Verse: E Am Bloody hell, bloody hell the world is awful E7 Am Well thereʼs killing and starvation and injustice and religion everywhere E Am Everything, everything is looking dreary E7 Am Thereʼs too many puddles on the ground and far too much pollution in the air. Dm Am Everything I used to love has turned to shit E All the worldʼs gone bankrupt now and it Am Doesnʼt look like things will soon improve Dm Am Iʼm 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 youʼve lost the motivation to get dressed? Chorus: A Pretend that you are happy E And smile when youʼre feeling blue Bm7 E If you pretend youʼre happy A Youʼll start to believe itʼs true F#m Itʼs better to fake a smile Bm7 E Than fill the world with woe Bm7 E So just pretend youʼre happy A And nobody will know. Verse: E Am Bloody hell, bloody hell the world is scary E Am Cos thereʼs 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 Iʼm 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 Iʼm getting closer to my death Am For which I will probably be alone Pre-chorus: E Am Well, what do you do when youʼve 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 youʼre feeling down Bm7 E If your friends think youʼre happy A Theyʼll still want you around. F#m Youʼll realise itʼs important Bm7 E To be glad with what youʼve got Bm7 E So just pretend youʼre happy A And keep quiet if youʼre not! A Pretend that you are happy E And smile when youʼre feeling blue Bm7 E If you pretend youʼre happy A Youʼll start to believe itʼs true F#m Itʼs better to fake a smile Bm7 E Than fill the world with woe... Bm7 E So just pretend youʼre happy A And nobody will know.
