[G]I wonder if Jack and Diane ever made it, after [C]the drums and the guitars all faded
[G]Was the best they could do good enough? Or did the hard [C]land just swallow ’em up?
How did my [G]mom and my dad ever do it? If there was [C]struggles, then we never knew it
I guess [G]they had each [Em]other, that [C]was enough


You know you [Em]can’t keep the [C]ground from [G]shaking
No [D]matter how hard you try, you [Em]can’t keep the [C]sunsets from [G]fading
You gotta [D]treat your life like you’re [Em]jumping off a rope swing
[C]Baby cause the whole thing’s [G]really just a shot in the [D]dark
You gotta [Em]love like there’s no such thing as a [C]broken [G] [D]heart
You gotta [Em]love like there’s no such thing as a [C]broken [G] [D]heart


What am I gonna [G]tell my kids when they see all of this [C]bullshit that goes down on TV?
When the [G]whole world is down on its luck, I gotta make [C]sure they keep their chin up
Cry when it [G]hurts, laugh when it’s funny, chase after the [C]dream, don’t chase after [Em]the money
And no [G]we got [Em]each other, that’s [C]what’s up


You know you [Em]can’t keep the [C]ground from [G]shaking
No [D]matter how hard you try, you [Em]can’t keep the [C]sunsets from [G]fading
You gotta [D]treat your life like you’re [Em]jumping off a rope swing
[C]Baby cause the whole thing’s [G]really just a shot in the [D]dark
You gotta [Em]love like there’s no such thing as a [C]broken [G] [D]heart
You gotta [Em]love like there’s no such thing as a [C]broken [G] [D]heart


You gotta love like there’s no such thing as a broken heart
[Em] [C] [G] [D] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [Em] [C] [G] [D]
You gotta love like there’s no such thing as a broken heart
You know you [Em]can’t keep the [C]ground from [G]shaking
No [D]matter how hard you try, you [Em]can’t keep the [C]sunsets from [G]fading
You gotta [D]treat your life like you’re [Em]jumping off a rope swing
