Keep your chin up

I wonder if Jack and Diane ever made itAfter the drums and the guitars all faded

Was the best they could do good enough

Or did the heartland just swallow ′em up

How did my mom and my dad ever do it

If there was struggles, then we never knew it

I guess they had each other, that was enough

You know you can't keep the ground from shaking

No matter how hard you try

You can′t keep the sunsets from fading

You gotta treat your life like

You're jumping off a rope swing

Baby 'cause the whole thing′s really just a shot in the dark

You gotta love like there′s no such thing as a broken heart

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart

What am I gonna tell my kids when they see

All of this bullshit that goes down on TV?

When the whole world is down on its luck

I gotta make sure they keep their chin up

Cry when it hurts, laugh when it′s funny

Chase after the dream, don't chase after the money

And know we got each other, that′s what's up

′Cause you can't keep the ground from shaking

No matter how hard you try

You can't keep the sunsets from fading

You gotta treat your life like

You′re jumping off a rope swing

Baby, ′cause the whole thing is really just a shot in the dark

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart

You gotta love like there′s no such thing as a broken heart

You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart

′Cause you can't keep the ground from shaking

No matter how hard you try

You can′t keep the sunsets from fading

You gotta treat your love like

You're jumping off a rope swing

Baby, 'cause the whole thing′s really just a shot in the dark

You gotta love like there′s no such thing as a broken heart

You gotta love, love, love (like there's no such thing)

You gotta love, love, love (as a broken heart)

You gotta love like there′s no such thing as a broken heart
