Intro
 Am 
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking 
                 F                Dm 
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier 
 
Verse 1
                     Am 
When the morning comes 
                       C 
When we see what we've become 
 
In the cold light of day, we're a flame in the wind 
                         Dm 
Not the fire that we've begun 
              Am                             C 
Every argument, every word we can't take back 
 
'Cause with all that has happened 
  F                                         Dm 
I think that we both know the way that this story ends 
 
Chorus
     Am                  C 
Then only for a minute 
                      F 
I want to change my mind 
                          Dm 
'Cause this just don't feel right to me 
  Am                         C 
I wanna raise your spirits 
                     F 
I want to see you smile but 
                   Dm 
Know that means I'll have to leave 
 
Post-Chorus
                      Dm 
Know that means I'll have to leave 
Am                                 C 
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking 
                       F                         Dm 
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier 
 
Verse 2
                      Am 
When the evening falls 
                            C 
And I'm left there with my thoughts 
                               F 
And the image of you being with someone else 
                        Dm 
Well, it's eating me up inside 
                    Am                       C 
But we ran our course, we pretended we're okay 
                             F 
Now if we jump together, at least we can swim 
                           Dm 
Far away from the wreck we made 
 
Chorus
      Am                 C 
Then only for a minute 
                     F 
I want to change my mind 
                        Dm 
'Cause this just don't feel right to me 
    Am                       C 
I wanna raise your spirits 
                   F 
I want to see you smile but 
                       Dm 
Know that means I'll have to leave 
 
Post-Chorus
                      Dm 
Know that means I'll have to leave 
  Am                            C 
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking 
                       F                         Dm 
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

        F         C 
So I'll go, I'll go 
        G       Am 
I will go, go, go 
         F        C 
So I'll go, I'll go

I will go, go, go

I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier 
 Am                              C 
Even though I might not like this 
                            F                        Dm 
I think that you'll be happier, I want you to be happier

I want to change my mind 
                              Dm 
'Cause this just don't feel right to me (Right to me) 
    Am                              C 
I wanna raise your spirits (Wanna raise your spirits) 
                    F
