Helium Chords by Jill Barber

[Intro]

  C  Am7   F   C  
  C  Am7   F   C  
 
 
[Verse]

          C               Am   F   C
We're not getting any younger
                 
I don't know if 
      C           Am     F  C
we're getting any wiser
        C         Am    F   C
Oh, but we can be kinder
      C                      Am
Don't worry about the things that 

we can't change
           F           
Just gotta let 'em go, 
C
let 'em float away
 
 

[Instrumental]

  C   Am 
  F   C  
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

      Dm           
Don't watch a story 
Em               F
where you're down
     Dm            
Keep catching up, 
     Em            F
feet on the ground
 
 
[Chorus]

C                              
 So, you feel your world turned 
       Fadd9
upside down
                                  Am7
And you need some way to turn it around
                            
Take your problems the way 
        G
you are feeling 'em
                      
And make 'em lighter, 
               C
fill them with helium 
                      
Blow 'em up as big as 
         Fadd9
they can go
                        
Tie 'em up a string and 
         Am7
just let go
                          
Take your problems the way 
        G
you are feeling 'em
                       
And make 'em lighter, 
               C      Am  F  C
fill them with helium
 
 
[Instrumental]

  C  Am 
  F   C  
 
 
[Verse]

            C               Am   F   C
'Cause it's only getting harder
              C               Am   F   C
And you don't have to be a martyr
        C          Am     F   C
Oh, but we can be stronger
          C                           
But don't worry about the things that 
Am
we can't control
       F          
If you hit a rock, 
    C
you gotta let it roll
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

      Dm            Em               F
Don't watch a story where you're down
     Dm            
Keep catching up, 
     Em           F
feet on the ground (Huh)
 
 
[Chorus]

C                                      Fadd9
 So, you feel your world turned upside down
                                  Am7
And you need some way to turn it around
                           
Take your problems the way 
        G
you are feeling 'em
                      
And make 'em lighter, 
               C
fill them with helium
                       
Blow 'em up as big as 
         Fadd9
they can go
                        
Tie 'em up a string and  
         Am7
just let go
                           
Take your problems the way 
         G
 you are feeling 

'em and make 'em lighter
 
 
[Bridge]

Dm                   Em
 I keep holding onto you
        F                   Fm
So that I don't float away, too
 
 
[Chorus]

C                                      Fadd9
 So, you feel your world turned upside down
                                  Am7
And you need some way to turn it around
                          
Take your problems the way 
        G
you are feeling 

'em and make 'em lighter
C                     
 Blow 'em up as big as 
         Fadd9
they can go
                        
Tie 'em up a string and 
         Am7
just let go
                           
Take your problems the way 
        G
you are feeling 'em
                      
And make 'em lighter, 
               C       Am  F  C
fill them with helium
 
 
[Outro]

               C     Am    F    C
Fill them with helium
