G D Em C


[Verse 1]
G
Learn to fly
           D
I need the wings to try
          Em
I'm gonna touch the sky
                            C
There's more than meets the eye
    G
Now make-believe
             D
Working hard to achieve
               Em
Sometimes it's tough to breathe
                 C
Like salting the Dead Sea


[Pre-Chorus]
        G
I don't remember what I said last night
      D
If it matter, you were probably right
          Em
We can go on like we pretend
          C
We can go on until the end


[Chorus]
    Em                         G
Did you earn the cry now laugh later crown?
      D                         C
Of do you live in laugh now cry later town?
Am                   C                              G
I'm happy if you cry now, I'm happy if you cried it out
                            D
But damn, this thing called life
Am                     C                             G
I'm happy if you laugh now, I'm happy you laughed it out
                            D
But damn, this thing called life


[Verse 2]
       G
Like a game of chess
                       D
And you don't know the rules of chess
          Em
Trying to dodge the mess
              C
Where do I confess?
G
Now and then
                   D
I know I'm hard to comprehend
             Em
Well even to understand
                 C
But I don't bail on friends


[Pre-Chorus]
        G
I don't remember what I said last night
      D
If it matter, you were probably right
          Em
We can go on like we pretend
          C
We can go on until the end


[Chorus]
    Em                         G
Did you earn the cry now laugh later crown?
      D                         C
Of do you live in laugh now cry later town?
Am                   C                              G
I'm happy if you cry now, I'm happy if you cried it out
                            D
But damn, this thing called life
Am                     C                             G
I'm happy if you laugh now, I'm happy you laughed it out
                            D
But damn, this thing called life


[Instrumental]
G   D   Em   C


[Chorus]
    Em                         G
Did you earn the cry now laugh later crown?
      D                         C
Of do you live in laugh now cry later town?
Am                   C                              G
I'm happy if you cry now, I'm happy if you cried it out
                           D
But damn, this thing called life
Am                     C                             G
I'm happy if you laugh now, I'm happy you laughed it out
                            D
But damn, this thing called life
