Intro: C  Am 


C                        G 
The downside of being up is my inside is empty of 
Am                           F 
The one thing my heart truly needs 
C                      G 
When I feel invincible a million miles from miserable 
 Am                  F 
It's always all about me 


C                                        G                Am 
I don't know why I don't love You like I should, like You would 
       F 
Through bad and good oh 


C            G                Am           F 
Funny how we figure out where happiness is found 
C               G                Am            F 
In the midst of this sadness I'm closer to You now 
(Pause)                  C                   G 
And that?s the upside of down, the upside of down 
                  Am                   F 
It?s all switched around, I lost and I found 
              C    (Kind of pick it right here) 
The upside of down 


C                        G 
You are more in my less, You are strength in my weakness 
 Am                  F 
I'll never go back again 
C                                    G 
And then Your sunshine ends the rain and I return to my old ways 
 Am                     F 
Why am I a fair weather friend? 


 C                                    G                Am 
I wanna be the one to love You like I should, like You would 
       F 
Through the bad and good oh 


C            G                Am           F 
Funny how we figure out where happiness is found 
C               G                Am            F 
In the midst of this sadness I'm closer to You now 
F 
That's the upside of... 


Am                       F                  C       G 
Tragedies knowing You're holding my heart always, always 
Am                    F                          C            G 
I may be down but I'm finding there's joy in the pain, in the pain 


C           G               Am          F 
Funny how we figure out where happiness is found 
C              G               Am          F  
In the midst of this sadness I'm closer, I?m closer to You now and oh 


C            G                Am           F 
Funny how we figure out where happiness is found 
C               G                Am            F 
In the midst of this sadness I'm closer to You now 
                         C                   G 
And that?s the upside of down, the upside of down 
                  Am                   F 
It?s all switched around, I lost and I found 
              C 
The upside of down 
              G 
The upside of down 
                  Am                   F 
It?s all switched around, I lost and I found 
              C (End here)
