Quick kid quip, so harsh and cynical

But it's how you say 'em now that's changed

Gm C F

Cold but sympathetic all the same

Chorus:

Dm Bb Gm C

Lie to convince me that I'll be better off

Gm Bb Dm C

So you go on and I'll be happier, I'll be happier

Gm F

You go on, yeah, you go on

Dm Bb

You'll be gone and I'll be happier

Verse:

Shoot me with your rubber bullets

Your finger's on the trigger, pull it

Dm Bb

I know you want this suffering to end

Gm C F

So it is forgivable my friend

Chorus:

Dm Bb Gm C

It's all to convince me that I'll be better off

Gm Bb Dm C

So you go on and I'll be happier, you go on and I'll be happier

Gm F

You go on, yeah, you go on

Dm Bb

You'll be gone and I'll be happier
