Cm
Am I very wrong
   Fm                            G            Cm
To hide behind the glare from an open minded stare
           Cm
Am I very wrong
   Fm7                      G            Cm
To wander in the fear of a never ending lie

Am I very wrong
To try to close my ears
to the sound they play so loud?
Am I very wrong
The happiness machine
is trying hard to sing my song

Chorus:
C             D7              C              Am   Am/G
Today's your birthday friend, everything all right
D7          Fm               C
Let us our greetings to you send
D7            C              Am   Am/G
Happy friend, everything all right
D7           Fm              C
We hope your life will never end

Am I very wrong
To want to steal a pin then
I'll check that I have skin
Am I very wrong
To want to leave my friends and
the curse of the happiness machine

Chorus
