You took the spices from the rack [C] You [G] never paid your half the rent
But in your haste on [D] Halloween You left your camera on the [Am] bed
Where we played roms in black and [C] white You left it all in black and [Am] white
I set the timer [D] with our view On the lens of the night
I put the substance [Am] in my head I even took a photograph [C] for you
We're going to have crazy grenade [G] red [D] Are [Am] you [C] happy [D] now?
Are you [Am]
[C] [E] happy now?
Are you [Am]
happy [G] now?
I [C]
[G] smashed a pumpkin on the [C] floor A candle flickered at my [G] feet
As goblins flew across the room A charming beard in the funeral room
A cowboy shivered on the [D] porch A Cinderella checked [Am] her watch
A hobo waited in [C] the street An angel
[Em] whispered, [Am] trick or treat
What was I supposed to [D] do?
I could sit there in the [Am] dark
I was amazed to think it's [C] you To take the candy with you [G] too
[E] Are [Am] you [C]
happy [G] now?
[D] Are you [Am]
happy [D] now?
Are [Am] you happy [G] now?
I've [C] [E]
[G] sat all night, now it's [C] dawn And I cannot believe my [Gm] eyes
This garbage strewn across the [G] lawn We watched it stir up in the sky
As streams of paper filled [D] the tree That hovered over you [Am] and me
As a shaming dream covers [C] the car That we picked [Am] up in Baltimore
Though I know it's hard [D] to tell I hope that once this beat [Am] treats you well
I still maintain that he's [C] a bum But is he only half [G] so fun?
[D] Are [Am] [C] you happy [D] now?
Are [Am] you [C]

Are you [Am]

[C] So, when I [G] heard them coming, I spaced it completely.
When I heard them coming down the hallway, I panicked and I turned off the light.
I turned off the television set, the stereo, or whatever it was, nobody would hear me.
And I sat there in the [C] dark, not answering the door, and the soul was over.
[G] Deep state of self-loathing.
[C] Fear of eternal life.
Sickness unto death.
[G] And so there I sat, [C] you know, listening to their happy little feet approaching,
and their [G] sad, dejected [D] little feet walking away.
[C]
[G] Oh!
And, uh, but I felt so bad that I decided that the only thing to do was to start writing a song.
So I went to the [C] closet so they wouldn't hear me, and on a [G] banjo, because that was the only thing I could find,
I wrote [C] this song.
[G] Now, you may wonder why I would write this song at that moment.
Well, it was obvious.
[E] In [G] the second verse, I blamed the fact that there's no candy [Em] on an imaginary person.
So it was just [G] a way for me to feel better about myself.
But my sweetheart, the daycare center teacher, was bound to hear this song,
so I added this little extra verse here at the end.
And I knew that the first part, she wasn't going to go for it.
That was great.
So I added this little thing here.
A bit too little, too late, but
Here it is.
[Am] You always asked why I had [D] not written you a verse or [Am] two.
Since that's the one thing I regret.
