#1.
Bb
People think I'm a sight to see, the way
F
that I look today.
F
But they should have seen the way I looked
Eb Bb
when you first walked away.
Bb Eb
I may still cry, it's true, but then what's
a tear or two?
F
Compared to what I used to be, for me, this
Bb
is happy.
#2.
Bb F
I've forgotten as much of you as I can forget.
F Eb
And I've gotten over you as much as I can ever
Bb
get.
Bb Eb
And if I still look sad, well, for me that's not
bad.
F
It's the best I'll ever be, so, for me, this is
Bb
happy.
#3.
Gm F Bb
You're gone and I accept it and there's nothing I
can do.
C F
I've gotta learn to live with pain if I can't live
my life with you.
Bb Eb
Yes, to me happiness means I hurt a little less, to
F
you it may seem like misery but, for me, this is
Bb
happy.
OUTRO:
F
To you it may seem like misery, but, for me, this
Eb Bb
is happy.
