Verse: E7 Am Bloody hell, bloody hell the world is awful E7 Am Well thereʼs killing and starvation and injustice and religion everywhere E7 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 E7 All the worldʼs gone bankrupt now and it Am Doesnʼt look like things will soon improve Dm Am Iʼm noticably older than I was E7 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 E7 And smile when youʼre feeling blue Bm7 E7 If you pretend youʼre happy A Youʼll start to believe itʼs true F#m Itʼs better to fake a smile Bm7 E7 Than fill the world with woe Bm7 E7 So just pretend youʼre happy A And nobody will know. Verse: E7 Am Bloody hell, bloody hell the world is scary E7 Am Cos thereʼs nothing but corruption and destruction and reality TV E7 Am Every day, every day I slowly realise E7 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 E7 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 E7 And Iʼm getting closer to my death Am For which I will probably be alone Pre-chorus: E7 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 E7 And smile when youʼre feeling down Bm7 E7 If your friends think youʼre happy A Theyʼll still want you around. F#m Youʼll realise itʼs important Bm7 E7 To be glad with what youʼve got Bm7 E7 So just pretend youʼre happy A And keep quiet if youʼre not! A Pretend that you are happy E7 And smile when youʼre feeling blue Bm7 E7 If you pretend youʼre happy A Youʼll start to believe itʼs true F#m Itʼs better to fake a smile Bm7 E7 Than fill the world with woe... Bm7 E7 So just pretend youʼre happy A And nobody will know.
