Hello Cruel World

C
Hello cruel world
        F
Are you real or just a dream?
    Em     Dm
And will I ever find some meaning
Em       G
Like the pretty folks on TV?

C
So long, my love
     Em     F
I've got to do this on my own
   Em    Dm
Submit myself to the unknown
    Em     G
I'm just a freak without a home, 
screaming

[Chorus]

Dm    Em      F
Hello cruel world!
                 Em       Dm      
I really want to live a long time,
             Em
 but if I don't
          F             Em       
I want to thank you for giving me 
Dm
some life
           Em    G
I think we can make it if we try

[Verse]

Continues after the ad
C
Hello cruel world
  Em     F
I must admit it's nice to be here
Em       Dm
But your point is rather unclear
Em G
So help me face what I fear

C
Goodbye my friend
    Em      F
But I'll be just around the bend
     Em        Dm
Yes, I'm quite sure we'll meet again
     Em   G
I'll be a freak until the end, 
screaming

[Chorus]

Dm     Em      F
"Hello cruel world!"
                 Em       Dm      
I really want to live a long time,
             Em
 but if I don't
          F             Em       
I want to thank you for giving me 
Dm
some life
           Em    G
I think we can make it if we try

[Bridge]

F  G
Yes

       F
Knock, knock
                                G
I'm banging on the door, world, let 
me in
       F
Knock, knock
                                G
I'm banging on the door, world, let 
me in, screaming

[Chorus]

Dm    Em      F
Hello cruel world!
                 Em       Dm      
I really want to live a long time,
             Em
 but if I don't
          F             Em       
I want to thank you for giving me 
Dm
some life
           Em    G
I think we can make it if we try
   Em    G
We can make it if we try
   Em    G
We can make it if we try
