CHORUS:
Em       C         G        D
  Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh oh
 Em              C              G       D
Blame it on the monsters in my mind, oh oh oh
 Em                C
I`ve been getting better
     G             D
At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh
 Em               C              G
What`s wrong with me when happy hurts?
D        (Em)
  Happy hurts


VERSE: (RAP)
     Em                         C
This on again, off again tempermental affection
        G                            D
For my darkened depression is making me go mad
        Em                           C
I hear there`s a fine line between crazy and sad
       G                             D
But I can`t tell the difference up close
          Em                         C
There`s a lot of us you know ill and undiagnosed
             G                        D
But I don`t need a piece of paper to tell me what I already know
Em                      C                           G
I`m not alright, for tonight, can we let that be alright?
                     D
Pick up the battle again in the morning light


PRE-CHORUS: (RAP)
    Em                            C
And I`m fighting so hard to come out of the dark
           G                           D
Trying to turn off the night, finally let in the light
           Em                     C
Trying to make my misery just a piece of my history
   G                     D
A little less victim, a little more victory


CHORUS:
Em       C         G        D
  Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh oh
 Em              C              G       D
Blame it on the monsters in my mind, oh oh oh
Em              C
I keep getting better
     G             D
At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh
 Em               C              G
What`s wrong with me when happy hurts?
(D)      Em
  Happy hurts


VERSE: (RAP)
Em                              C
Today I feel okay guess it was all just in my head
        G                    D
I just need to try harder I guess
               Em                            C
Yeah everyone else in the world seems to be doing alright
             G
Yeah, I`m alright for tonight
                D
Can we let the pain and the happy mix
            Em                   C
Can the two coexist? The beauty next to the mess
           G                              D
Because I swear I have them both already beating in my chest
    Em                       C
If that makes me crazy even numbers don`t lie
       G                               D
But I don`t call that crazy I call it being alive


PRE-CHORUS: (RAP)
    Em                            C
And I`m fighting so hard to come out of the dark
           G                           D
Trying to turn off the night, finally let in the light
           Em                     C
Trying to make my misery just a piece of my history
   G                    D
A little less victim, please


CHORUS:
Em       C         G        D
  Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh oh
 Em              C              G       D
Blame it on the monsters in my mind, oh oh oh
Em              C
I keep getting better
     G             D
At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh
 Em               C              G
What`s wrong with me when happy hurts?
D        Em   C  G  Bm     Em  C  G  D
  Happy hurts


VERSE: (RAP)
     Em                       C
If I had to pick between the way that I am
         G                        D
And the way that everybody else seems to pretend
   Em                           C
I wouldn`t consider it, not for even a second
         G                       D
Between psycho and sanity, it`s not even a question
             Em                      C
My favorite parts of myself seem to make the least sense,
          G                          D
All the cracks in my skin they just let the light in
             Em              C
My favorite parts of myself make the least sense
          G                D
All the cracks in my skin let the light in


CHORUS:
Em       C         G        D
  Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh oh
Em                C                G   D
All I want`s the one thing I can`t fi-ind
Em              C
I keep getting better
     G             D
At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh
 Em               C              G   D     Em  C
What`s wrong with me when happy hur-urts?

 G                    D          Em   C  G  D
What`s wrong with me when happy hurts?


OUTRO:
Em              C
I keep getting better
     G             D
At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh
 Em               C              G    D
What`s wrong with me when happy hurts?
 D     Em   C  G  D
Happy hurts
