[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D Em7
When this world starts a-reelin' from that pressure drop feelin'
D/F# G
We're just treading water each day
D Em7
There's a way to feel better, be well set to weather
D/F# G D/F#
The storms 'til the sun shines again
Em7
When your compass is spinnin'
D
And you're lost on the way
G A
Like a leaf in the wind, friend, hear me when I say
[Chorus]
D Em7
Bubbles up, they will point you towards home
D/F# G
No matter how deep or how far you roam
D Em7
They will show you the surface, the plot and the purpose
D/F# G D/F#
So when the journey gets long
Em7 D/F#
Just know that you are loved, there is light up above
G A Asus4
And the joy is always enough
D
Bubbles up

To my friends who are jolly when melancholy knocks
F#m G
Sometimes they let her in

To sit and share stories of flops and of glories

If ain't half as bad as the bends
Em7 D/F#
Sometimes livin's a struggle, multiplied double
G A Asus4
But they love it too much for the party to end
[Chorus]

Bubbles up, they will point you towards home

No matter how deep or how far you roam

And joy, there's always enough
