C G Am C/B C
 
 
[Verse]

       C         G    
Well, I've been pacin' 

      Am       C/B    C
This room for forty hours

    C            G      
Crawlin' up the wall and 

   Am  C/B    C
Tryin' not to call

    C           G         
And I saw you walking in a 

 Am    C/B    C
Supermarket aisle

   C             G        
I didn't say a word 'cause 

    Am       C/B    C
You had the biggest smile
 
[Verse]


     C         G          
And I've been thinkin' of 

 Am          C/B    C
You in the morning times

      C             G     
You woke me up so soft that 

    Am       C/B          C
I forgot the world ain't kind


    C      G         
I pull you in and you 

 Am        C/B        C
Kissed me through a grin

     C            G           
And you say you missed me when 

          Am  C/B   C
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    
And if you called 

               C
You'd say that you're okay

     G            
And I'd be wishin'
        Am
 I was there

                      F     C
'Cause you're happy instead

        G    Am
Happy instead
 
 
[Verse]


     C         G              
And I've been dreamin' of the 

  Am      C/B     C
Life we would have had

  C         G       Am C/B     C
Happy at times but mostly just mad

  C            G     
Maybe it'd worked out, 

 Am   C/B      C
Maybe it'd be fine

     C                    
But every day 

      G 
Your smile ain't showin

 
 Am      C/B     C
seems a waste of time

 
 
[Chorus]


                 F              C
But what if I'd said happy instead

        G     
Is the way that 

                   Am
I reckon it should be

            F    
And if you called 
               C
You'd say that you're okay

     G           
And I'd be wishin' 

       Am
I was there

                      F     C
'Cause you're happy instead

        G    Am
Happy instead
 
 
[Verse]


 C         G       
It's been ten years, 

   Am      C/B      C
I hadn't called you once

     C                G        
When you called last night and 

    Am   C/B     C
My child up and jumped

     C            G      
He asked who you were and 

 Am C/B     C
You did the same

  C             G      
Handed me the phone and 

   Am         C/B       C
I couldn't recall your name
 
 
[Chorus]


                 F              C
But what if I'd said happy instead

        G             
Is the way that I reckon 

          Am
I should be

            F   
And if you called 

                C
You'd hear that I'm okay

     G             
And you'd be wishin' 
        Am
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                
Is the way that I reckon 
         Am
I should be

            F    
And if you called 

                  C
you'd hear that I'm okay

     G             
And you'd be wishin' 

         Am
You was dead

                  F      C   G  Am
'Cause I'm happy instead
