[F]We used to [C]walk along the [A#]streets
When the [A#]porch lights were shinin' [F]bright
Before I [C]had somewhere to [A#]be
[A#]Back when we had all [F]night[C]
[C]And we were [A#]happy
[F]I do [C]recall a good [A#]while back
We snuck [A#]into the [F]circus
You threw your [C]arms around my [A#]neck
Back [A#]when I deserved [F]it[C]
[C]And we were [A#]happy
[F]When it was good, baby, [C]it was good, baby
[Dm]We showed 'em all up
[A#]No one could touch
the way we [F]laughed in the dark
[C]Talkin' 'bout your daddy's
farm [Dm]we were gonna buy [A#]someday
And we [F]were [C]happy[A#]
[A#]Tell me, when did your [F]winning smile
[Gm7]Begin to [F]look like a smirk?
[A#]When did [F]all our
lessons start to [Gm7]look like weapons
Pointed [F]at my deepest [A#]hurt?
[F]I hope she'll be a beautiful [Gm7]fool
Who [F]takes my spot next to [A#]you
No, I [ ]didn't mean that
Sorry, I [Gm7]can't see facts through all [F]of my fury
You [A#]haven't met the new [F]me yet[F] [Gm7] [F]
[A#]There'll be happiness [F]after me
[Gm7]But there was happiness [F]because of me
[A#]Both of these things, [F]I believe
There is [Gm7]happiness[F]
In our [A#]history, [F]across our great [Gm7]divide[F]
There is a glorious [A#]sunrise[F]
Dappled with the [Gm7]flickers of light
From the [F]dress I wore at
midnight, [A#]leave it all behind[F]
And there is happiness[Gm7]
[Dm]Oh, I hate [A#]those voices
[F]Tellin' me I'm not in [C]love anymore
[Dm]But they don't [A#]give me choices
And [F]that's what these tears are [C]for
'Cause [F]we were [C]happy
We were [A#]happy[A#]
[Cm]I [A#]can't make it [D#]go away [F]by making you a villain
[Cm]I [A#]guess it's the[D#] price I
paid for [F]seven years in Heaven
[Gm7]And I pulled your [A#]body into mine
Every [F]goddamn night, now I get fake niceties[Gm7]
No one teach[A#]es you what to do
When a [F]good man hurts you
And you [F]know you hurt him, too
We were [A#]happy
[F]We were [C]happy
[F]When it was good, baby, [C]it was good, baby
[Dm]We showed 'em all up
[A#]No one could touch the way we [F]laughed in the dark
[C]Talkin' 'bout your daddy's farm
[Dm]And you were gonna marry [A#]me
And we [F]were happy
[A#]There'll be happiness [F]after you
[Gm7]But there was happiness [F]because of you, too
[A#]Both of these things [F]can be true
There is [Gm7]happiness[F]
In our [A#]history
[F]We were [C]happy
Oh, [Gm7]leave it all behind[F]
And there is happiness[Gm7]
In our [A#]history
[F]We were [A#]
