1.
A C#m
That's the problem, dear, with angry people, they
D E
Try to go it alone
A C#m
Digging in and making cranky feeble pleas that
D E
Other angries disown
A C#m
Angry people think a good solution is
D E
Getting others involved
A C#m
So they surround themselves with happy people
D E
And watch their smiles dissolve
[Chorus]
Bm E
We just drag them down
Bm E
We just drag them down
Bm E
We just drag them down
A C#mD E A C#mD E
N.C.
Until they're just like us.
2.
A C#m
Angry people get so sanctimonious
D E
Telling us what to do
A C#m
Hoping no one outs them all as phonies just
D E
Cause we are all phonies too.
A C#m
Those of us who once had wives and families
D E
Understand what I mean
A C#m
What was once a calm and peaceful refuge
D E
Is overtaken by spleen
[Chorus]
Bm E
Cause we just drag them down
Bm E
We just drag them down
Bm E
We just drag them down
Bm E A (carries through to bridge)
Until they're just like us.
[Bridge]
A C#m D
()
I am the singer in the band
F#m E A
We're only trying to lend a hand
C#m D
And though it's not what we had planned
E
We understand
[Chorus]

That we just drag you down
Bm E
We just drag you down
Bm E
We just drag you down
Until you're just like us.

A C#m
In a square, a thousand angry people are
D E
Waving signs in the air
A C#m
While a million other happy people are
D E
Trying hard not to care.
A C#m
All the happy people's biggest problem is
D E
Never fearing the worst
A C#m
While the rest of us will never sleep until
D E
Your happy bubbles are burst
[Chorus]
Bm E
We just drag you down
Bm E
Didn’t I just drag you down
Bm E
We just drag you down
A C#m D
Until you're just like us.
Dm Bm E
Oh, Until you’re just like us
N.C.
Till you’re just like us
