  • (Hey, hey)
    (Keep your chin up)
    (Hey, hey)

    I wonder if Jack and Diane ever made it
    After 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 were struggles then we never knew it?
    I guess they had each other and 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 you life like (treat your life)
    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 (keep your 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 and 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 you life like (treat your life)
    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, yeah

    (Hey, hey)

    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 you life like (treat your life)
    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 (treat your life)
    You gotta love, love, love, love (like there's no such thing)
    You gotta love, love, love, yeah (treat your life) (as a broken heart)
    You gotta love like there's no such thing as a broken heart Writer/s: Brad Francis Tursi, Jesse Frasure, Matt Ramsey, Trevor Rosen
