Intro: Fm F#m Fm F#m Fm F#m Lovers pair off and they fall into bed F#m B C#m C#m/B The same old lies trip off the tongue G#m A D Bm A few lonely hearts stand and prop up the room G C the night is young Envy the bodies asleep on the floor Dreaming some comfortable dream And envy the drunk as he falls through the door For the world is drunk I see Chorus C#m You live and you die B there's no reason why A G#m C#m The world is a wonderful place C#m The poor live in pain B They're sick and insane A G#m C#m Ah, the world is a wonderful place Bridge 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 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 YouUre 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 IUm sick of the same brick wall Chorus Bridge
