E                                     Am 
Bloody hell, bloody hell the world is awful 
              E7                          
Well there's killing and starvation  
                               Am 
And injustice and religion everywhere 
E                                    Am 
Everything, everything is looking dreary 
             E7                           
There's too many people in the world  
                                   Am 
And far too much pollution in the air 

Dm                                       Am 
Everything I used to love has turned to shit 
                                       E 
All the world's gone bankrupt now and it 
                                       Am 
Doesn't look like things will soon improve 
Dm                         Am 
I'm noticably older than I was 
                          E 
Definitely fatter just because 
                              Am 
I no longer feel the need to move 

   E7                        
Well, what do you do when the world  
           Am 
Around you makes you so depressed? 
Dm                          B7      
What do you do when you've lost  
       E7 
The motivation to get dressed? 

  A 
Pretend that you are happy 
  E 
And smile when you're feeling blue 
   Bm7                 E 
If you pretend you're happy 
    A 
You'll start to believe it's true 
                 Gbm 
It's better to fake a smile 
  Bm                      E 
Than fill the world with woe 
 Bm7                   E 
So just pretend you're happy 
                 A 
And nobody will know 

( Dm  Am  F  E ) 

E                                     Am 
Bloody hell, bloody hell the world is scary 
              E                         
Cos there's nothing but corruption  
                            Am 
And destruction and reality TV 
E                              Am 
Every day, every day I slowly realise 
       E                           
Every single thing I used to know  
                                   Am 
And trust is run by people just like me! 

Dm                                 Am 
One at a time I'm 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 I'm getting closer to my death 
                    Am 
For which I will probably be alone 

   E                         
Well, what do you do when you've  
                Am 
Lost all the ambitions you once had 
Dm                          B7         
What do you do when the slightest  
       E7 
Inconvenience makes you sad? 

  A 
Pretend that you are happy 
      E 
And smile when you're feeling down 
   Bm                        E 
If your friends think you're happy 
          A 
They'll still want you around 
         Gbm 
You'll realise it's important 
    Bm                      E 
To be glad with what you've got 
 Bm7                   E 
So just pretend you're happy 
           A 
And keep quiet if you're not! 

  A 
Pretend that you are happy 
  E 
And smile when you're feeling blue 
     Bm7               E 
If you pretend you're happy 
    A 
You'll start to believe it's true 
        Gbm 
It's better to fake a smile 
  Bm                      E 
Than fill the world with woe 
     Bm7                E 
So just pretend you're happy 
        A 
And nobody will know
