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
Pull hard on that wine, 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
