Everybody Loves A Happy Ending

Em   A   Em   A   Em   A  C  G
Em   A   Em         A
            Tow the line, tow the line.
Em   A   C   G   F  Em (A)


[Verse 1]
A              Dm             A
  Wake up your time is nearly over
   Dm            A
No more the supernova
   Dm           A    F
No action guaranteed


[Verse 2]
A              Dm        A
Wake up you've had an operation
 Dm               A
Ideals above your station
    Dm        F G
Too much reality


[Chorus]
Em                     Dm
Think about the wasted time spending
A                        G
Watching Mother Nature's knees bending
Em                Dm           F G (A)
Everybody loves a happy ending


[Verse 3]
A              Dm           A
Wake up you're on your own agenda
     Dm              A
Give up the great pretender
     Dm           A    Dm
With baby eyes of green


[Verse 4]
A              Dm            A
Wake up you're holding on to nothing
    Dm               A
You know you're only bluffing
   Dm             F      G
As dead as autumn leaves


[Chorus]
Em                     Dm
Think about the wasted time spending
A                        G
Watching Mother Nature's knees bending
Em                Dm
Everybody loves a happy ending


[Verse 5]
F              G
Don't you just love a happy ending?
F            G
Oh yeah well so do I
    F                  G             A
And all your love will shine on everyone


[Verse 6]
    Em
The darkness of the day
  A
A curse in every way
    Em
You try to see the light
                   A
But you don't know why, don’t know why


[Verse 7]
     Em
They tell you on the phone
   A
To give your God a bone
    C      G      C                  G
And grow a set of wings like a butterfly


[Verse 8]
    Em
The guardian at the gate
  A
Reminds you that you're late
    Em
You try to take your time
                A
But you tow the line, tow the line.


[Verse 9]
   Em
To children of the world
    A
And daddy's little girl
    C        G      C                  G
The grass is always green on the other side
   F        Em          A
So stay and breathe new life

Wake up
Bm       C#m
Wake up, wake up
     Bm              C#m             Bm
Everything is moving faster than you think
            C#m            Bm
Your pen is running out of ink
             C#m              Bm
Fill up your bath and kitchen sink
               C#m          Bm
They're really kicking up a stink
          C#m               Bm
You never found the missing link
              C#m          Bm
You should be happy in the pink
            C#m             Bm
You're in demand but out of sync
         C#m          Bm
A nod is as good as a wink
             C#m                 Bm
Once more my dear friends to the brink
G                  A             E
All your love will shine on everyone
