| G | G | G | G
Verse 1
I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
G C*
And drank 'til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
G C*
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
Pre-Chorus 1
Well, okay, I made this up… I promised you I'd never give up
Chorus
N.C. Am C G D
If it makes you happy it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad
If it makes you happy then why the hell are you so sad?
Verse 2
You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well, who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed; scrape the mold off the bread,
And serve you French toast again
Pre-Chorus 2
Well, okay, I still get stoned… I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
Chorus
N.C. Am C G D
If it makes you happy it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad
If it makes you happy then why the hell are you so sad?
If it makes you happy it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad
If it makes you happy then why the hell are you so sad?

Verse 3
We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
G C*
And everywhere in between
Pre-Chorus 3
Well, okay, we get along… so what if right now everything's wrong?
Chorus
N.C. Am C G D
If it makes you happy it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad
If it makes you happy then why the hell are you so sad?
If it makes you happy it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad
If it makes you happy then why the hell are you so sad?

your pinky on the string 1; G note (fret 3). When changing from the preceding G
chord merely drop fingers 2 and 3 one string down.
