Pretend Youre Happy by Jay Foreman Guitar Chords
[Verse]
D Gm
Bloody hell bloody hell the world is awful
D7 Gm
Well there’s killing and starvation and injustice and religion everywhere
D Gm
Everything everything is looking dreary
D7 Gm
There’s too many puddles on the ground and far too much pollution in the air.
Cm Gm
Everything I used to love has turned to shit
D
All the world’s gone bankrupt now and it
Gm
Doesn’t look like things will soon improve
Cm Gm
I’m noticably older than I was
D
definitely fatter just because
Gm
I no longer feel the need to move.
[Pre-chorus]
D7 Gm
Well what do you do when the world around you makes you so depressed?
Cm A7 D7
What do you do when you’ve lost the motivation to get dressed?
[Chorus]
G
Pretend that you are happy
D
And smile when you’re feeling blue
Am7 D
If you pretend you’re happy
G
You’ll start to believe it’s true
Em
It’s better to fake a smile
Am D
Than fill the world with woe
Am7 D
So just pretend you’re happy
G
And nobody will know.
[Instrumental]
Cm Gm Eb D
[Verse]
D Gm
Bloody hell bloody hell the world is scary
D Gm
Cos there’s nothing but corruption and destruction and reality TV
D Gm
Every day every day I slowly realise
D Gm
Every single thing I used to know and trust is run by people just like me!
Cm Gm
One at a time I’m losing touch with my
D
Former friends and lately it seems I
Gm
Never ring the contacts in my phone
Cm Gm
Every time I breathe it could be my last breath
D
And I’m getting closer to my death
Gm
For which I will probably be alone
[Pre-chorus]
D Gm
Well what do you do when you’ve lost all the ambitions you once had
Cm A7 D7
What do you do when the slightest inconvenience makes you sad?
[Chorus]
G
Pretend that you are happy
D
And smile when you’re feeling down
Am D
If your friends think you’re happy
G
They’ll still want you around.
Em
You’ll realise it’s important
Am D
To be glad with what you’ve got
Am7 D
So just pretend you’re happy
G
And keep quiet if you’re not!
G
Pretend that you are happy
D
And smile when you’re feeling blue
Am7 D
If you pretend you’re happy
G
You’ll start to believe it’s true
Em
It’s better to fake a smile
Am D
Than fill the world with woe…
Am7 D
So just pretend you’re happy
G
And nobody will know.
