Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

Everybody knows that happy is the new sad

 So I am gonna go and imitate my old dad

 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

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

I know it hurts

No one wants to die.

Goodbye.

 Goodbye.

Instrumental

 Goodbye.

 Goodbye.
