[Verse]
B                 E 
 Honey, when I'm above the trees 
B           E 
 I see this for what it is 
B            C#m7                      B 
 But now I'm right down in it, all the years I've given 
        E                   B 
Is just shit we're dividin' up 
           C#m7             B 
Showed you all of my hiding spots 
      E                      B 
I was dancing when the music stopped 
           C#m7         B              E 
And in the disbelief, I can't face reinvention 
  B                     E   B  E 
I haven't met the new me yet
[Chorus]
B                       E 
 There'll be happiness after you 
B                          C#m7 
 But there was happiness because of you 
B                     C#m7 
 Both of these things can be true 
         B        E 
There is happiness
[Post-Chorus]
             B         C#m7 
Past the blood and bruise 
                    B  E 
Past the curses and cries 
                         B       C#m7 
Beyond the terror in the nightfall 
               B 
Haunted by the look in my eyes 
              E 
That would've loved you for a lifetime 
B                C#m7 
Leave it all behind 
                     B 
And there is happiness
[Verse]
E                       B 
 Tell me, when did your winning smile 
C#m7        B 
   Begin to look like a smirk? 
E         B                        C#m7 
 When did all our lessons start to look like weapons 
        B             E 
Pointed at my deepest hurt? 
  B                          C#m7 
I hope she'll be a beautiful fool 
    B                     E 
Who takes my spot next to you 
      B 
No, I didn't mean that 
         C#m7                    B 
Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury 
    E                     B   C#m7  B 
You haven't met the new me yet
[Chorus]
E                      B 
 There'll be happiness after me 
C#m7                         B 
   But there was happiness because of me 
E                      B 
 Both of these things, I believe 
         C#m7     B 
There is happiness
[Post-Chorus]
         E    B                    C#m7  B 
In our history, across our great divide 
                    E      B 
There is a glorious sunrise 
                 C#m7 
Dappled with the flickers of light 
         B                         E                 B 
From the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind 
                  C#m7  B 
And there is happiness
[Bridge]
F#m    E        A          B 
I can't make it go away by making you a villain 
F#m    E         A                B 
I guess it's the price I paid for seven years in Heaven 
C#m7                 E 
   And I pulled your body into mine 
      B 
Every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties 
C#m7         E 
   No one teaches you what to do 
       B 
When a good man hurts you
 
And you know you hurt him too
[Verse]
E                 B 
 Honey, when I'm above the trees 
C#m7        B 
   I see it for what it is 
E           B             C#m7                         B                E 
But now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to lay your head 
      B                     C#m7 
After giving you the best I had 
        B                  E 
Tell me what to give after that 
        B                       C#m7              B 
All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness 
    E                      B 
You haven't met the new me yet 
      C#m7                    B 
And I think she'll give you that
[Chorus]
E                      B 
 There'll be happiness after you 
C#m7                          B 
   But there was happiness because of you too 
E                     B 
 Both of these things can be true 
         C#m7     B 
There is happiness
[Post-Chorus]
         E     B                   C#m7  B 
In our history, across our great divide 
                    E      B 
There is a glorious sunrise 
                 C#m7 
Dappled with the flickers of light 
         B                         E                  B 
From the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind 
    C#m7               B 
Oh, leave it all behind 
E                 B 
Leave it all behind 
                      C#m7 
And there is happiness
[Outro]
