Introduction: G5
G
I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
C
And drank til I was thirsty again
G
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
C
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
D
Well, o.k. I made this up
C D
I promised you I'd never give up
Am C
If it makes you happy
G D
It can't be that bad
Am C
If it makes you happy
G
are you so sad
G
You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
C
Well who hasn't been there before?
G
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
C
And serve you french toast again
D
Well, o.k. I made this up
C D
I promised you I'd never give up
Am C
If it makes you happy
G D
It can't be that bad
Am C
If it makes you happy
Em
Then why the hell are you so sad
G
We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
C
And everywhere in between
D
Well, o.k., we get along
C D
So what if right now everything's wrong?
Am C
If it makes you happy
G D
It can't be that bad
Am C
If it makes you happy
G
are you so sad
