)you the right to de-(G)cide who is and who (A)ain't cool
Who could sit at your (G)table and be on your team and play your games

(Chorus)
Let 'em (G)shine, shine like a (D)diamond
Give 'em (A)time and you'll find there's no cover (D)rose
God's (G)light shines for every-(D)body  (G)
So get out-ta (D)His way, (A)nothin' grows in (D)shadows

Hey, you (D)fathers, (G)screamin' at your (A)kids from the bleachers
Sayin' "quit actin' like a (G)sissy, suck it up and win"
Maybe (D)you ought'a (G)stop and think a-(A)bout what you're teachin'
Yeah, you talk about a (G)loser, I don't think it's them

(Chorus)
Let 'em (G)shine, shine like a (D)diamond
Give 'em (A)time and you'll find there's no cover (D)rose
God's (G)light shines for every-(D)body  (G)
So get out-ta (D)His way, (A)nothin' grows in (D)shadows

Well, (G)I aint sayin' I aint been a shadow myself
A (D)dark cloud that rained on somebody else
(A)Well, I learned a lesson that I need to tell
The (D)doctor that saved my mommas life,
helped beat her cancer, made sure she got well,
was a kid I went to school with all my life  (G)
Man, I used to give him hell

(Chorus)
Let 'em (G)shine, shine like a (D)diamond
Give 'em (A)time and you'll find there's no cover (D)rose
God's (G)light shines for every-(D)body  (G)
So get out-ta (D)His way, (A)nothin' grows in (D)shadows

(G)Oh, get out-ta (D)His way, (A)nothin' grows in shadows (D)
