[Intro]
C G Am C/B C

[Verse 1]
       C         G     
Well, I\'ve been pacin\' 
      Am       C/B    C
this room for forty hours
    C            G   
Crawlin\' up the wall 
       Am  C/B    C
and tryin\' not to call
    C           G     
And I saw you walking 
       Am   C/B    C
in a supermarket aisle
   C             G         
I didn\'t say a word \'cause 
    Am       C/B    C
you had the biggest smile

[Verse 2]
     C         G       
And I\'ve been thinkin\' 
    Am          C/B    C
of you in the morning times
      C             G       
You woke me up so soft that 
    Am       C/B          C
I forgot the world ain\'t kind
    C      G           Am    
I pull you in and you kissed 
    C/B        C
me through a grin
     C            G            
And you say you missed me when 
          Am  C/B    C
you were busy sleepin\'

[Chorus]
                 F              C
But what if I\'d said happy instead
        G       
Is the way that 
                   Am
I reckon it should be
            F           
And if you called you\'d 
         C
say that you\'re okay
     G                    Am
And I\'d be wishin\' I was there
                      F     C
\'Cause you\'re happy instead
        G    Am
Happy instead

[Verse 3]
     C         G          
And I\'ve been dreamin\' of 
      Am      C/B     C
the life we would have had
  C         G       Am C/B     C
Happy at times but mostly just mad
  C            G       
Maybe it\'d worked out, 
 Am   C/B      C
maybe it\'d be fine
     C              G          
But every day your smile ain\'t 
          Am      C/B     C
showin\', seems a waste of time

[Chorus]
                 F              C
But what if I\'d said happy instead
        G       
Is the way that 
                   Am
I reckon it should be
            F           
And if you called you\'d 
         C
say that you\'re okay
     G                    Am
And I\'d be wishin\' I was there
                      F     C
\'Cause you\'re happy instead
        G    Am
Happy instead

[Verse 4]
 C         G         
It\'s been ten years, 
   Am      C/B      C
I hadn\'t called you once
     C                G    
When you called last night 
        Am   C/B     C
and my child up and jumped
     C            G   
He asked who you were 
     Am C/B     C
and you did the same
  C             G       
Handed me the phone and 
   Am         C/B       C
I couldn\'t recall your name

[Chorus]
                 F              C
But what if I\'d said happy instead
        G       
Is the way that 
                   Am
I reckon I should be
            F           
And if you called you\'d 
          C
hear that I\'m okay
     G                       Am
And you\'d be wishin\' you was there
                      F     C
\'Cause I\'m happy instead
        G    Am
Happy instead
               F      C
Oh, I\'m happy instead
       G      Am
Happy instead

[Outro]
        F                   C
What if I\'d said happy instead
       G                          Am
Is the way that I reckon I should be
            F           
And if you called you\'d 
           C
hear that I\'m okay
     G                        Am
And you\'d be wishin\' you was dead
                  F      C   G  Am
\'Cause I\'m happy instead
