Happy Instead

C G Am C/B C


[Verse 1]
       C         G           Am  
Well, I've been pacin' this room 
     C/B    C
for forty hours
    C            G          Am  
Crawlin' up the wall and tryin' 
C/B    C
not to call
    C           G        
And I saw you walking in a 
    Am   C/B    C
supermarket aisle
   C             G             Am
I didn't say a word 'cause you 
       C/B    C
had the biggest smile

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


[Chorus]
                 F              C
But what if I'd said happy instead
        G                          
Is the way that I reckon it should 
Am
be
            F                   
And if you called you'd say that 
 C
you're okay
     G                    Am
And I'd be wishin' I was there
                      F     C
'Cause you're happy instead

Happy instead


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


[Chorus]
                 F              C
But what if I'd said happy instead
        G                          
Is the way that I reckon it should 
Am
be
            F                   
And if you called you'd say that 
 C
you're okay
     G                    Am
And I'd be wishin' I was there
                      F     C
'Cause you're happy instead
        G    Am
Happy instead


[Verse 4]
 C         G            Am      
It's been ten years, I hadn't 
C/B      C
called you once
     C                G         
When you called last night and my 
   Am   C/B     C
child up and jumped
     C            G        Am 
He asked who you were and you 
C/B     C
did the same
  C             G          Am    
Handed me the phone and I 
     C/B       C
couldn't recall your name


[Chorus]
                 F              C
But what if I'd said happy instead
        G                          
Is the way that I reckon I should 
Am
be
            F                     
And if you called you'd hear that 
C
I'm okay
     G                       Am
And you'd be wishin' you was there
                      F     C
'Cause I'm happy instead
        G    Am
Happy instead
               F      C
Oh, I'm happy instead
       G      Am
Happy instead

        F                   C
What if I'd said happy instead
       G                          Am
Is the way that I reckon I should be
            F                    
And if you called you'd hear that 
  C
I'm okay
     G                        Am
And you'd be wishin' you was dead
                  F      C   G  Am
'Cause I'm happy instead
