Bb Eb
Yesterday it was my birthday
Bb F7
I hung one more year on the line
Bb
I should be depressed
Eb Edim
My life's a mess
Bb/F F
But I'm having a good time
Bb Eb9
Oo, I've been loving and loving and loving
Bb F7
I'm exhausted from loving so well
Bb
I should go to bed
Eb9 Edim
But a voice in my head
Bb/F F
Says "Ah, what the hell"
Bb
Have a good time
Eb Bb
Have a good time
F Bb
Have a good time
Eb Bb
Have a good time
F Bb Eb
Paranoia strikes deep in the heartland
Bb F7
But I think it's all overdone
Bb Eb Edim
Exaggerating this and exaggerating that
Bb/F F
They don't have no fun
Bb Eb9
I don't believe what I read in the papers
Bb F7
They're just out to capture my dime
Bb
I ain't worrying
Eb9 Edim
And I ain't scurrying;
Bb/F F
I'm having a good time
Bb
Have a good time
Eb Bb
Have a good time
F Bb
Have a good time
Eb Bb
Have a good time
F Bb Eb
Maybe I'm laughing my way to disaster
Bb F7
Maybe my race has been run
Bb Eb Edim
Maybe I'm blind to the fate of mankind
Bb/F F
But what can be done?
Bb Eb9
So God bless the goods we was given
Bb F7
And God bless the U. S. of A.
Bb Eb9 Edim
And God bless our standard of livin'
Bb/F F
Let's keep it that way
Bb
And we'll all have a good time
Repeat and fade:
Eb9 Bb
Have a good time
F7 Bb
Have a good time
Eb9 Bb
Have a good time
F Bb
Have a good time
