Chin Up

[Verse 1] Oh, they say “look on the bright side” While the light burns out inside “It can always get worse" they say As if that makes things okay Your friends toast drinks without you now They’re laughing with a different crowd And your lover swears it was “just a kiss” But keep your chin up, you'll get through this [Pre-Chorus] Smile for the strangers Pretend you’re fine Sell your tears for pennies Hide the warning signs [Chorus] Chin up, babe, it’s just your life One bad day won’t cut like a knife Breathe in deep, try not to shake Fake it ‘til your bones all break Chin up, babe, keep standing tall There’s so much further you could fall If life's a joke, then play your part Chin up with a broken heart [Instrumental Solo] [Verse 2] Oh, they say “this too shall pass” While they’re watching from the glass You’re the circus, they’re the crowd Cheering when you crash out loud Every pep talk tastes like blood Bite your lip, wait for the flood And life's a game you’ll never win Play along until the end [Pre-Chorus] Smile for the strangers Pretend you’re fine Sell your tears for pennies Hide the warning signs [Chorus] Chin up, babe, it’s just your life One bad day won’t cut like a knife Breathe in deep, try not to shake Fake it ‘til your bones all break Chin up, babe, keep standing tall There’s so much further you could fall If life's a joke, then play your part Chin up with a broken heart [Instrumental Solo] [Bridge] Clap along while they tear you down With their stupid phrases, so profound "Cheer up, it's nothing, just a phase" While your life's a mess they made Raise a toast to your own despair Dance alone while they just stare Laugh at yourself before they do Play the fool like they told you to And when they clap, keep counting lies The show goes on while your spirit dies [Instrumental Solo] [Pre-Chorus] Smile for the strangers Pretend you’re fine Sell your tears for pennies Hide the warning signs [Chorus] Chin up, babe, it’s just your life One bad day won’t cut like a knife Breathe in deep, try not to shake Fake it ‘til your bones all break Chin up, babe, keep standing tall There’s so much further you could fall If life's a joke, then play your part Chin up with a broken heart [Outro] Oh, chin up Oh, chin up ‘Cause it can always get worse Yeah, it can always get worse Pre-Chorus] Smile for the strangers Pretend you’re fine Sell your tears for pennies Hide the warning signs [Chorus] Chin up, babe, it’s just your life One bad day won’t cut like a knife Breathe in deep, try not to shake Fake it ‘til your bones all break Chin up, babe, keep standing tall There’s so much further you could fall If life's a joke, then play your part Chin up with a broken heart [Outro] Oh, chin up Oh, chin up ‘Cause it can always get worse Yeah, it can always get worse
