Pretend you're happy when you're blue; 
         C5          D5    A5    D5 
It isn't very hard to do 
                F5             D5     G5 
And you'll find happiness without an end 
    F5     G5     C5     B5    G5

Remember anyone can dream , 
              C5            D5    A5   D5 
And nothing's bad as it may seem; 
             F5        D5     G5 
The little things you haven't got 
       F5    G5           C5   D5   C5 
Could be a lot if you pretend.

Just close your eyes, she'll be there --

You'll never be alone.

The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend, 
    F5         G5 G5  C5         C5      G5 
So why don't you pretend?
