VERSE 1
********
Am                 D
Looking like something from out of space we came
Bm       Bb       C
Nothing much to look at but did he complain
  E              Am        D
He didn`t mind us being here to live in peace and grace
F              E
What we`re doing to him now could put us back in space

----------------------
VERSE 2
********
   Am                  D
We`re thinking like some creatures off the ocean floor
Bm       Bb        C
Losing sight of what we`ve really come here for
  E               Am      D
Can I be heard above the sounds of prejudice and hate
F            E         C
Take time to look around before it gets too late


----------------------
CHORUS
*******
    Am C   D
It`s a happy old world
G         C#m
Give and take a bit that`s what you make of it
 Am G   F#m D
A happy old world
G          E
But I`m sorry to be leaving it

    Am G   D
It`s a happy old world
G          E
Give and take a bit that`s what you make of it
 Am    D
A happy old world
G                     D
 But I guess I still, I still believe in it
E         F#m  C#m
 It`s a happy old world


----------------------
VERSE 3
********
   Am             D
We`re tearing up the rivers and a thousand streams
  Bm          Bb          C
And highways, they`re in places where they`ve never been
   E               Am       D
We`re building towers in the sky and racing for the sun
  F         E
Oh Lord, any eye can see what harm we`ve done


----------------------
VERSE 4
********
Am              D
Need some help to get myself out of this maze
Bm        Bb       C
We can both just say goodbye and go our separate ways
  E                 Am         D
My mind`s not on this song I sing, my heart`s not in the lines
F                       E
 Guess I`ll go and kill myself, so would you kindly close the blinds


----------------------
CHORUS
*******
    Am C   D
It`s a happy old world
G         C#m
Give and take a bit that`s what you make of it
 Am G   F#m D
A happy old world
G          E
But I`m sorry to be leaving it

    Am G   D
It`s a happy old world
G          E
Give and take a bit that`s what you make of it
 Am    D
A happy old world
G               D
 But I guess, guess I still believe in it
E         F#m  C#m
 It`s a happy old world
