Joe Jackson - Happy Ending
Intro:
F#m
Verse 1:
F#m E D D/C# D/B
I'm in a movie,
A E
where boy meets girl.
F#m E D D/C# D/B
What happens to me
A E
in this brave new world?
Chorus 1
D A E D
Do I listen to my heart? Do I listen to my head?
A E D
Do I look at what I see, or remember what I read?
A E D
When I tell you how I feel do I wonder what I say?
Dm
Is there nothing we can do about it?
E A D Dm
Anyone, anyone can be so hardhearted;
E A D
but everyone, still everybody
Dm E A
wants an happy ending.
D D A F#m
La la la la la la la la la la
Verse 2:
It's not so easy,
it's eighty four now.
How tough must we be
to ask for more, now?
Chorus 2:
Do I listen to my head? Do I listen to my heart?
Do I try to feel the same, as I do when we're apart?
Do I think about the end when it's only just the start?
Is there nothing we can do about it?
Anyone, anyone can be so hardhearted;
but everyone, still everybody
wants a happy ending.
