CHORUS: EmCGD Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh oh EmCGD Blame it on the monsters in my mind, oh oh oh EmC I've been getting better GD At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh EmCG What's wrong with me when happy hurts? D (Em) Happy hurts
VERSE: (RAP) EmC This on again, off again tempermental affection GD For my darkened depression is making me go mad EmC I hear there's a fine line between crazy and sad GD But I can't tell the difference up close EmC There's a lot of us you know ill and undiagnosed GD But I don't need a piece of paper to tell me what I already know EmCG I'm not alright, for tonight, can we let that be alright? D Pick up the battle again in the morning light
PRE-CHORUS: (RAP) EmC And I'm fighting so hard to come out of the dark GD Trying to turn off the night, finally let in the light EmC Trying to make my misery just a piece of my history GD A little less victim, a little more victory
CHORUS: EmCGD Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh oh EmCGD Blame it on the monsters in my mind, oh oh oh EmC I keep getting better GD At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh EmCG What's wrong with me when happy hurts? (D) Em Happy hurts
VERSE: (RAP) EmC Today I feel okay guess it was all just in my head GD I just need to try harder I guess EmC Yeah everyone else in the world seems to be doing alright G Yeah, I'm alright for tonight D Can we let the pain and the happy mix EmC Can the two coexist? The beauty next to the mess GD Because I swear I have them both already beating in my chest EmC If that makes me crazy even numbers don't lie GD But I don't call that crazy I call it being alive
PRE-CHORUS: (RAP) EmC And I'm fighting so hard to come out of the dark GD Trying to turn off the night, finally let in the light EmC Trying to make my misery just a piece of my history GD A little less victim, please

VERSE: (RAP) EmC If I had to pick between the way that I am GD And the way that everybody else seems to pretend EmC I wouldn't consider it, not for even a second GD Between psycho and sanity, it's not even a question EmC My favorite parts of myself seem to make the least sense, GD All the cracks in my skin they just let the light in EmC My favorite parts of myself make the least sense GD All the cracks in my skin let the light in
CHORUS: EmCGD Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh oh EmCGD All I want's the one thing I can't fi-ind EmC I keep getting better GD At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh EmCGDEmC What's wrong with me when happy hur-urts?
