Tom: F#m
E Am
Bloody hell bloody hell the world is awful
E7 Am
Well there's killing and starvation and injustice and religion everywhere
E Am
Everything everything is looking dreary
E7 Am
There's too many people in the world 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.
[Pre-Chorus]
E7 Am
Well what do you do when the world around you makes you so depressed?
Dm B7 E7
What do you do when you've lost the motivation to get dressed?
[Chorus]
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.
[Instrumental]
Dm Am F E
[Verse 2]
E Am
Bloody hell bloody hell the world is scary
E Am
Cos there's nothing but corruption and destruction and reality TV
E Am
Every day every day I slowly realise
E Am
Every single thing I used to know 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
[Pre-Chorus]
E Am
Well what do you do when you've lost all the ambitions you once had
Dm B7 E7
What do you do when the slightest inconvenience makes you sad?
[Chorus]
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.
