C majorC G+G A minorAm C/BC/B C majorC



🎸 Verse 1:
    C majorC     G+G      A minorAm    C/BC/B  C majorC
Well
I've been pacin' this room for forty hours
  C majorC      G+G     A minorAm C/BC/B  C majorC
Crawlin' up the wall and tryin' not to call
  C majorC      G+G      A minorAm  C/BC/B  C majorC
And I saw you walking in a supermarket aisle
  C majorC       G+G       A minorAm    C/BC/B  C majorC
I didn't say a word 'cause you had the biggest smile

🎸 Verse 2:
   C majorC     G+G      A minorAm     C/BC/B  C majorC
And I've been thinkin' of you in the morning times
   C majorC       G+G      A minorAm    C/BC/B     C majorC
You woke me up so soft that I forgot the world ain't kind
  C majorC   G+G      A minorAm    C/BC/B    C majorC
I pull you in and you kissed me through a grin
   C majorC      G+G           A minorAm C/BC/B  C majorC
And you say you missed me when you were busy sleepin'

🎸 Chorus:
         FF       C majorC
But what if I'd said happy instead
    G+G             A minorAm
Is the way that I reckon it should be
      FF          C majorC
And if you called you'd say that you're okay
   G+G          A minorAm
And I'd be wishin' I was there
           FF   C majorC
'Cause you're happy instead
    G+G  A minorAm
Happy instead


🎸 Verse 3:
   C majorC     G+G        A minorAm   C/BC/B   C majorC
And I've been dreamin' of the life we would have had
 C majorC     G+G    A minorAm C/BC/B   C majorC
Happy at times but mostly just mad
 C majorC      G+G    A minorAm  C/BC/B   C majorC
Maybe it'd worked out, maybe it'd be fine
   C majorC       G+G          A minorAm   C/BC/B   C majorC
But every day your smile ain't showin', seems a waste of time

🎸 Chorus:
         FF       C majorC
But what if I'd said happy instead
    G+G             A minorAm
Is the way that I reckon it should be
      FF          C majorC
And if you called you'd say that you're okay
   G+G          A minorAm
And I'd be wishin' I was there
           FF   C majorC
'Cause you're happy instead
    G+G  A minorAm
Happy instead


🎸 Verse 4:
 C majorC     G+G      A minorAm   C/BC/B   C majorC
It's been ten years
I hadn't called you once
   C majorC        G+G      A minorAm  C/BC/B   C majorC
When you called last night and my child up and jumped
   C majorC      G+G    A minorAm C/BC/B   C majorC
He asked who you were and you did the same
 C majorC       G+G     A minorAm     C/BC/B    C majorC
Handed me the phone and I couldn't recall your name


🎸 Chorus:
         FF       C majorC
But what if I'd said happy instead
    G+G             A minorAm
Is the way that I reckon I should be
      FF           C majorC
And if you called you'd hear that I'm okay
   G+G            A minorAm
And you'd be wishin' you was there
           FF   C majorC
'Cause I'm happy instead
    G+G  A minorAm
Happy instead
        FF   C majorC
Oh
I'm happy instead
    G+G   A minorAm
Happy instead

🎸 Outro:
    FF          C majorC
What if I'd said happy instead
    G+G             A minorAm
Is the way that I reckon I should be
      FF           C majorC
And if you called you'd hear that I'm okay
   G+G            A minorAm
And you'd be wishin' you was dead
         FF   C majorC  G+G A minorAm
'Cause I'm happy instead
