HAPPY
Verse G, D, C, G, D / G, D, C, G, D, G
Chorus C, G, D, Em, C, G, D / Bridge E… F# G… E…C G D
1ST VERSE
G D
Oh God, Life gets harder
C G D
As we get older
G D
When they say, “why do you bother?”
C G D G
I say, “ It sure ain’t no bother, to me”
CHORUS
C G D Em
Cuz the cross on the church is lit up down the street
C G D
and the stars are all shining on me
C G D Em
well I had a good day, and I’m lucky to say
C G D ….. G…
that I’m happy
2nd VERSE
Oh God, Life gets harder
As we get older
When they say, “why do you bother?”
I say, “ it sure ain’t no bother”
When they talk, “you’ll never make it”
Well I walk, I’ve already made it
When they fight, “why don’t you prove it?”
I fight back, I don’t need to prove a thing to you
2ND CHORUS
Cuz the trash on the ground is lit up by streetlights
And the rain is all pouring on me
Well I had a bad day, but I’m lucky to say
That I’m happy, that I’m happy, this way
BRIDGE E… G… E…C G D Ohhh
Repeat 1ST CHORUS
That I’m happy, happy, happy, this way
