Intro
C#m E/G#
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
A
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
[Verse 1]
C#m
When the morning comes
E/G#
When we see what we've become
A
In the cold light of day we're a flame in the wind
Not the fire that we've begun
E/G#
Every argument, every word we can't take back
'Cause with the all that has happened
A
I think that we both know the way that the story ends
[Chorus]
C#m E/G#
Then only for a minute
A
I want to change my mind
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
C#m E/G#
I want to raise your spirits
A
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I'll have to leave
C#m E/G#
A
Know that means I'll have to leave
C#m E/G#
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
A F#m
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
[Verse 2]
E/G#
When the evening falls
And I'm left there with my thoughts
A
And the image of you being with someone else
F#m
Well, that's eating me up inside
B C#m E/G#
But we run our course, we pretended we're okay
A
Now if we jump together at least we can swim
Far away from the wreck we made
[Chorus]
C#m E/G#
Then only for a minute

I want to change my mind
