Happy people don't cheat

Happy people don't lie

They don't judge, or hold a grudge,or don't criticize

              D
Cause all the hurt sure
D                                G
ain't worth all the guilt they feel

Chorus:
                     C
If you want to know the secret
C                    G
Can't buy it, gotta make it
G                   C
You ain't ever gonna be it
C                        G
By takin' someone else's away
G                   C
Never take it for granted
C                         G
You don't have to understand it
            Em
Here's to whatever
              D           C
what puts a smile on your face
C   stop:                G
Whatever makes you happy, people


Verse 2:
                    G
Happy people don't fail
                   C
Happy people just learn
                        D
Don't think that they're above the push and shove
 D                 G
They just wait their turn
                   G                     C
They always got a hand, or a dollar to spare
                  D
Know the golden rule or what you're goin' through
D             G
Even if they never been there

Chorus:
                     C
If you want to know the secret
C                    G
Can't buy it, gotta make it
G                   C
You ain't ever gonna be it
C                        G
By takin' someone else's away
G                   C
Never take it for granted
C                         G
You don't have to understand it
            Em
Here's to whatever
              D           C
what puts a smile on your face
C   stop:               G
Whatever makes you happy, people


G       Em     D      C     G       Em     D      C

Bridge:
       Em               D       C
These days ain't always easy to find
            Em                  D               C
They're the ones that you want standing by your side
           Em
No time for greed,
          D                    C
if they need some, give them a slice
C    Stop:            G
And we'll all be happy people

Outro:
               G
Well life is short
              C
And love is rare
      Strum:           Strum:           Strum:
       D                 D                 G
And we all deserve to be happy while we're here.
