[G]
Crisscross laces, you have the center, you have the cinnamon in the center
[Am] You shouldn't be [C] alone, you [G] should just pick up yourself and time yourself and
make yourself fit a brand new maybe
Inside streets, you've been walking, I've been walking too
[C] [G] So you know the faces, you know how they'll flirt with you
Well I know my favorite [C] fragrance, [G] well it's from all around my mouth
[G] Since it's me being close to you, somewhere like [C] your [G] last [Am] night we spent [C] together
I [G] want something, next to nothing, half the same
[C] So I got my truth [A] of many colors, [C] I got my [G] fears and all the shade
[C] When I'm riding [Am] my happy taxi, I guess I've [G] got it made
Who's that creeping in the street, who's that creeping by your window
She might know something, she might show [Am] you some things [C] you never really want to
Say [G] I'm forever mean boy, cause it feels so slow
[Am] We drove out [C] like something special, [G] in our special rags
[Am] Well I know [C] that something special [G] happens when we [A] drive ourself to [C] happy
We go driving in a happy [G] taxi, in a happy taxi
I am not the first street preacher, not the first one to need you
Not the first to leave your money, not the first to leave your home
Not the first to leave forever, glad you go, love has gone
[A] So where am I going, [C] where am I going [G] tonight
[A] So where am I staying, [C] in my [F#]
happy [G] moon night
Happy Taxi, in my happy taxi
In [C] my [G] happy taxi
In my happy taxi
In my happy taxi
In my happy taxi
Drive on down, drive on down, drive on down
In my happy
