        G* 
I've belong a long way from here
                                       
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,         -0-1-3-1--0--|

If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad
                 Am   C                            G*
If it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad?
Verse 2
         G*         
You get down, real low down. You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
                              C*
Well who hasn't been there before?
        G*
I come round, around the hard way, 
                  
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mould off the bread,
                                C*                         D*
And serve you french toast again. Well, o.k. I still get stoned
     C                               D
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
Chorus 
N.C.             Am   C                  G    D
If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad
                 Am   C                            G
If it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad?
                 Am   C                  G    D
If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad
                 Am   C                              Em
If it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad?
