D#           G#m
I was gonna cancel
       A#m
Then I looked into the sky
          C#                                B
Knew the badness won't prevent the sun to shine
            G#m
I was gonna cancel
            A#m
Then took a sec to realize
        C#                                D#
All the disappointment that would trail behind
            G#m
I was gonna cancel
     A#m          C#           B
Then you reminded me of who I am
              G#m
Everything is clearer
       A#m
Than a mirror is to woman,
          C#                   D#
just the same as a dog is to man

Chorus:
          G#m
(Oh) Just hop out of the bed (hey)
A#m
Go ahead, face the day
C#
Who cares what you know
       B
Don't let that in the way, no way
G#m
Shut out all the doubt (hey)
A#m
Just get up and go
       C#
What's on the other side? (yeah)
D#
You will never know unless you
G#m     A#m
Go, go, go, gi-i-irl
C#       B
Go, go, go, gi-i-irl
G#m     A#m
Go, go, go, gi-i-irl
C#      D#
Go, go, go, go girl

I was gonna cancel
Then I thought about the strength that
I got from all of the prayers and what it meant
I was gonna cancel
Then I realized that time is just like
money and love
Watch how you spend
I was gonna cancel
Until you reminded me of what I do
Now I see it clearer
My best friend is the mirror look behind me
And I see all the things I've been through

Chorus

                  G#m
What's wrong with saying I love you?
     A#m
It's nothing to kid about
            C#
Some people going through a struggle
B
Trying to scribble it out
           G#m
They say attention is a shovel
     A#m
It's time to dig 'em out
               C#
You can't just let 'em stay in a bubble
         D#
They'll pop to get it out
                 G#m A#m  C# B
What's wrong with love, love?
                 G#m A#m  C# D#
What's wrong with love, love?

Chorus
