[VERSE 1]

C Dm F

Why are you looking down at the ground below you

G7 C

When you could be looking up at the sky up above you?

Not a cloud in sight

F G

You put your hood up to keep it all inside

C Dm

And I would never want somebody

F G

To frown on a perfect day

C Dm

And I have never known somebody

F G

Who preferred it that way

[CHORUS]

'Cause when you're locked up now

You write a story about it

C G F

And it's painted on your face with your tears

But when you walk outside

You wear a mask over all of it, but

C G F

Darling you don't need to fear

'Cause with a face like that

And a heart that matches it

C G F

Well there's beauty inside and out

Yeah the world is loud

So all you need to do is shout

[MELODY]

C Dm F G

[VERSE 2]

C Dm

Hello, how are you doing?

F G

I'm asking 'cause I've got nothing else to say

C Dm

So how has life been treating you?

F G

I think that that answer is overdue

C Dm

Because I would never want somebody

F G

To frown on a perfect day

C Dm

Yes, I have never known somebody

F G

Who preferred it that way

[CHORUS]

'Cause when you're locked up now

You write a story about it

C G F

And it's painted on your face with your tears

But when you walk outside

You wear a mask over all of it, but

C G F

Darling you don't need to fear

'Cause with a face like that

And a heart that matches it

C G F

Well there's beauty inside and out

Yeah the world is loud

So all you need to do is shout

All the weight on your shoulders

Can be lifted with a sound

Oh you just need to let it out

F G7

All you need to do is

[CHORUS]

When you're locked up now

You write a story about it

C G F

And it's painted on your face with your tears

But when you walk outside

You wear a mask over all of it, but

C G F

Darling you don't need to fear

'Cause with a face like that

And a heart that matches it

C G F

Well there's beauty inside and out

Yeah the world is loud
