Standard (EADGBE)
'Cause you could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
And that progression repeats through the chorus.
The intro chords also have different timing in NR than in ON but it's not too hard to figure out,
and NR doesn't have the piano part or the outro.
Besides the above, this works for both songs!

Intro
Verse
Every word's a new regret if you say it right, right
Every wound can be forgotten in the right light
Oh nostalgia, I don't need you anymore
'Cause the salad days are over and the meat is at my door
Pre-chorus
They might try to tell you how you can live your life
But don't, don't forget it's your right
To do whatever you like, you like, you like, you like
Chorus
'Cause you could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you could shine so bright (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight
Verse
Depression is a little bit like happy hour, right?
So, it's gotta be happening somewhere on any (any) given (given) night
Oh nostalgia, I don't need you anymore
I just hope, my perfect stranger, that my kids look more like yours
Pre-chorus
'Cause they might try to tell you how you can live your life
But don't, don't forget it's your right
To do whatever you like, you like
Chorus
'Cause you could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you can shine so bright (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You can be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you could shine so bright (a-yo, a-yo, a-yo, a-yo)
Bridge
'Cause I had a little bit of bad luck (shine a light on me, shine a light on me)
Oh, under this crumbling world, stuck (shine a light on me, shine a light on me)
A little sweetness keeps just out of reach (shine a light on me, shine a light on me)
'Cause compassion is something that they just don't, just don't teach, teach
Chorus
'Cause you could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you can shine so bright (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own, be your own (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight (a-yo, a-yo)
You could be your own spotlight
You could be the star, you could shine so
Shine so, shine so, shine so
Spotlight, spotlight, spotlight, spotlight
Spotlight
You could be the star, you could shine so bright (Yeah)
You could be your own spotlight

Happy playing!
