[Intro]
C5 , D5

[Verse 1]
G5         D5                  C5        D5
Everybody knows that happy is the new sad
   G5          D5             C5
So I am gonna go and imitate my old dad
    D5                          G5  D5  C5  D5
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]
G5 , D5 , E5 , C5 , E5 , C5 , D5

[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]
C5     D5
I know it hurts
G5                E5
No one wants to die.
C5    D5
Goodbye.
( D5 )
Goodbye.

[Instrumental]
C5 , D5 , G5 , E5 , C5

( C5 )  D5
Goodbye.
( D5 )  G5
Goodbye.
