[Verse 1]
Bb Dm
It's happy hour again
Eb F
I think I might be happy if I wasn't out with them
Bb Dm
And they're happy, it's a lovely place to be
Eb F Bb
Happy that the bar is where the barman is a she
Bb
Where the haircuts smile
And the meaning of style
F
Is a night out with the boss
Bb
Where you win or you lose
And it's them who choose
F
And if you don't win then you've lost.
[Chorus]
Bb
What a good place to be
Dm
Don't believe it
Eb
'Cause they speak a different language
F Bb
And it's never really happened to me
Dm
Don't believe it
Eb
`Cause they speak a different language
F Bb Dm Eb F
And it's never been happy to me.
[Verse 2]
Bb Dm
It's another night out with the boss
Eb F
Following in footsteps overgrown in moss
Bb Dm
And they tell me that women grow on trees
Eb F Bb
And if you catch them right they will land upon their knees
Bb
Where they open all their wallets
And they close all their minds
F
And they love to buy you all a drink
Bb
And then we ask all the questions
And you take all your clothes off
F
And go back to the kitchen sink
[Chorus]
Bb
What a good place to be
Dm
Don't believe it
Eb
'Cause they speak a different language
F Bb
And it's never really happened to me
Dm
Don't believe it
Eb
`Cause they speak a different language
F Bb Dm Eb F
And it's never been happy to me.
