G* G*
I've been long, a long way from here

Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,

We went searching through thrift store jungles

Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo

Well, o.k. I made this up,
C Dadd9
I promised you I'd never give up

If it makes you haaaaaaappy, it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad
Am C G* G*
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, then why the hell are you so sad?
Verse:
You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
Pre-Chorus
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed; scr*pe the mold off the bread,
And serve you French toast again
Well, o.k. I still get stoned, I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
Am C G D
If it makes you haaaaaaappy, it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad

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