[Verse 1]
     D
When I woke up this morning
              A
Much to my surprise
                           D
The sun was going down and I was still alive
  D
I looked into the mirror
                    A
And according to my eyes
                                D
The martians have invaded, it's hopeless

[Interlude]
D  E Em D

[Verse 2]
  D
I went to see my doctor
                   A
To ask him what to do
                     D
Depending on the diagnosis
         D
I said, "Doc, I'm seeing double
                    A
And how are both of you?"
                         D
No cause for alarm, it's hopeless

[Chorus 1]
G                              D
You don't stand a chance, it's hopeless
A                    D
Everybody dance

[Interlude]
D  E Em D

[Verse 3]
              D
Well, there's paradise and doomsday
                          A
It depends on which comes first
                                D
There's inner peace through meditation
        D
There's optimists and pessimists
                      A
I don't know which is worse
                                                 D
But the yogi mow mow, but the yogi mow mow, it's hopeless

[Chorus 2]
      G
The solution has been dissolved
    D
The crisis has been resolved
           A
There's no need to change your plans
                    D      D7
It's a hopeless situation
      G
For tomorrow is another day
    D
And everything will be okay
A                         D
     And by the way, it's hopeless (hopeless)
