Happier

(Dm7)Lately, I've been, (C)I've been (F)thinking I want you to be (Bb)happier,

I want you to be happier.

When the morning (Dm7)comes and we see what (C)we've (F)become,

in the cold light of day we're a (Bb)flame in the wind,

not the fire ing that me we've begun.

Ev'ry (C)(Dm7)argument, ev'ry word we (C)can't take (F)back,

'cause with all that has happened I (Bb)think that we both know the way that the story ends.

(C)Then, (Dm7)only for a minute,

(F)I want to change my (Bb)mind 'cause this just don't feel right to (C)me.

I (Dm7)want to raise your spirits,

(F)I want to see you (Bb)smile,

but know that means I'll have to leave.

(Bb)Know that means I'll have to (C)leave.

I want you be happier.

When the (C)evening (Dm7)falls and I'm left there (C)with my (F)thoughts and the image of you being (Bb)with someone else,

well, that's fire ing that me up inside.

But we (C)run our (Dm7)course, we pretended (C)we're (F)okay.

Now if we jump together, at (Bb)least we can swim far away from the wreck we made.

(C)Then, (Dm7)only for a minute,

(F)I want to change my (Bb)mind 'cause this just don't feel right to me.
