Verse 1 - We Were Happy:

F          C              Bb
We used to walk along the streets
                                   F
When the porch lights were shining bright
         C                Bb
Before I had somewhere to be
                     F    C
Back when we had all night
            Bb
And we were happy
F    C             Bb
I do recall a good while back
                  F
We snuck into the circus
               C              Bb
You threw your arms around my neck
                     F   C
Back when I deserved it
            Bb
And we were happy

Chorus:

F
When it was good, baby
C
It was good, baby
Dm
We showed 'em all up
Bb
No one could touch the way we
F
Laughed in the dark
C
Talking 'bout your daddy's farm
Dm                Bb
We were gonna buy someday
       F          Bb
And we were happy

Verse 2 - Happiness:

                       F
Tell me, when did your winning smile
Gm7      F
Begin to look like a smirk
Bb       F
When did all our lessons
         Gm7                       F             Bb
Start to look like weapons pointed at my deepest hurt
F                            Gm7
I hope she'll be a beautiful fool
    F                     Bb
Who takes my spot next to you
Bb
No, I didn't mean that
         Gm7                         F
Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury
    Bb                  F      Gm7   F
You haven't met the new me yet

Chorus:
Bb                    F
There'll be happiness after me
Gm7                     F
But there was happiness because of me
Bb                   F
Both of these things I believe
         Gm7       F
There is happiness
       Bb
In our history
F                Gm7    F
Across our great divide
                    Bb     F
There is a glorious sunrise
                 Gm7                        F
Dappled with the flickers of light from the dress I wore at midnight
Bb                 F
Leave it all behind
                      Gm7
And there is happiness

Bridge - We Were Happy:

Dm         Bb
Oh, I hate those voices
F
Telling me I'm not in love anymore
Dm             Bb
But they don't give me choices
    F                           C
And that's what these tears are for
       F       C
'Cause we were happy
        Bb
We were happy

Bridge - Happiness:

Cm  Bb            Eb      F
  I can't make it go away by making you a villain
Cm  Bb             Eb               F
  I guess it's the price I paid for seven years in heaven
Gm7           Bb                   F
I pulled your body into mine every goddamn night
                        Gm7
Now I get fake niceties
           Bb                    F
No one teaches what to do when a good man hurts you
F
And you know you hurt him, too

Chorus - We were happy:

        Bb
We were happy
F       C
We were happy
F
When it was good, baby
C
It was good, baby
Dm
We showed 'em all up
Bb                            F
No one could touch the way we laughed in the dark
C
Talking 'bout your daddy's farm
Dm                       Bb
And you were gonna marry me
       F
And we were happy

Chorus - Happiness:

Bb                    F
There'll be happiness after you
Gm7                     F
But there was happiness because of you, too

Both of these things can be true

There is happiness

And there is happiness
       Bb
In our history
F       Bb
We were happy
