[Chorus]

But wait

What were we talkin' about?

With my worries and doubts

Hey
              D
Why don't we turn it around?

Spend the rest of the day
         Em           D
With our heads in the clouds

It's a beautiful day
        Em        D
And the sky is so clear

    C
So late in the year
        G
Are the birds and the bees
     Em          D
All feelin' our fear
       C
Do they know what we've done
     C
To their atmosphere?
      G
It's scary to go outside
      Em
It's scary to take a drive
      C
It's scary alone at night
      D
It's scary inside my mind
      G
It's scary to go to school
      Em
It's scary to read the news
      C
It's scary to think of you
      D
I know you're scared too

Let's take a walk and talk

[Bridge]
          G
About the sky and the sea
        C
And the people and trees

And the things we believe
        D
And the love that we need

And the things that we buy

And the reasons we cry
         Em
'Cause we're scared of this life
         C
But it's scary to die

Hey
            D
Why don't we turn this around?
         G
Find the beauty and pain
       Em          D
In the ups and the downs
         C
And just smile now
                 Am7
Man, I'd hate to be a child now
                       C        D
They'll be scared for a while now

[Outro]
G
