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

Know that means I'll have to leave

I will go, go, go
