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
