[Verse]
F               C
 There's a light
Am             G               F
  It's burning in your eyes tonight
                 C
You're doing more
      G           G
Than killing time
 
F             C
 And did our dreams
Am        G             F
  Simply burn like kerosene
             C            G         G
Chasing the ghosts from another life
 
F   Am                  G
 I know you're gonna go away
F           Am                 G
 Before you do I got something to say
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                  C        G
If we could stay together-er-er
         C          G        Am
For the kids and a few more years
                C              G  G
They might not end up like we did
 
Am                C   G                 C    G     Am
  And love has a way-aay of losing its shine over time
          C               G
You were young and so was I
 
                         Am
And we don't have to be happy
C                    G    C G Am  C G
We don't have to be happy
 
 
[Verse]
F           C    Am             G                 F
 There's a voice   of a little girl and a little boy
               C  G              G
Is your freedom, worth the price?
 
F                C
There's nothing left to say
Am                       G                  F
The heart tends to only want what causes it to break
             C          G         G
And we both know, this ain't right
 
F                Am          G    G
 So think about them before you go
F               Am             G
 'Cause I can't do this on my own
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                  C        G
If we could stay together-er-er
         C          G        Am
For the kids and a few more years
                C              G  G
They might not end up like we did
 
Am                C   G                 C    G     Am
  And love has a way-aay of losing its shine over time
          C               G
You were young and so was I
 
                         Am
And we don't have to be happy
 C                       G
And we don't have to be happy
 C            G          Am   C  G
And we don't have to be happy

[Chorus]
Am                  C        G
If we could stay together-er-er
         C          G        Am
For the kids and a few more years
                C              G  G
They might not end up like we did
 
Am                 C   G                 C    G     Am
I know love has a way-aay of losing its shine over time
          C               G  G
You were young and so was I
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                  C        G
If we could stay together-er-er
         C         G    Am
For the kids it'll be enough
                  C                       G
This ain't about love, and it ain't about us
 
 
[Outro]
                         Am
And we don't have to be happy
 C                       G
And we don't have to be happy
 C            G          Am
And we don't have to be happy
 
 C                       G
And we don't have to be happy
                         Am   C G  C G Am  C G
And we don't have to be happy
 
                     Am
We don't have to be happy, nah
C                    G
We don't have to be happy
C         G          Am
We don't have to be happy, nah
C                    G
We don't have to be happy
                     Am
We don't have to be happy
C                    G
We don't have to be happy
C         G          Am
We don't have to be happy
C                    G    Am
We don't have to be happy
C                    G
We don't have to be happy
C         G          Am
We don't have to be happy
C                    G
We don't have to be happy
                     Am
We don't have to be happy
C                    G
We don't have to be happy - FADE OUT
