Verse
E
Hello cruel world
A
Are you real or just a dream?
G#m F#m
And will I ever find some meaning
G#m B
Like the pretty folks on TV?
E
So long, my love
G#m A
I've got to do this on my own
G#m F#m
Submit myself to the unknown
G#m B
I'm just a freak without a home, screaming
[Chorus]
F#m G#m A
Hello cruel world!
G#m F#m G#m
I really want to live a long time, but if I don't
A G#m F#m
I want to thank you for giving me some life
G#m B
I think we can make it if we try
[Verse]
E
Hello cruel world
G#m A
I must admit it's nice to be here
G#m F#m
But your point is rather unclear
G#m B
So help me face what I fear
E
Goodbye my friend
G#m A
But I'll be just around the bend
G#m F#m
Yes, I'm quite sure we'll meet again
G#m B
I'll be a freak until the end, screaming
[Chorus]
F#m G#m A
"Hello cruel world!"
G#m F#m G#m
I really want to live a long time, but if I don't
A G#m F#m
I want to thank you for giving me some life
G#m B
I think we can make it if we try
[Bridge]
A B
Yes
A
Knock, knock

I'm banging on the door, world, let me in
A
Knock, knock
B
I'm banging on the door, world, let me in, screaming
[Chorus]
F#m G#m A
Hello cruel world!
G#m F#m G#m
I really want to live a long time, but if I don't
A G#m F#m
I want to thank you for giving me some life

We can make it if we try

We can make it if we try
