Look what we've got, a fairy-tale plot

Our very own happy ending

Where we couldn't be happier
true, dear?

Couldn't be happier
Fmaj7 F6 C Csus4 G F E Am

He couldn't look handsomer

That's why I couldn't be happier
C C/B Fmaj7
No, I couldn't be happier
C Csus4 G C
Though it is, I admit, the tiniest bit

Unlike I anticipated
G7 G C C/B Fmaj7
But I couldn't be happier
Fmaj7 F6 C C/B Fmaj7
Simply couldn't be happier
C Csus4 G C
Well, not simply, 'cause getting your dreams, is strange, but it seems
F G
A little, well, complicated
G Em F Gsus4
There's a kind of a sort of cost
G Em F Gsus4
There's a couple of things get lost
G Em F
There are bridges you cross you didn't know
Dm Gsus4 G
you crossed until you've crossed
C C/B F
And if that joy, that thrill
Fmaj7 F6 C C/B F
Doesn't thrill like you think it will
Fmaj7 F6 C Csus4 G Dm
Still, with this perfect finale, the cheers and the ballyhoo
Em Am7 F
Who wouldn't be happier?
Dm F
So I couldn't be happier
Em F Dm F C E Am
Because happy is what happens when all your dreams come true
Em
Well, isn't it?
F Dm F G C
Happy is what happens when your dreams come true
