[Verse 1]
     D#m                        A#m
Our love is like a river, overflowing over time

        C#                G#m
Running wild, filled with life

     D#m                        A#m
Our love is complicated, living lies and compromise

        C#                 G#m
Side by side, speaking our minds

       B              D#m
We both made this bed
We can't fit the whole world into it
C#             A#m
Tie our threads into a life that fits
[Chorus]
B                           F#                         C#
  If it's gonna make you happy, if it's gonna set us free

                          D#m            C#      B
If it's gonna hold us steady, then it's all we need

                          F#                        C#
If it's gonna make you happy, if it's gonna let us be

                          D#m            C#     B
If it's gonna hold us steady, then it's what I need

             F#
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

                           C#
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) it's what I want

                                       G#m
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) 'cause I want you, I need you
[Verse 2]
      D#m                                        A#m
Your voice brought us forever, but with work and fame and family

           C#                   G#m
We use our minds to light some fires

      D#m                             G#m
Our choices bound together, saw the world, made history

              C#             G#m
We're living free, and honestly

     B               G#m
So we share this bed

                            C#
Rather than lying more in it

                A#m
Pull the threads, but just don't set fire to this
[Chorus]
B                           F#                         C#
  If it's gonna make you happy, if it's gonna set us free

                          D#m            C#       B
If it's gonna hold us steady, then it's what we need

                          F#                        C#
If it's gonna make you happy, if it's gonna let us be

                          D#m            C#     B
If it's gonna hold us steady, then it's what I need

             F#
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

                           C#
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) it's what I want

                                       G#m

(Ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh)

     F#m
(Ah)

                         C#m
Still, the faces come to haunt him (ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh)

     E                          Bm
The ghosts I have to share you with

            F#m                           C#m
(Ah-ah-ah) oh, still to me, they're never walking (ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh)

E                          Bm
In this garden that we've built, oh
[Chorus]
B                             F#m                        C#
Oh, if it's gonna make you happy, if it's gonna set us free

                          D#m            C#       B
If it's gonna hold us steady, then it's what we need

                          F#                        C#
If it's gonna make you happy, if it's gonna let us be

                          D#m            C#     B
If it's gonna hold us steady, then it's what I need

         F#
No-oh-oh

                    C#m
Oh-oh, it's what I want
