  G
Fling you out into orbit
                             C  F C
No one's going to hear you shout
     G
And fools aren't going to follow
                            C  F C
You don't send the sleaze about

Chorus:
                F   C   G
    Now you're sad sad sad
     F   C   G
    Sad sad sad
     F   C   G
    Sad sad sad
                         C   F C
    But you're gonna be fine

The elephant's in the bedroom
Throwing all his weight about
And I'm locked up in the bathroom
You're screams are gonna drown me out

Chorus:
    Now you're sad sad sad
    Sad sad sad
    Sad sad sad
    But you're gonna be fine

F  C
      I got a cold chill
F  C
      I get a cool thrill
               D#
      Are you ready for the gilded cage
               F
      Are you ready for the tears of rage
       A#            D#                      C
      Come on baby, don't let them drown you out

Chorus:
     Now you're sad sad sad
     Sad sad sad
     Sad sad sad
     But you're gonna be fine

C  F  ...
You're gonna be fine
You're gonna be fine
You're gonna be fine
You're gonna be fine
