A
I woke up from another nightmare
D
With nobody there to calm my nerve
A
Just a vision of two summers playing stateside
D
It seems like such another world
A
They tell you sit down and hush, hush
D
This is how the world works
A
They tell you sit down and hush, hush,
D
You'll die like everybody else
Bm
They say you're only a kid you'll forget it
D
They're too scared to notice
A E
When you're down, keep swinging
D
Because life a mystery
A E D
You never know when you're gonna hit
A E
When you're down, keep swinging
D
Because life is a mystery
F#m E D
But you've got to face your own
A
(A)
So wake me up and bring me daylight
D
Bring me back to where I used to live
A
Growing up with everybody on my shoulders
D
It's so much farther to fall now that I'm older
A
They tell you sit down and hush, hush
D
This is how the world works
A
They tell you sit down and hush, hush,
D
You'll die like everybody else
A E
When you're down, keep swinging
D
Because life a mystery
F#m E D
You never know when you're gonna hit
A E
When you're down, keep swinging
D
Because life is a mystery
F#m E D
But you've got to face your own
(Instrumental: A E D
(D) F#m
So live your life
E D
Just make the best of what you can
E D
Then finish off the rest when you’re free
A D A D
I need to convince myself that I'm gonna die like everybody else
A D A D
I need to convince myself that I'm gonna die like everybody else
A D
That I'm gonna die like everybody else
A E
When you're down, keep swinging
D
Because life a mystery
F#m E D
You never know when you're gonna hit
A E
When you're down, keep swinging
D
Because life is a mystery
F#m E D
But you've got to face your own
A
So keep Swinging
