As recorded by Blue October (From the 2000 Album CONSENT TO TREATMENT) [Intro] G C G [Verse 1]
G
I feel that it's hard enough to say good-bye

G
I feel there's the water, should I sink or dive?

   C                                              G
An empty plate, fill up my sentimental morning stars

G
And I steal the art of putting truth in a lie

G
And I still want the girl that really caught my eye

         C                                          G
But, oh, she lives in Oklahoma City, far away from me

                 C
Well, there's an empty hope chest, I quit the dope quest

                         G
And remain independently happy
[Chorus]
G
I said I'm finally happy, happy

              C     G
Independently happy
[Verse 2]
G
And I deal with the fact that I've forgiven the worst

G
And I feel that my social behavior

G
May seem somewhat unrehearsed

    C
But another page, a sullen rage

                              G
And I'll be back to my normal self
[Chorus]
G
I'm finally happy, happy

              C     G
Independently happy
[Interlude] G C [Guitar Solo] G C Em F G C Em F G [Verse 3]
G
So I drive to the edge of my considerate plane

G
And I apologize to the people I hurt on the way

G
But I

C
I wipe the slate clean, I kick the daydream

                      G
And remain independently happy
[Chorus]
G
I'm finally happy, happy

              C     G
Independently happy

G       
Happy, I'm happy

               C
I'm independently, I'm independently
[Outro] G C G C Em F G C Em F G C Em F G
