[C] [F] [C] [G] like verse
[C] We see the world from the inside [F] out
[C] You see the world from the outside [G] in
[C] some days it’s a struggle to just go [F] out
and try to [C] keep control of what’s with [G] – in
[C] The world sometimes is just much too [F] loud
[C] you can’t explain to me how it [G] feels
[C] A tiny scratch, your world crashes [F] down
[C] but to everyone else it’s no big [G] deal
CHORUS
You’re always [C] fighting, fighting, fighting, oh your own [F] battles
In your mind
You’re always [C] fighting, fighting, fighting, oh your own [F] battles
In your mind
[C] [F] [C] [G] like verse
You have [C] lots of toys that you call [F] friends
A [C] special one gets to go out with [G] you
You [C] follow the rules and you don’t [F] bend
Lots of [C] hugs help you to just get [G] through
There are [C] times when you are funny and [F] kind
Try to [C] socialise and follow the [G] cues
You are [C] so smart with an active [F] mind
Some [C] times it’s just all too much for [G] you
CHORUS
You [C] love watching nature fly a [F] -round
Your [C] favourite thing is to watch the [G] bees
Your [C] world view seems to be upside [F] down
Maybe [C] downside up is how you [G] see
CHORUS
(quiet verse)
We [C] see the world from the inside [F] out
You [C] see the world from the outside [G] in
It’s [C] hard to understand what the world’s a [F] -bout
When [C] you’re happy to just stay safe with [G] -in
