And Dmeveryone knows that the world is upside Gdown
CYou were once a Glittle baby
AmFull of optimistic Gwonder
So Cwhat got into Gyou to make you Amthink
That it could pull you Gunder, honey
DmCould it be that we were under
The impression life was Amperfect? La, la, la, la
And Dmwhen the bubble burst
We understood that every part of it Ghurts
Sing me a Csad song and Fmake me feel Gbetter
Sing me a Chappy song and FI might start to Gcry
Because Dmeverything feels like it's going around in Gcircles
And Dmeveryone knows that the world is upside Gdown
             F-  Em-                 C   Dm-  F- G  
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ooo .......   Ah, Ah, Ah, Ooo .......
CI'm Dmgoing to Emcolor Fmy Gglasses rose
And CI'm Dmgoing to Emfollow Fwhere the Grainbow goes
And my Dmpot of gold will be Gwaiting
So sing me a Csad song and Fmake me feel Gbetter
Sing me a Chappy song and FI might start to Gcry
Because Dmeverything feels like it's going around in Gcircles
And Dmeveryone knows that the world is upside Gdown
Yeah, Dmeveryone knows the world is Gupside Cdown
