Lyrics

(Dbsus2)Hap pi ness was (Dbsus2)just out side my win dow. I thought it’d crash blow in’ (Dbsus2)eight y miles an hour. But (Dbsus2)hap pi ness is a lit tle more like knock in’ (Dbsus2)on your door; (Dbsus2)you just let it in. (Dbsus2)Hap pi ness feels a lot like sor row. Let it be; you can’t (Dbsus2)make it come or go. But (Dbsus2)you are gone, not for good, but for now; and gone for now feels a lot like gone for good. Hap pi ness is a fire crack er sit tin’ on my head board. Hap pi ness was (Dbsus2)nev er mine to hold. (Dbsus2)Care ful, child; light the fuse and get a way, ’cause (Dbsus2)hap pi ness throws a show er of sparks. (Fm7)Yeah, (Fm7)yeah. (Dbsus2)Hap pi ness damn near de stroys you, breaks your faith to piec es on the floor. So you (Dbsus2)tell your self that’s e nough for now, but (Dbsus2)hap pi ness has a vio lent roar. (Dbsus2)Hap pi ness, it’s like the old man told me: (Dbsus2)Look for it, and you’ll (Dbsus2)nev er find it all. But (Dbsus2)let it go, (Dbsus2)live your life and leave it. (Dbsus2)Then one day you’ll wake (Dbsus2)up and she’ll be home, home. She’ll be, she’ll be, she’ll be (Fm7)home. She’ll be (Fm7)home. She’ll be home. She’ll be home. She will be home, yeah, yeah. She will be home, yeah, yeah. She’ll be (Ab)home. She’ll be home. She’ll be.
