          C               Am   F   C
We're not getting any younger
                      C             Am   F   C
I don't know if we're getting any wiser
        C         Am    F   C
Oh, but we can be kinder
      C                      Am
Don't worry about the things that we can't change
           F           C
Just gotta let 'em go, let 'em float away

♫ Pre-Chorus:
      Dm            Em               F
Don't watch a story where you're down

Keep catching up, feet on the ground


♫ Chorus:
C                                      Fadd9
 So, you feel your world turned upside down
                                  Am7
And you need some way to turn it around
                                   G
Take your problems the way you are feeling 'em
                                     C
And make 'em lighter, fill them with helium
                               Fadd9
Blow 'em up as big as they can go
                                 Am7
Tie 'em up a string and just let go
                                   G
Take your problems the way you are feeling 'em
                                     C     Am    F    C
And make 'em lighter, fill them with helium

♫ Verse 2:
            C               Am   F   C
'Cause it's only getting harder
              C               Am   F   C
And you don't have to be a martyr
        C          Am     F   C
Oh, but we can be stronger
          C                           Am
But don't worry about the things that we can't control
       F               C
If you hit a rock, you gotta let it roll


♫ Pre-Chorus:
      Dm            Em               F
Don't watch a story where you're down
     Dm                Em           F
Keep catching up, feet on the ground (Huh)

Dm                   Em
 I keep holding onto you
        F                   Fm
So that I don't float away, too
