A                             C#m
That's the problem, dear, with angry people, they

D               E
Try to go it alone

A                     C#m
Digging in and making cranky feeble pleas that

D               E
Other angries disown

A                     C#m
Angry people think a good solution is

D                  E
Getting others involved

A                                C#m
So they surround themselves with happy people

D                           E
And watch their smiles dissolve
[Chorus]
        Bm            E
We just drag them down

        Bm            E
We just drag them down

We just drag them down

Until they're just like us.

Angry people get so sanctimonious

D                  E
Telling us what to do

A                       C#m
Hoping no one outs them all as phonies just

D                        E
Cause we are all phonies too.

A                        C#m
Those of us who once had wives and families

D                 E
Understand what I mean

A                        C#m
What was once a calm and peaceful refuge

D               E
Is overtaken by spleen
[Chorus]

Cause we just drag them down

A                       C#m
In a square, a thousand angry people are

D                    E
Waving signs in the air

A                     C#m
While a million other happy people are

D                   E
Trying hard not to care.

A                      C#m
All the happy people's biggest problem is

D                 E
Never fearing the worst

Your happy bubbles are burst
