Tom: Em
E D
Cheer up, it might never happen
E D
Drive-by shootings on the streets of Clapham
E D
Jackboots booting right across the map
E D E
And daddy's gone 'a looking with his pistol packin' mama
E D
And God didn't make the little green apples
E D
With the Halloween grin and the shaving tackle
E D
Another worrying thing for the grans to grapple
E D E
As the earth quakes, shakes and rolls and rattles on
[Chorus]
F G
And if the whole world is a stage
F G
A kaleidoscope of lights and sound
F G
You can take my Equity card away
F D
And burn the theatre to the ground
[Interlude]
C B A
D C B A
[Verse 2]
E D
Cheer up, it might never happen kid
E D
Although I think it probably just did
E D
The Christmas speech was a porno vid
E D
A topless picture on the British quid
E D
Jack and jill went off the cliff
E D
Contract killed in a lovers' tiff
E D
While Ben and Bill smoke a comic spliff
E D
Tom and Jerry built to a moronic riff
[Chorus]
F G
And if the whole world is a stage
F G
A kaleidoscope of lights and sound
F G
You can take my Equity card away
F D
And burn the theatre to the ground
[Bridge]

E F
Burn It Down
E F
Burn It Down
E F
Burn It Down
E F
Burn it Down
D C B A
D C B
[Outro]
D C
Sack the actors and the clowns
B A
Back to practice paper rounds
D C
Sweeping leaves and walking dogs
B A
Daily deeds and bob a jobs
D D
Sitting babies salting snow
B A
Helping ladies cross the road
D C
Washing cars, recycling tins
B A
Catching falling stars and things
D C
Helping old folk corner shop
B A
Little things that mean a lot
D C
A fairytale-like end to violence
B A
Through jumble sales and sponsored silence
D C
Stop the world I want to get back on
B A
I want to learn to love the bomb
D C
And have it tattooed across my gut
B A
The immortal words cheer up
D C B A
It might never happen to you kid
D C B A
It might never happen to you kid
D C B A
It might never happen to you kid
D C B A
Although I think it probably just did
