🎶 We Were Happy x happiness

[Em]We used to [A#]walk along the [D#m]streets
When the [D#m]porch lights were shinin' [Em]bright
Before I [A#]had somewhere to [D#m]be
[D#m]Back when we had all [Em]night[A#]
[A#]And we were [D#m]happy
[Em]I do [A#]recall a good [D#m]while back
We snuck [D#m]into the [Em]circus
You threw your [A#]arms around my [D#m]neck
Back [D#m]when I deserved [Em]it[A#]
[A#]And we were [D#m]happy

[Em]When it was good, baby, [A#]it was good, baby
[Eb]We showed 'em all up
[D#m]No one could touch the way we [Em]laughed in the dark
[A#]Talkin' 'bout your daddy's farm [Eb]we were gonna buy [D#m]someday
And we [Em]were [A#]happy[D#m]

[D#m]Tell me, when did your [Em]winning smile
[Gm7]Begin to [Em]look like a smirk?
[D#m]When did [Em]all our lessons start to [Gm7]look like weapons
Pointed [Em]at my deepest [D#m]hurt?
[Em]I hope she'll be a beautiful [Gm7]fool
Who [Em]takes my spot next to [D#m]you
No, I [ ]didn't mean that
Sorry, I [Gm7]can't see facts through all [Em]of my fury
You [D#m]haven't met the new [Em]me yet[Em] [Gm7] [Em]

[D#m]There'll be happiness [Em]after me
[Gm7]But there was happiness [Em]because of me
[D#m]Both of these things, [Em]I believe
There is [Gm7]happiness[Em]

In our [D#m]history, [Em]across our great [Gm7]divide[Em]
There is a glorious [D#m]sunrise[Em]
Dappled with the [Gm7]flickers of light
From the [Em]dress I wore at midnight, [D#m]leave it all behind[Em]
And there is happiness[Gm7]

[Eb]Oh, I hate [D#m]those voices
[Em]Tellin' me I'm not in [A#]love anymore
[Eb]But they don't [D#m]give me choices
And [Em]that's what these tears are [A#]for
'Cause [Em]we were [A#]happy
We were [D#m]happy[D#m]

[G]I [D#m]can't make it [E#m]go away [Em]by making you a villain
[G]I [D#m]guess it's the[E#m] price I paid for [Em]seven years in Heaven
[Gm7]And I pulled your [D#m]body into mine
Every [Em]goddamn night, now I get fake niceties[Gm7]
No one teach[D#m]es you what to do
When a [Em]good man hurts you
And you [Em]know you hurt him, too

We were [D#m]happy
[Em]We were [A#]happy

[Em]When it was good, baby, [A#]it was good, baby
[Eb]We showed 'em all up
[D#m]No one could touch the way we [Em]laughed in the dark
[A#]Talkin' 'bout your daddy's farm
[Eb]And you were gonna marry [D#m]me
And we [Em]were happy

[D#m]There'll be happiness [Em]after you
[Gm7]But there was happiness [Em]because of you, too
[D#m]Both of these things [Em]can be true
There is [Gm7]happiness[Em]

In our [D#m]history
[Em]We were [A#]happy
Oh, [Gm7]leave it all behind[Em]
And there is happiness[Gm7]
In our [D#m]history
[Em]We were [D#m]⠀
