          G     C6sus2/G            
I've been long... 

                  G    C6sus2/G
a long way from here.

  G                C6sus2/G
I put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,

    G                           C
and drank til I was thirsty again.
[Verse 2]
        G         C6sus2/G
We went searching... 

                        G     C6sus2/G
through thrift store jungles

      G                 C6sus2/G
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's lipstick

    G                            C
and Benny Goodman's corset and pen.
[Pre-Chorus]
C                      D  Dsus4 D
Well, O.K. I made this up

  C                           D
I promised you I'd never give up.
[Chorus]
                Am    C
If it makes you happy,

                 G    D
it can't be that bad...

                Am    C
If it makes you happy,

                            G    C6sus2/G    G    C6sus2/G
then why the hell are you so sad?
[Verse 3]
        G     C6sus2/G
You get down... 

     G        C6sus2/G
real low down

    G                   C6sus2/G
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train.

     G                       C
Well who hasn't been there before?
[Verse 4]
       G      C6sus2/G
I come round... 

           G        C6sus2/G
around the hard way

          G                         C6sus2/G
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread,

    G                          C
and serve you french toast again.
[Pre-Chorus]
C                      D  Dsus4 D
Well, O.K. I still get stoned,

    C                               D
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home.
[Chorus]
                Am    C
If it makes you happy,

                 G    D
it can't be that bad...

                Am    C
If it makes you happy,

                            G
then why the hell are you so sad?

                Am    C
If it makes you happy,

                 G    D
it can't be that bad...

                Am    C
If it makes you happy,

                            Em
then why the hell are you so sad?

We've been far... 

                G    C6sus2/G
far away from here.

   G                C6sus2/G
We put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,

and everywhere in between.

C                        D  Dsus4 D
Well, all right, we get along.

   C                              D
So what if right now everything's wrong?
[Chorus]
                Am    C
If it makes you happy,

                 G    D
it can't be that bad...

                Am    C
If it makes you happy,

                            G
then why the hell are you so sad?

                Am    C
If it makes you happy, yeah,

                 G    D
it can't be that bad...

                Am    C
If it makes you happy,

                            G    C6sus2/G
then why the hell are you so sad?
