Miserablism

Intro
F Em F G Am

Verse 1
F                                Em
It seems to me there's something serious beginning
F                           Em               Am
A new approach found to the meaning of life
F                      Em
Deny that happiness is open as an option
F                             Em
And disappointment disappears overnight

Verse 2
         Em
Say that love
      Em         Am
Is an impossible dream
         F
Face the facts
                 Em     Am
That's what it's always been
F
Relax
Em
What you see is what you see
             F
And what you get
         Em    Am    F
Is a new philosophy
 Em                  F
(That's what you got
 Em                  F
 That's what you get)

F         G
 Is is and isn't isn't
C           Dm
Miserablism
F         G
 Is is and isn't isn't

Verse 3
F
Meanwhile your life
         Em
Is still directed as a drama
Em
With realism
       Em          Am
On the sparsest of sets
F
Every performance
                        Em         Am
Tends to reach the same conclusion
F
No happy endings
      Em         Am
But a message to depress

Verse 4
F
Saying life
       Em        Am
Is an impossible Scheme
Am         F
That's the point
        Em    Am
Of this philosophy

Chorus
C           Dm
Miserablism
F         G
 Is is and isn't isn't
C           Dm
Miserablism
F         G
 Is is and isn't isn't

Bridge
Em
But if 'is' wasn't
F
And 'isn't' were
             Dm
You can't be sure
        A#         G     F    E F Em F E F E
But you might find ecstasy

C Dm F G
C Dm F G

Verse 5
F
Just for the sake of it
     Em
Make sure you're always frowning
F
It shows the world
                Em            Am     F
That you've got substance and depth

Verse 6
F
You know life
      Em         Am
Is an impossible scheme
    F
And love
   Em            Am
An imperceptible dream
