Note: The chords over words like hair-  this is for timing.
The chord gets played at the tail end of that word.  It sounds
off if you come in any sooner than that but to each his own.

   THE UPSIDE OF BEING DOWN   Catherine Britt

B                                         E               B
I don't have to put on make up  I don't have to do my hair-
B                                      F#
And when I open up that hoggendas well I don't have to share
             B                           E                  B 
And there's no one there to notice If I gain a couple pounds-
           E          F#            B    
That's the    upside-ide of being down
           B                                  E                B         
I've got twice the closet space  that I can fill up with new shoes
            B                                      F#
And I can paint the bedroom pretty pink with lacy curtains if I choose
             B                                      E            B
And I won't have to deal with fishing gear, muddy boots laying round
           E         F#            B
That's the   upside-ide of being down

CHORUS:
F#                        E         B   
Days when I'm feelin' low   yeah I got 'em
          E                               F# 
When my tears won't stop falling to the ground
             F#                       E
But there's only one place left to go-oh 
                     B 
When you're at the bottom
               E         F#              B
And that's the   upside-ide of being down-



       B                                      E                 B  
I can let my dog jump on the bed and curl up next to me at night-
              B                             F#   
And I don't have to lose an argument cause now I'm always right
            B                             E                 B
and I can dance with who I want to when I go out on the town-
               E         F#              B
and that's the   upside-ide of being down-

to chorus, to ending

ENDING:
E                        B    F#            B 
  yeah-eah that's the upside-ide of being down
