Loudon Wainwright Iii - So Damn Happy Chords

[Intro]

B / E / B


B                    E   F#  B
The sad thing is I'm so damn happy
B                      E       F#
Who'd blame her if she were to slap me
E                        B
The sun should not shine when there's rain
E                B
I should be in a lot more pain
B                      E        F#
At least I should feel slightly cr*ppy
F#                               B
But the sad thing is I'm so damn happy


B                           E  F#   B
And the worst thing is it's so much better
B              E       F#
That admission would upset her
         E               B
But it's true and it's beyond belief
E              B
What I feel is sheer relief
  B              E     F#
I may regret the day I met her
F#                                  B
And the worst thing is it's so much better


B                    E   F#  B
It's comic that it's all so tragic
B                        E         F#
It's that hum-drum novel old black magic
      E             B  
Let's have a laugh after we cry
      E              B
Let's hope we live before we die
    B                 E       F#
The silly clown's red nose is runny
F#                               B
And it's tragic that it's all so funny


B                    E   F#  B
It's crucial that it doesn't matter
B                E     F#
Vows of love are idle chatter
E                     B
To feel this good has to be bad
    E              B
I'm so damn happy that it's sad
     B                  E       F#
Dear listener would you like to slap me
F#                               B
And the sad thing is I'm so damn happy
        F#                       B
Yes the sad thing is I'm so damn happy
