There are three things I do when my life falls apart 
       G         C           D               G 
Number one I cry my eyes out and I dry up my heart 
G           C            D           Em 
Not until I do this will my new life start  
          G                      C          D          G 
So that's the first thing that I do when my life falls apart.

       G              C       D                G 
Oh the second thing I do is I close both of my eyes 
    G                     C              D            G 
And sing my thank yous to each and every moment of my life. 
  G          C                           D          Em 
I go where I know the love is and let it feel my up inside 
      G                     C           D          G 
Gathering new strength from sorrow, I'm glad to be alive.

Things are looking up 
                                   G 
I know above the clouds the sun is shining 
                   C 
Things are looking up 
                              Em     D 
Love is still the answer I'm relying on 
                  G 
just three little things

         G 
Yeah the third thing that I do now when my world caves in, 
     G 
is I pause I take a breath and bow and I let that chapter end.  
  G                C             D                 Em 
I design my future bright not by where my life has been.  
    G           C         D 
And I try, try, try, try, try again.  
    G           C         D 
Yes I try, try, try, try, try again.

Things are looking up 
                                   Em      D 
I know above the clouds the sun is shining on
