[Intro: ]C#m (4x)
C#m
I can tell by the way you feel,
Somethin' ain't goin' your way
Jeans too tight and your hair ain't right,
We all get some of those days
Ohh, throw that mirror away
Ohh, you know it's gonna be okay
A
Take it down, shake it out,
On the floor
You'll get over it,
C#m E
Let it drop, make it stop, Ohh
A
When you feel like nothing, everybody's something
You and your friend
C#m
Everybody jump in, look at us now
E
Everybody shout out, Ohh
In the spotlight,

No matter what's your outside,
Get it with your inside
Open your eyes, you deserve the spotlight

Take it down, shake it out,
On the floor

I can tell by the way you talk the talk
That somethin' ain't goin' your way
'Cause your jeans too tight and your hair ain't right
Well we all get some of those days
Just take another deep breath, try to hit your reset
You know that I can relate
Put your hands in the air
Now let me hear you shout out
Well get out of my way
