Verse 1:
            C               D            G
“With your smile, turn the world upside down”


  Em                 B
Sit down, I’m gonna tell ya
   Am                               B
a little story ‘bout a sad little fella
         Em              B
He was a Dapper-Dan Cinderella
                 Am
Oh, and let me tell ya
                           B
It made the other fellas jealous


C                D
They made him cry
        G
“Na na na”
             C
Spit in his eye
       Am
“Ha ha ha”
                 Am                               B
How could they pick on such a friendly little guy?

Verse 2:
    Em               B
This town was kinda broken
         Am                                  B
Not the kind of place you’d leave your doors open
          Em                  B
Full of backwards, back-woods broke-men
                Am
Still he was copin’
                     B
Yeah he was dreamin’ hopin’


C          D
He’d get away
        G
“Na na na”
            C
Maybe someday
        Am
“Ha ha ha”
               Am                    B
But on the radio his momma used to play.

Chorus:
Am                           D          G        C
“When it feels like all the world is wearing a frown
       Am            B          E
Put a smile on and spread it around.”


            C               D           G
With your smile, turn the world upside down.

Interlude: B

Chorus:
Em      C
Da da, da da da da
Am         B                  X4
Da da da da da dada

Verse 3:
    Em               B
Well now he had the spirit
         Am                        B
And he would smile every time he’d hear it
        Em                   B
Soon he knew every single lyric
           B
Oh, and he would sing it
            C                    Am
And in his sleep he’d dream it


             D
All day and night
        G
“Na na na”
               C
Through every fight
       Am
“La La La”
              Am              B
You wouldn’t judge him if you knew what it was like

Verse 4:
    Em                  B
And how, as luck would have it
         C                        B
He got rewarded for his weird new habit
            Em                   B
He earned a fat green stack of cabbage
                         C
And he planned to stash it
          D               C
Till he was livin’ lavish


C             D
That fateful day
       G
“Na na na”
        C
He ran away
       Am
“La La La”
                                B
And he could hear the song his momma used to play

Chorus:
Am                           D          G        C
“When it feels like all the world is wearing a frown
       Am            B          E
Put a smile on and spread it around.”


            C               D           Em
With your smile, turn the world upside down.

Chorus:
Em      C
Da da, da da da da
Am         B        (x4)
Da da da da da dada


           Am                D         G        C
When it feels like all the world is wearing a frown
        Am             B        E  E7
Put a smile on and spread it around.
         C                    D            G
With my smile, I turned the world upside down.
