C G Don't tell me you wanna be Am G The kind of girl who's drowning C G Am And don't go holding on to anything G That's gonna keep you frowning, darling Dm Everyone's compelled to look into the mirror Am When they're crying Dm Just because your tears are pretty G Doesn't mean they'll get you by Chorus: C F G Sing me a sad song and make me feel better C F G Sing me a happy song and I might start to cry Dm G Because everything feels like it's going around in circles Dm G 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? And when the bubble burst We understood that every part of it hurts Chorus C Dm Em F G I'm going to color my glasses rose C Dm Em F G And I'm going to follow where the rainbow goes Dm G And my pot of gold will be waiting Chorus Yeah, everyone knows the world is upside down You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm ![]() C ![]() Dm ![]() Em ![]() F ![]() G ![]() Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
