AmCould turn the whole thing aFround
CHORUS:
I'm just Ctrying to get the engine to Amturn
I'm just Ctrying to smile through my Amtears
And I Cstill got so much to Amlearn
But the best I Ccan, is what I got to Amgive
Gonna give it Fwhile I'm Chere
Most days I want to speed Fup
AmSeems like I ought to slow Fdown
CMaybe the pieces are Fhere

Wishing Amsomeone would sing it a Fsong
ACbout how there's a lot of good Fhere
AAmbout how it's done nothing Fwrong

Gonna give it Fwhile I'm ChereG  
BRIDGE:
Sometimes there's a Amchoir in my head
FSinging at the top of their Cvoice
FSinging at the top of their Amvoice
They sing, "CDon't Glook Fback"
"CDon't Gbe Fscared"
"CDon't Gbe FscarAmed___G__"

I'm just Ctrying to smile through my Amtears
And I Cstill got so much to Amlearn
