[Verse 1]
E           
Who's to say
E                
What's impossible
     F#m        
Well they forgot
F#m                      
This world keeps spinning
         E           
And with each new day
E                      F#m       F#m
I can feel a change in everything
                            E             E
And as the surface breaks reflections fade
                        F#m          F#m
But in some ways they remain the same
                         E               E
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
                        F#m  F#m
There's no stopping curiosity

[Chorus]
                               E     F#m  
I want to turn the whole thing 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 every-one
A              B               E       F#m   
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
A                 B              E  
I don't want this feeling to go away

[Instrumental]
     E                E                   F#m              F#m

[Verse 2]
E           
Who's to say
E                    
I can't do everything
     F#m      
Well I can try
F#m                     E          
And as I roll along I begin to find
E                         F#m           F#m
Things aren't always just what they seem

[Chorus]
                               E     F#m  
I want to turn the whole thing 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 every-one
A              B               E       F#m    
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's  songs
A                B                    G#m        F#m  
This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste
        G#m       A                  B                  
Well it all keeps spinning, spinning round and round and
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

[Outro]
