Standard (EADGBE)

You and I, we're the same as each other

Can't stand to think we're the same as each other

So come over to mine and we'll drink some beer

Get on a bus and get the fuck out of here

Follow a star to a new messiah

Slit his throat for the good of the unborn,

Generations tripped the wire

Made off with our hearts desire

We've never had it so good

Never had it so good

We've never had it so good,

Life is sweet.

You're just like cinderella

On the screen in technicolor

Off the chart, you'll be going stellar

All your friends'll be queuing up to tell you

Your lips are full and moist

You could be the pepsi cola seller

"you've got such a lovely voice".

You've got such a lovely voice

We've never had it so good

Never had it so good

We've never had it so good,

Life is sweet.

And people die when towers fall

I've tried but I hardly even care at all

I've seen you angry and I've seen you cry

Life goes fitfully flitting by

And I would love to climb a barricade

Like every other boy you know

But the wars at home have been betrayed

By too many boys on barricades

We've never had it so good

Never had it so good

We've never had it so good,

Life is sweet.

So spare me a thought when you're old and you're finished

A listing wreck off greenwich village

Write me a letter that I'll never reply to

You know what I'm like better than I do

Tell me about how you sleep at night

Tell me about your consolations

Lie to me, say you still fight

Tell me death will be alright, oh

We've never had it so good

Never had it so good

We've never had it so good,

Life is sweet.

Life is sweet.
