You will make him happy

Solo  

D          A#   G        A 
And if you fool yourself

You will make him happy 

               A#   G    A 
He'll keep you in a jar 

           A#           F      D 
Then you'll think you're happy 

               A#        G      A 
He'll give you breathing holes 

         A#  G    D      A# 
Then you will seem happy 

            A#      G        A 
You'll wallow in the shit 
           A#            G    D   A# 
Then you'll think you're happy now 


{Chorus}
