If It Makes You Happy Chords

[Verse 1]
 
G                                    G
I've been long, a long way from here
G
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
G                                C*
And drank 'til I was thirsty again
 
G                                                G
We went searching through thrift store jungles
G
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
G                               C*
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen  
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
                        D   
Well, o.k. I made this up…  
   C                            D
I promised you I'd never give up
 
 
[Chorus]
 
               Am    C                  G          D
If it makes you happy it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad
                  Am  C                               G
If it makes you happy then why the hell are you so sad?
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G
You get down, real low down
G
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
G                                C
Well who hasn't been there before?
 
G
I come round, around the hard way
G
Bring you comics in bed; scrape the mold off the bread,
G                              C
And serve you French toast again
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
                             D    
Well, o.k. I still get stoned…    
C                                      D
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                Am   C                 G          D
If it makes you happy it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad
                  Am  C                               G
If it makes you happy then why the hell are you so sad?   
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
G                                  G
We've been far, far away from here
G
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
G                       C*
And everywhere in between
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
                       D   
Well, o.k. we get along…   
   C                                 D
so what if right now everything's wrong?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
               Am    C                  G          D
If it makes you happy  it can't be that ba-aa-aa-ad
                  Am  C                               G
If it makes you happy then why the hell are you so sad?
