[CHORUS] 
Cadd9
When the sun shines 
                  G
We’ll shine together 
                         Dsus4
Told you I'll be here forever 
                            Em7
Said I'll always be your friend 

Took an oath 
                            Cadd9
I'mma stick it out 'till the end
                                  G
Now that it's raining more than ever 
                               Dsus4
Know that we still have each other 
                          Em7
You can stand under my Umbrella 
                           Cadd9
You can stand under my Umbrella 
                 G
(Ella ella eh eh eh) 
              Dsus4
Under my umbrella 
                 Em7 Cadd9
(ella ella eh eh eh) 

[Verse]

Cadd9
You have my heart
                  G
We'll never be world's apart
              Dsus4
May be in magazine
                 Em7
But you'll still be my star
            Cadd9
Baby cause in the dark
               G
You can't see shiny cars
                 Dsus4
That's when you need me there
             Em7
With you I'll always share
