verse 1 
Em           D         C                 G 
You might be envious, of the life some others have 
Em               D           C 
and wish it was you and not them 
Em            D           C          G 
But then of course that just wont happen,

You are you and not them 

verse 2

Are you sure about them, being better off than you, 
Em                         D                 C 
do you think what they’ve got has come for free 
Em           D              C          G 
how do you know you’d be happier than you are now 
Em                     D             C 
better the devil you know if you ask me

If everybody should, put their cross in the square, they’ll end up picking up their own 
Em       D            C              G                Em             D               C

verse 3 
Em                  D              C                G 
If you’re proud of who you are,  what you have and what you’ve got 
Em                     D         C 
And walk with you’re head held high 
Em                D                C          G 
Then they will notice you they’ll see you’ve been set free 
Em                 D          C 
And feel a little jealous of you
