[Verse]
CI woke up this mornin' still weFarin' that tCie

CThe streets were so crowded with billFboards and siCgns
CFood trucks double parked in their paGrallel liCnes
CI thought about breakfast but seFttled on wCine
CAlways choose hunger Gover deFspair
FAnd what's possible ovGer what's theCre C7

Oh my haFppiness is a mCere afterthought
CWhen I'm with her I kGeep it in mFind
Then she leDmaves and I've rGun out of timCe

CI sat down today in a hFigh barber's cChair
CTo hear the town gossip and cGlean up my hCair
CHe said she was seen on the bFus station sCtairs
CWith her suitcase threGatenin' to waClk C Fmaj7 C
CNot sure how true it was but I'll Fhazard a guCess
CIt's probably not more and it's prGobably not Cless
CIf that college kid bookie was acFcepting bCets
CThe brackets would mGostly be chFalk
FYeah it's safe to assuGme that she's lCost C7
[Chorus]
FBut it isn't as though we gCet what we want
G7No matter how hard or loCng we have fought

Then she's Dmgone and I've rGun out of tCime

CTake every audition til I'mF Errol FlynCn
CAnd bring it to lifGe off the paCge C Fmaj7 C
CAnd I'll get up tomorrow still weFarin' that tCie
CThe one with the skull and the cGrossbone desiCgns

CIn this world that's calledG more of the saFme
FYeah I wouldn't feel pGroud or ashaCmed C7

Oh my haFppiness is a mCere afterthought
CWhen I'm with her I kGeep it in mFind
Then she leDmaves and I've rGun out of timCe
