Pretend You're Happy

E                                     Am
Bloody hell, bloody hell the world is awful
              E7
Well there's killing and starvation
                               Am
And injustice and religion everywhere
E                                    Am
Everything, everything is looking dreary
             E7
There's too many people in the world
                                   Am
And far too much pollution in the air

Dm                                       Am
Everything I used to love has turned to shit
                                       E
All the world's gone bankrupt now and it
                                       Am
Doesn't look like things will soon improve
Dm                         Am
I'm noticably older than I was
                          E
Definitely fatter just because
                              Am
I no longer feel the need to move

   E7
Well, what do you do when the world
           Am
Around you makes you so depressed?
Dm                          B7
What do you do when you've lost
       E7
The motivation to get dressed?

  A
Pretend that you are happy
  E
And smile when you're feeling blue
   Bm7                 E
If you pretend you're happy
    A
You'll start to believe it's true
                 F#m
It's better to fake a smile
  Bm                      E
Than fill the world with woe
 Bm7                   E
So just pretend you're happy
                 A
And nobody will know

( Dm  Am  F  E )

E                                     Am
Bloody hell, bloody hell the world is scary
              E
Cos there's nothing but corruption
                            Am
And destruction and reality TV
E                              Am
Every day, every day I slowly realise
       E
Every single thing I used to know
                                   Am
And trust is run by people just like me!

Dm                                 Am
One at a time I'm losing touch with my
                                  E
Former friends and lately it seems I
                               Am
Never ring the contacts in my phone
Dm                                         Am
Every time I breathe, it could be my last breath
                               E
And I'm getting closer to my death
                    Am
For which I will probably be alone

   E
Well, what do you do when you've
                Am
Lost all the ambitions you once had
Dm                          B7
What do you do when the slightest
       E7
Inconvenience makes you sad?

  A
Pretend that you are happy
      E
And smile when you're feeling down
   Bm                        E
If your friends think you're happy
          A
They'll still want you around
         F#m
You'll realise it's important
    Bm                      E
To be glad with what you've got
 Bm7                   E
So just pretend you're happy
           A
And keep quiet if you're not!

  A
Pretend that you are happy
  E
And smile when you're feeling blue
     Bm7               E
If you pretend you're happy
    A
You'll start to believe it's true
        F#m
It's better to fake a smile
  Bm                      E
Than fill the world with woe
     Bm7                E
So just pretend you're happy
        A
And nobody will know
