E

Who's to say what's impossible?

     F#m

Have they forgot this world keeps spinning?

         E                                    F#m

And with each new day, I can feel a change in everything.

F#m                        E

And as the surface break reflections fade;

E                       F#m

But in some ways they remain the same.

F#m                      E

And as my mind begins to spread its wings,

E                       F#m

There's no stopping curiosity.

F#m

I wanna turn the whole thing...

 

CHORUS:

E      F#m

Upside down.

A             B                    E        F#m

I'll find the things they say just can't be found.

A               B                E    F#m

I'll share this love I find with everyone.

A              B               E        F#m

We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's song.

A                 B              E

I don't want this feeling to go away.

 

INSTRUMENTAL: [repeat intro riff 2x]

 

Who's to say I can't do everything?  But, I can try.

And as I roll along I begin to find

Things aren't always just what they seem.

I wanna turn the whole thing...

 

CHORUS:

 

BRIDGE [directly from CHORUS]:

   G#m        F#m

...no time to waste.

         G#m                                 A          B

Well, it all keeps spinning & spinning, oh, 'round and 'round.

 

OUTRO:  [3x]

E      F#m

Upside down

A             B                    E        F#m

Who's to say what's impossible and can't be found

A                 B              E

I don't want this feeling to go away

 

E                F#m

Please, don't go away.  [3x]

E       F#m

Is this how it's supposed to be?  [2x]
