Intro: E A6sus2 (x4)
E A6sus2 E A6sus2
I've been long, a long way from here
E A6sus2
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
E A6sus2
And drank til I was thirsty again
E A6sus2 E A6sus2
We went searching through thrift store jungles
E A6sus2
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
E Asus2
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
Bsus4
Well, o.k. I made this up
Asus2 Bsus4
I promised you I'd never give up
F#m Asus2
If it makes you happy
E Bsus4
It can't be that bad
F#m Asus2
If it makes you happy
E A6sus2
Then why the hell are you so sad
E A6sus2
E A6sus2 E A6sus2
You get down, real low down
E A6sus2
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
E A6sus2
Well, who hasn't been there before?
E A6sus2 E A6sus2
I come round, around the hard way
E A6sus2
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
E Asus2
And serve you french toast again
Bsus4
Well, o.k. I still get stoned
Asus2 Bsus4
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
F#m Asus2
If it makes you happy
E Bsus4
It can't be that bad
F#m Asus2
If it makes you happy
E A6sus2
Then why the hell are you so sad
F#m Asus2
If it makes you happy
E Bsus4
It can't be that bad
F#m Asus2
If it makes you happy
C#m
Then why the hell are you so sad
F#m C#m Asus2
E A76sus2 E A6sus2
E A6sus2 E A6sus2
It's been far, far aways from here
E A6sus2
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
E Asus2
And everywhere in between
Bsus4
Well, o.k. we get along
Asus2 Bsus4
So what if right now everything's wrong?
F#m Asus2
If it makes you happy
E Bsus4
It can't be that bad
F#m Asus2
If it makes you happy
E Bsus4
Then why the hell are you so sad
F#m Asus2
If it makes you happy
E Bsus4
It can't be that bad
F#m Asus2
If it makes you happy
E A6sus2
Then why the hell are you so sad
E A6sus2
E A6sus2
Then why the hell are you so sad
