Standard (EADGBE)

Don't tell me you wanna be

 The kind of girl who's drowning

And don't go holding on to anything

 That's gonna keep you frowning, darling

Everyone's compelled to look into the mirror

 When they're crying

Just because your tears are pretty

 Doesn't mean they'll get you by

Sing me a sad song and make me feel better

 Sing me a happy song and I might start to cry

 Because everything feels like it's going around in circles

 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?

(La, la, la, la, la)

And when the bubble burst

 We understood that every part of it hurts

Sing me a sad song and make me feel better

 Sing me a happy song and I might start to cry

 Because everything feels like it's going around in circles

 And everyone knows that the world is upside down

I'm going to color my glasses rose

 And I'm going to follow where the rainbow goes

 And my pot of gold will be waiting

So sing me a sad song and make me feel better

 Sing me a happy song and I might start to cry

 Because everything feels like it's going around in circles

 And everyone knows that the world is upside down

 Yeah, everyone knows the world is upside down
