V1
I [C] see the world from the inside [F] out
You [C] see the world from the outside [G] in
Some [C] days a struggle to just go [F] out
To [C] keep control of what’s with [G] – in
The [C] world sometimes is just much too [F] loud
You [C] can’t explain to me how it [G] feels
A [C] tiny scratch, your world crashes [F] down
But [C] 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
V2
Your [C] focus can be so in [F] -tense
Special [C] -ising in something [G] new
Follow [C] -ing the rules and you don’t [F] bend
This is what [C] helps 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
Be [C] -ing so smart with an active [F] mind
Some [C] times it’s all too much for [G] you
CHORUS
V3
You [C] love watching nature all 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
You’re [C] literal when I speak to [F] you
I have [C] to explain what it all [G] means
The [C] challenges that you go [F] through
But [C] you still have your hopes and [G] dreams
CHORUS
(quiet )
I [C] see the world from the inside [F] out
You [C] see the world from the outside [G] in
It’s [C] hard to see what the world’s a [F] -bout
When [C] you are happy and safe with [G] -in
