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 
 

       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 


 
       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
