[Intro]
C G Am C/B C
[Verse 1]
C G Am C/B C
Well, I've been pacin' this room for forty hours
C G Am C/B C
Crawlin' up the wall and tryin' not to call
C G Am C/B C
And I saw you walking in a supermarket aisle
C G Am C/B C
I didn't say a word 'cause you had the biggest smile
[Verse 2]
C G Am C/B C
And I've been thinkin' of you in the morning times
C G Am C/B C
You woke me up so soft that I forgot the world ain't kind
C G Am C/B C
I pull you in and you kissed me through a grin
C G Am C/B C
And you say you missed me when you were busy sleepin'
[Chorus]
F C
But what if I'd said happy instead
G Am
Is the way that I reckon it should be
F C
And if you called you'd say that you're okay
G Am
And I'd be wishin' I was there
F C
'Cause you're happy instead
G Am
Happy instead
[Verse 3]
C G Am C/B C
And I've been dreamin' of the life we would have had
C G Am C/B C
Happy at times but mostly just mad
C G Am C/B C
Maybe it'd worked out, maybe it'd be fine
C G Am C/B C
But every day your smile ain't showin', seems a waste of time
[Chorus]
F C
But what if I'd said happy instead
G Am
Is the way that I reckon it should be
F C
And if you called you'd say that you're okay
G Am
And I'd be wishin' I was there
F C
'Cause you're happy instead
G Am
Happy instead
[Verse 4]
C G Am C/B C
It's been ten years, I hadn't called you once
C G Am C/B C
When you called last night and my child up and jumped
C G Am C/B C
He asked who you were and you did the same
C G Am C/B C
Handed me the phone and I couldn't recall your name
[Chorus]
F C
But what if I'd said happy instead
G Am
Is the way that I reckon I should be
F C
And if you called you'd hear that I'm okay
G Am
And you'd be wishin' you was there
F C
'Cause I'm happy instead
G Am
Happy instead
F C
Oh, I'm happy instead
G Am
Happy instead
[Outro]
F C
What if I'd said happy instead
G Am
Is the way that I reckon I should be
F C
And if you called you'd hear that I'm okay
G Am
And you'd be wishin' you was dead
F C G Am
'Cause I'm happy instead
