[C] [G] [Am] [C]
[G] [Am] [C]
I've [G] been pacing [F] this [G] room for [C] 40 hours, crawling [G] up the walls [Am] and [G] trying [C] not to call.
And I saw you [G] walking [C] in a supermarket aisle.
I didn't say a [G] word, cause [C] you had the biggest smile.
And I've [G] been [C] thinking of you [G] in the morning [C] time.
You woke me up [G] so soft I [F] forgot [G] the [C] world ain't kind.
I pull [G] you in and [Am] you kiss [C] me through a grin.
You [G] say you miss me when [Am] you were [G] busy [C] sleeping.
But what if [F] I said, happy [C] instead is [G] the way that I reckon [Am] it should be.
And [F] if you call you'd say [C] that you're okay.
[G] And I'd be wishing [Am] I was there, cause you're [F] happy instead.
[C] [G]
[Am] Happy instead.
[C] And I've been [G]
[Am] dreaming of the life [G] we would've [C] had.
[G] Happy at times, [C] but mostly just mad.
Maybe [G] it would've worked out, [Am] maybe [C] it'd have been fine.
But [G] everyday your smile ain't [C] showing, it seems a waste of time.
So what if [F] I said, [C] happy instead is [G] the way that I reckon [Am] it should be.
And if [C] you call [F] you'd say [C] that you're okay.
[G] And I'd be wishing [Am] I was there, cause you're [Fm] happy [C] instead.
[G] [Am]
Happy instead.
[C] And it's been ten years, I haven't called you once.
But you [G] called last night and [Am] my [Bm] child [C] up and jumped.
He asked [G] who you were [A] and [G] you [C] did the same.
Handed [G] me the phone [Am] and I couldn't recall your [C] name.
What if [F] I said, happy [C] instead is [G] the way that I reckon [Am] I should be.
And [F] if you call you'd [C] hear that I was okay.
[G] And you'd be wishing you [Am] was there, cause I'm [C] happy [F] instead.
[C] Happy [G] instead.
[Em]
[Am] Oh I'm happy [F] instead.
[C] Happy [G] instead.
