2015 – Most Philosophical 8th Grader in America

Evelyn Sload, Connecticut.

Verse 1
(Guitar chords: G D Em C)
There will always be those people
Who will try to drag you down too.
With their snarls, backhanded compliments,
And people who compare themselves to you

Pre Chorus 1
(chords: Em G D C)
But in a month of two,
You’ll look back through your experiences
I hope you’ll see
The people who will be
There till the end

Chorus
(G D Em C)
‘Cuz if you have fallen down
Been pushed straight into the ground,
The people who will help you stand
Will be the ones that stay
With you every single day
The compassionate impact you in every way,
Every single day

Verse2
(G D Em C)
We’ve all experienced those times when you are all alone
You just want to cry.
But the difference is when a person
Comes and never leaves your side.

Pre chorus 2
(Em G D C)
They can change your mind,
Help you view
The world as a better place
That’s all it takes to change somebody’s
Perspective for ever and ever

Chorus
(G D Em C)
‘Cuz if you have fallen down
Been pushed straight into the ground,
The people who will help you stand
Will be the ones that stay
With you every single day
The compassionate impact you in every way,
Every single day

Bridge
(Am, D, Am, D, Am, D, C, D)
Imagine if
We all spread kindness
There would be
Quite a lot to see
People helping people,
Friends helping friends
Everybody there for each other
Until the end

Chorus
(G D Em C)
‘Cuz if you have fallen down
Been pushed straight into the ground,
The people who will help you stand
Will be the ones that stay
With you every single day
The compassionate impact you in every way,
Every single day
