The World is a Wonderful Place

Intro: Fm F#m Fm F#m

Fm F#m
Lovers pair off and they fall into bed
Fm F#m C#m
The same old lies trip off the tongue
G#m A D Bm
A few lonely hearts stand and prop up the room
Gm C Gm C
The night is young

Fm F#m
Envy the bodies asleep on the floor
Fm F#m C#m
Dreaming some comfortable dream
G#m A D Bm
And envy the drunk as he falls through the door
C#m F#m A
For the world is drunk I see

Chorus:
C#m G#m
You live and you die, there's no reason why
F#m B C#m
The world is a wonderful place
G#m
The poor live in pain, they're sick and insane
F#m B A
Ah, the world is a wonderful place
B C#m
How does it feel to be nothing
B A
How does it feel to be small
C#m G#m
Oh hard on that pine, it's the end of the line
F#m B C#m Intro
Ah, the world is a wonderful place

Another year older and nothing to show
Is this what I grew up to be?
Oh you birthday boy here's a pat on the back
You’re a sight to see

Am I just a clown like the fools gathered here
Am I nothing special at all
If this is called living, IUm folding my hand
I’m sick of the same brick wall

Chorus
