[Verse]
EBloody hell bloody hell the world is Amawful
Well there's E7killing and starvation and injustice and religion everyAmwhere
EEverything everything is looking Amdreary
There's too E7many puddles on the ground and far too much pollution in the Amair.
DmEverything I used to love has turned to Amshit
All the world's gone bankrupt now and Eit
Doesn't look like things will soon imAmprove
DmI'm noticably older than I Amwas
definitely fatter just beEcause
I no longer feel the need to Ammove.
[Pre-chorus]
Well E7what do you do when the world around you Ammakes you so depressed?
DmWhat do you do when you've B7lost the motiE7vation to get dressed?
[Chorus]
PreAtend that you are happy
And Esmile when you're feeling blue
If Bm7you pretend you're Ehappy
You'll Astart to believe it's true
It's better to fake a F#msmile
Than Bmfill the world with Ewoe
So Bm7just pretend you're Ehappy
And nobody will Aknow.
[Instrumental]
Dm Am F E
[Verse]
EBloody hell bloody hell the world is Amscary
Cos there's Enothing but corruption and destruction and reality TAmV
EEvery day every day I slowly Amrealise
Every Esingle thing I used to know and trust is run by people just like Amme!
DmOne at a time I'm losing touch with Ammy
Former friends and lately it seems EI
Never ring the contacts in my Amphone
DmEvery time I breathe it could be my last Ambreath
And I'm getting closer to my Edeath
For which I will probably be Amalone
[Pre-chorus]
Well Ewhat do you do when you've lost all the amAmbitions you once had
DmWhat do you do when the B7slightest inconE7venience makes you sad?
[Chorus]
PreAtend that you are happy
And Esmile when you're feeling down
If Bmyour friends think you're Ehappy
They'll Astill want you around.
You'll realise it's F#mimportant
To be Bmglad with what you've Egot
So Bm7just pretend you're Ehappy
And keep quiet if you're Anot!
PreAtend that you are happy
And Esmile when you're feeling blue
If Bm7you pretend you're Ehappy
You'll Astart to believe it's true
It's better to fake a F#msmile
Than Bmfill the world with Ewoe...
So Bm7just pretend you're Ehappy
And nobody will Aknow.
