Happiness
C9 G
is just outside my window
C9 G Em7
Would it crash
C9 G
blowing 80-miles an hour?
C9 G Em7
Or is happiness
C9 G
a little more like knocking
C9 G Em7
On your door,
C9 G
and you just let it in?
C9 G Em7

But you are gone-
C9 G
not for good but for now
C9 G Em7
Gone for now
C9 G
feels a lot like gone for good

Happiness
C9 G
is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
C9 G Em7
Happiness
C9 G
was never mine to hold

Careful child,
C9 G
light the fuse and get away

‘Cause happiness
C9 G
throws a shower of sparks

Happiness
C9 G
damn near destroys you

Breaks your faith

to pieces on the floor

has a violent roar

is like the old man told me

Look for it,
C9 G
but you’ll never find it all

live your life and leave it
C9 G Em7
Then one day,
C9 G
wake up and she’ll be home
