C#m G#m Everything I used to love has turned to shit D# All the worldʼs gone bankrupt now and it G#m Doesnʼt look like things will soon improve C#m G#m Iʼm noticably older than I was D# definitely fatter just because G#m I no longer feel the need to move. Pre-chorus: D#7 G#m Well, what do you do when the world around you makes you so depressed? C#m A#7 D#7 What do you do when youʼve lost the motivation to get dressed? Chorus: G# Pretend that you are happy D# And smile when youʼre feeling blue A#m7 D# If you pretend youʼre happy G# Youʼll start to believe itʼs true Fm Itʼs better to fake a smile A#m7 D# Than fill the world with woe A#m7 D# So just pretend youʼre happy G# And nobody will know. Verse: D# G#m Bloody hell, bloody hell the world is scary D# G#m Cos thereʼs nothing but corruption and destruction and reality TV D# G#m Every day, every day I slowly realise D# G#m Every single thing I used to know and trust is run by people just like me! C#m G#m One at a time Iʼm losing touch with my D# Former friends and lately it seems I G#m Never ring the contacts in my phone C#m G#m Every time I breathe, it could be my last breath D# And Iʼm getting closer to my death G#m For which I will probably be alone Pre-chorus: D# G#m Well, what do you do when youʼve lost all the ambitions you once had C#m A#7 D#7 What do you do when the slightest inconvenience makes you sad?
