[Verse 1]
Eb Ab Bb Bb7
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water
F7 Bb Eb Ab
Hundreds of bloodthirsty nightmares have made you their prey
G7 Cm Bb Eb
You felt good and plucky, as nice as can be
G7 Cm Fm7 Bb
But no one's that lucky, so listen to me
[Chorus]
Eb F7 Ab7 Cm7
When life is not so nice, remember this advice:
Adim Ab G Cm
Put a drop of vanilla behind each ear
B Bb Eb
And you'll smell like a cookie all day
F7 B Bb Eb Bb Eb
Yes, you'll smell like a cookie all day
[Verse 2]
Eb Ab Bb Bb7
I used to feel like my world was a bucket of sorrow;
F7 Bb Eb Ab
A mountain of sadness, a miserable wilted bouquet
G7 Cm Bb Eb
A big rotten pumpkin, I wished I were dead
G7 Cm Fm7 Bb
And I'd almost jumped when it popped in my head
[Chorus]
Eb F7 Ab7 Cm7
The key to happiness is merely only this:
Adim Ab G Cm
Put a drop of vanilla behind each ear
B Bb Eb
And you'll smell like a cookie all day
F7 B Bb Eb Bb Eb
Yes, you'll smell like a cookie all day

Eb Ab Gm Cm Ab Gm F
We wander aimlessly for God knows how many miles and then we die
Eb Ab Gm Cm Ab Gm Bb
So very clueless to the truth, so very blind, unsatisfied
Eb Ab Gm Cm Ab Gm B
If only the human race would wake the hell up and finally understand
Cm Gm Ab Eb
Exactly what it needs to do to meet the spirit's silent demand
[Verse 4]
Eb Ab Gm Cm Ab Gm (x2)
Eb Ab Gm Cm Ab Gm F
They say it's human nature, wars will be fought and innocents will be killed
Eb Ab Gm Cm Ab Gm Bb
And every soul we lose is yet another mission unfulfilled
Eb Ab Gm Cm Ab Gm B
Meanwhile it seems like I'm the only living person who knows
Cm Gm Ab Eb
Exactly how the story goes, the answer's right in front of our nose
[Chorus]
Eb F7 Ab7 Cm7
My friend, humanity, stop this insanity
Adim Ab G Cm
Put a drop of vanilla behind each ear
B Bb Eb
And you'll smell like a cookie all day
F7 B Bb Eb Bb Eb
Yes, you'll smell like a cookie all day
