I nev er (F)thought that it’d be eas y, ’cause we’re (C)both so dis tant now,
and the (G)walls are clos ing in on us, and we’re won der ing how.
(Am)No one (F)has a sol id an swer, but you’re still (C)walk ing in the dark, and you can (G)see the look on my face; it just tears me a part.
So (Am)we fight
through the hurt,
and we cry,
and cry,
and cry,
and cry.
And (Am)we live,
and we learn,
and we try,
and try,
and try,
and try.
So it’s up to you and it’s up to me that we meet
in the mid dle on our way back down to earth,
down to earth,
down to earth,
on our way back down to earth.
(Back down to earth, back down to earth, back down to earth, back down to earth, back down to earth, back down to earth, back down to earth.
Ma ma, (F)you were al ways some where, and Dad dy, (C)I live out of town.
So tell me, (G)how could I ev er be nor mal some how?
You (Am)tell me (F)this is for the best, so tell me, (C)why am I in tears?
So far a way, and now I just need you here.
So we (F)fight
through the hurt,
and we cry,
and cry,
and cry,
and cry.
And (Am)we (F)live
and we (C)learn,
and we try,
and try,
and try,
and try.
So it’s up back down to earth, back down to (C)earth.)
We felt so far a (G)way
from where we used to (Am)be.
Now we’re (F)stand ing and where do we (C)go?
But when there’s no (G)road
to get to your heart,
let’s start (F)o ver a gain.
So it’s up to you and it’s up to me that we meet
in the mid dle on our way back down to earth,
down to earth,
down to earth,
on our way back down to...
I nev er (F)thought that it’d be eas y, ’cause we’re (C)both so dis tant now,

This page shows “Down To Earth” by Justin Bieber in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 70 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
