[Primeira Parte]

 Am                           C
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
                  F                                
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
                  Am
When the morning comes
                         C
When we see what we've become
                                  F
In the cold light of day we're a flame in the wind
Not the fire that we've begun
          Am                          C
Every argument, every word we can't take back

'Cause with the all that has happened
    F
I think that we both know the way that the story ends

[Refrão]

     Am              C
Then only for a minute
                     F
I want to change my mind

'Cause this just don't feel right to me
    Am                      C
  I want to raise your spirits
                    F
I want to see you smile but

Know that means I'll have to leave

Am  C  F  Am 
             Know that means I'll have to leave                         
 Am                          C
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
                  F                       
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

                 Am
When the evening falls
                           C
And I'm left there with my thoughts
                            F
And the image of you being with someone else

Well, that's eating me up inside
               Am                          C
But we run our course, we pretended we're okay
                            F
Now if we jump together at least we can swim

Far away from the wreck we made

I want to see you smile but

Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
                  F                       
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

         F       C
So I'll go, I'll go
        G      Am
I will go, go, go
         F       C
So I'll go, I'll go

I will go, go, go

Even though I might not like this

I think that you'll be happier, I want you to be happier
