[Intro]
Cadd9, D

[Verse 1]
G         D                  Cadd9        D
Everybody knows that happy is the new sad
   G          D             Cadd9
So I am gonna go and imitate my old dad
    D                          G  D  Cadd9  D
And never crack a smile again.

[Verse 2]
Everybody knows that as we all get older
The will is first to go and so upon my shoulder
The bluebird shall not sing again.

[Instrumental]
G, D, Em7, Cadd9, Em7, Cadd9, D

[Verse 3]
Everybody knows that as our hair gets greyer
We strike a bended pose and say a little prayer
To never feel this way again.

[Verse 4]
Everybody knows it's never getting better
Everything must go and you will have to let her
And never see her face again.

[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
Everybody's youth is only what they make it
Longer in the tooth, so why do people fake it?
We'll never get it back again.

[Instrumental]

[Coda]
Cadd9     D
I know it hurts
G                Em7
No one wants to die.
Cadd9    D
Goodbye.
(D)
Goodbye.

[Instrumental]
Cadd9, D, G, Em7, Cadd9

(Cadd9)  D
Goodbye.
(D)  G
Goodbye.
