1]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nBloody hell bloody hell the world is awful[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nWell there's killing and starvation and injustice and religion everywhere[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nEverything everything is looking dreary[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nThere's too many people in the world and far too much pollution in the air.[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nEverything I used to love has turned to shit[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nAll the world's gone bankrupt now and it[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nDoesn't look like things will soon improve[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nI'm noticably older than I was[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]E[/ch]\r\ndefinitely fatter just because[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nI no longer feel the need to move.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Pre-Chorus]\r\n[tab] [ch]E7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nWell what do you do when the world around you makes you so depressed?[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch] [ch]E7[/ch]\r\nWhat do you do when you've lost the motivation to get dressed?[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nPretend that you are happy[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nAnd smile when you're feeling blue[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Bm7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nIf you pretend you're happy[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nYou'll start to believe it's true[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F#m[/ch]\r\nIt's better to fake a smile[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nThan fill the world with woe[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Bm7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nSo just pretend you're

bloody hell the world is scary[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nCos there's nothing but corruption and destruction and reality TV[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nEvery day every day I slowly realise[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nEvery single thing I used to know and trust is run by people just like me![/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nOne at a time I'm losing touch with my[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nFormer friends and lately it seems I[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nNever ring the contacts in my phone[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nEvery time I breathe it could be my last breath[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nAnd I'm getting closer to my death[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nFor which I will probably be alone[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Pre-Chorus]\r\n[tab]

you sad?[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nPretend that you are happy[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nAnd smile when you're feeling down[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nIf your friends think you're happy[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nThey'll still want you around.[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F#m[/ch]\r\nYou'll realise it's important[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nTo be glad with what you've got[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Bm7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nSo just pretend you're happy[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd keep quiet if you're not![/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nPretend that you are
