F    C Em D7
Get up
F                 C              Em
The day is never gonna turn out exacly how you
 D7 F  C  Em  D7
want

F         C                   Em D7
Hold yourself, there's no one else

F                      C
And you know when the sun dies,
Em
None of this will matter
D7                    F
Half as much as you thought
                C
Learn a little self-love
       Em                  D7           F   C
'Cause you're not half as bad as you thought
Em            D7               F  C Em
Nobody gets exactly what they want
D7           F
What do you want?

You are gonna grow old
Your head might hurt just a little bit more
So take a bit of Calpol
Eventually your arms won't feel so sore
You're staring at your shoes again
It won't be long till these have holes in them too
From dragging your heels when
Your knees are too weak to elevate your thoughts
