It's happy hour again
    Eb                          F
I think I might be happy if I wasn't out with them
             Bb             Dm
And they're happy, it's a lovely place to be
 Eb                               F         Bb
Happy that the bar is where the barman is a she

             Bb
Where the haircuts smile

And the meaning of style
                         F
Is a night out with the boss
          Bb
Where you win or you lose

And it's them who choose
                                  F
And if you don't win then you've lost.

                     Bb
What a good place to be
        Dm
Don't believe it
             Eb
'Cause they speak a different language
           F                      Bb
And it's never really happened to me
         Dm
Don't believe it
             Eb
`Cause they speak a different language
           F                 Bb         Dm  Eb   F
And it's never been happy to me.

       Bb      Dm
It's another night out with the boss
    Eb                     F
Following in footsteps overgrown in moss
          Bb           Dm
And they tell me that women grow on trees
    Eb                                 F               Bb
And if you catch them right they will land upon their knees

            Bb
Where they open all their wallets

And they close all their minds
                                 F
And they love to buy you all a drink
         Bb
And then we ask all the questions

And you take all your clothes off
                            F
And go back to the kitchen sink

                     Bb
What a good place to be
        Dm
Don't believe it
             Eb
'Cause they speak a different language
           F                      Bb
And it's never really happened to me
         Dm
Don't believe it
             Eb
`Cause they speak a different language
           F                 Bb         Dm  Eb   F
And it's never been happy to me.
