[Intro]
A Em G D
A Em G D

[Verse 1]
               A
We can't sanitize our history
        Em
Just because it's not what we want it to be
G
England was built on sorrow and pain
D
Slavery and ill-gotten gain

[Verse 2]
       A
We gotta look around and recognize
Em
Who we are now, how far we've come
G
Recognize those who deserve it
        D
And live with those who don't

[Verse 3]
      A
So wash your hands and sing happy birthday
          Em
Hand gel won't sanitize your sins
               G
So much we enjoy are built on broken backs
               D
We can't turn away and paper over the cracks

[Chorus]
A
Before you get deluded
               Em
Read the small print of life
G
Happiness not included
D
Happiness not included

[Interlude]
D A Em G D

[Verse 4]
       A
No one's gonna save us, I've come to set us free
                      Em
When they're piling up their bodies and they're pointing at me
                      G
And you told me last night that I didn't have to fear
            D
That if that is the case, just what the fuck we're doing here

[Verse 5]
A
Staring at the dark, taking stock of our lives
                Em
Troopers stealing control, even sharpening our knives
G
Getting up and ready when it all comes down
        D
Get ready to duck so hit the ground

[Bridge]
          A
Look around now
         Em
Look around now
         G
Look around now
         D
Look around now

[Verse 5]
A
Everything and it's seen as offensive
Em
That's why we're always on the defensive
        G
Our social media makes us slaves, like
D
Children we have to be told to behave

[Verse 6]
       A
We only see in black and white
Em
Retching up the drama for the thrill of the fight
              G
And we kill, kill, kill in the rush of the game
         D
Shooting all the soldiers again and again

[Chorus]
A
Before you get deluded
                Em
Read the small print of life (look around now)
G
Happiness not included (look around now)
D
Happiness not included (look around now)

[Verse 7]
A
Times are moved in shifting sands
        Em
The future's in another lunatic's hands
       G
It's turning on my TV again
              D
They're watching all the people in pain

[Verse 8]
A
News is like crack cocaine
          Em
Everybody getting high again and again
   G
I don't wanna know about the politician talks
   D
I don't even know just how the magic works

[Bridge]
          A
Look around now
         Em
Look around now
         G
Look around now
         D
Look around now

[Verse 9]
                    A
So put your grief in a tweet with the crying emoji
             Em
And so many words with nothing to say
        G
And don't look at me you Hollywood whores
                     D
When you're back there sweeping the restaurant floors

[Chorus]
A
Before you get deluded
                Em
Read the small print of life
G
Happiness not included
D
Happiness not included
A
Before you get deluded
                Em
Read the small print of life
G
Happiness not included
D
Happiness not included
           A
Look around

[Outro]
A Em G D A
