[Verse 1]
D
Joy is over there in her incredible clothes
         Gmaj7
She has silver silk shimmering down to her toes
      D
I was doing the best that I can I suppose
         Gmaj7
But that little girl dancer eventually grows
      E    (riff)  G   A
She grows

[Verse 2]
D
You can’t imagine all the times that I tried
     Gmaj7
To uncover the source of the tears that you cried
       D
“Let’s throw it away and just go for a ride”
    Gmaj7
And you’d say “ok” but you’d keep it inside

       E  (riff)
And I tried
   G
I tried
   E (riff)
I tried
   G      A
I tried

[Chorus]
G                      D
  We want you to be happy
      A
Don't live inside the gloom
G                      D
  We want you to be happy
     A
Come step outside your room
G                   F#m
  We want you to be happy
                       A        D
Cause this is your song too

[Verse 3]
D
I never thought I could have it so good
Gmaj7
You were the song that my soul understood
    D
But time is a river that flows through the woods
       Gmaj7
And it led us to places we both understood

          E  (riff)
Would be gone
           G
Before too long
         E   (riff)
Would be gone
          G      A
Before too long

[Verse 4]
D
When we were young we thought life was a game
         Gmaj7
But then somebody leaves you and you’re never the same
D                                          Gmaj7
All of the places and people belong to the puzzle

But one of the pieces is gone

         E   (riff)
And it’s you
     G
It’s you
      E   (riff)
It’s you
          G     A
Joy, it’s you

[Chorus]
G                      D
  We want you to be happy
      A
Don't live inside the gloom
G                      D
  We want you to be happy
     A
Come step outside your room
G                      F#m
  We want you to be happy
                       A
Cause this is your song too

[Solo]
| Em  C   | G   D   | A       |
| Em  C   | G   D   | A       |

[Bridge]
Em               C              G
   In time we’ll weather this storm
         D/F#             A
Inside together you’ll see the change
         C   G      A
When the sun shines through

[Chorus]
G           D          A
  We want you to be happy

Don't live inside the gloom
G           D          A
  We want you to be happy

Come step outside your room
G                   F#m
  We want you to be happy
                       A
Cause this is your song too

[Outro]
G      D          A
          This is your song too
G      D          A
          This is your song too
G      D          A
          This is your song too
                G      D
This is your song too
        A
This is your song too
