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

I want to see you smile but
Know that means I'll have to leave

Know that means I'll have to leave

I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
