[Eb] [Ab]
Let's stop pretending the whole world is happy and the wrong things we're doing are [Eb] right.
Old faded blue jeans with a patch on the pocket won't wipe out what keeps us [Ab] uptight.
This song I'm singing won't be worth my time if you don't understand what [Db] I mean.
Let's stop [Bb] pretending [Ab] that poor [Fm] cats don't smell [Cm] and [Eb] dirty old hat [Db] bands are [Ab] clean.
