C                  G
Don't tell me you wanna be
     Am                  G
The kind of girl who's drowning
C                    G         Am
And don't go holding on to anything
                        G
That's gonna keep you frowning, darling
Dm
Everyone's compelled to look into the mirror
               Am
When they're crying
Dm
Just because your tears are pretty
                              G
Doesn't mean they'll get you by

Chorus:
           C            F            G
Sing me a sad song and make me feel better
           C             F                  G
Sing me a happy song and I might start to cry
        Dm                                          G
Because everything feels like it's going around in circles
    Dm                                  G
And everyone knows that the world is upside down

You were once a little baby
Full of optimistic wonder
So what got into you to make you think
That it could pull you under, honey

Could it be that we were under
The impression life was perfect?
And when the bubble burst
We understood that every part of it hurts

Chorus

C    Dm       Em    F   G
I'm going to color my glasses rose
    C    Dm       Em      F        G
And I'm going to follow where the rainbow goes
       Dm                   G
And my pot of gold will be waiting

Chorus

Yeah, everyone knows the world is upside down
