Verse:
         A                         E
I don't want to write another sad song
          F#m
Yet every time I write a happy one it just feels wrong
        A                         E
I don't want to sing another sad tune
           F#m
But when I plant a happy flower, I swear it never blooms
            A               E
I tried to laugh the other day
                   F#m
But my mouth quickly shut and the sound couldn't escape
            A                    E
I tried to force my face into a smile
                       F#m
But my skin cracked, my muscles ached, because it's been a while
         A                             E
Since I let myself stop and smell the roses
           F#m
I've been hunched over, head down, holding broken poses
        A                   E
I can't look you in the eyes
                      F#m
Because I took a bit too long but now I've realized

Chorus:
             A
I'm feeling happy now
           E
I haven't felt this in years
        F#m
Because every good painting got ruined with my tears
             A
I'm feeling happy now
      E
This emotion is so strange
       F#m
I could only write sadness, but I turned another page
             A
I'm feeling happy now
      E
God, this is so weird
             F#m
I thought I wouldn't be happy until I'm old with a beard
             A        E
I'm feeling happy now
            F#m
I'm feeling happy now

Verse:
                A                    E
It's like I'm floating high in space
                          F#m
But there's a crack in my suit and I couldn't find a place
              A
That I could fit in
            E                             F#m
Because I didn't know how to feel joy, depression is all that I've written
             A
I'm in the clouds now
         E                            F#m
Well, not quite, the thunder is still loud now
            A                E                 F#m
I pull my blanket over my head and take a few deep breaths
                                              E                  F#m
Cause I'm not ready for the day that's coming next, that's coming next

Bridge:
       F#m
And at night when it's quiet and my brain doesn't have distractions
         E
Well, my mind turns worse, my heart sinks, it breaks to fragments
F#m
Maybe I'm not doing quite as well as I think
           E
The happy feeling is gone before I can blink
      F#m
And I curl in the corner of my bed
               E
I'll cover my ears but I still hear inside my head
                F#m
A voice telling me that I'm going to die alone
                        E
That I'm wasting all my time and I'm better off on my own
              F#m
Cut off your friends

They don't really even like you
          E
They spend time with you because they pity and they spite you
F#m                                         E
Tears flood my face, I guess I'll never be okay
F#m E

Pre-chorus
                      F#m
I thought that I was better, I guess maybe I'm not
                       E
But I'm doing so much better than I was last month

So I'll just say

Chorus:
             A
I'm feeling happy now
           E
I haven't felt this in years
         F#m
Because every good painting got ruined with my tears
             A
I'm feeling happy now
      E
This emotion is so strange
        F#m
I could only write sadness, but now I've turned another page
            A
I'm feeling happy now
         E
This is so damn weird
             F#m
I thought I wouldn't be happy until I'm old with a beard
                 A        E
But I'm feeling happy now
                F#m
Oh, I'm feeling happy now
E A
