[Verse]
G
I pass it in the hallway
I stop and reminisce
Em7
Most times I keep on walking
G
Can't believe we ended up like this
I wonder where you are (and)
How the hell we got so far
Em7
From those two kids, that first kiss
Leanin' up against a chain link fence
C
It's probably time to take it down
C
Don't need it reminding me now
[Chorus]
G
That I was happy once
Em7
Wish that pictured just stop doing what it always does
Wish that song wouldn't come on
C
When my hearts already halfway gone
D
Halfway down this leaving road I'm on
G
Yeah we were happy once
Who we were ain't who we are
Em
We had a real good run
Em7 C
But that don't mean I need to be staying up all night
Cm
Making myself think twice
G
Just cuz I was happy once

[Verse]
G
It was fun until it wasn't
Blink and you're twenty-something
Em7
Laying next to someone you don't recognize
G
And the bills are pilin' up and
He hasn't kissed you in a month but
Em
Every now and then it's love
C
And that's what tears me up, 'cause I was...
[Chorus]
G
Happy once
Em
Wish that pictured just stop doing what it always does
Wish that song wouldn't come on
C
When my hearts already halfway gone
D
Halfway down this leaving road I'm on
G
Yeah we were happy once
Who we were ain't who we are
Em
We had a real good run
C
But that don't mean I need to be staying up all night
Cm
Making myself think twice
Just cuz I was happy
[Break]
Em
It's clear to me it's over
C/F#
But that girl at 21
C
She's always gonna love you cuz
F
You made her happy once
Em
Happy once
[Chorus]
G
Yeah I was happy once
Em
Wish that pictured just stop doing what it always does
Wish that song wouldn't come on
C
When my hearts already halfway gone
D
Halfway down this leaving road I'm on
G
Yeah we were happy once
Who we were ain't who we are
Em
We had a real good run
Em7 C
But that don't mean I need to be staying up all night

Making myself think twice
