[Intro]
Bm                           D/F# 
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking 
                 G 
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
[Strophe]
                 Bm 
When the morning comes 
                         D/F# 
When we see what we've become 
                                 G 
In the cold light of day we're a flame in the wind 

Not the fire that we've begun 
          D/F# 
Every argument, every word we can't take back 

'Cause with the all that has happened 
  G 
I think that we both know the way that the story ends
[Refrain]
     Bm                 D/F# 
Then only for a minute 
                    G 
I want to change my mind 
  
'Cause this just don't feel right to me 
  Bm                          D/F# 
I want to raise your spirits 
                  G 
I want to see you smile but
 
Know that means I'll have to leave 
Bm D/F# 
  
G 
Know that means I'll have to leave 
Bm                           D/F# 
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking 
                 G                         Em 
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
[Strophe]
D/F# 
When the evening falls 
  
And I'm left there with my thoughts 
                           G 
And the image of you being with someone else 
                          Em 
Well, that's eating me up inside 
A              Bm                         D/F# 
But we run our course, we pretended we're okay 
                           G 
Now if we jump together at least we can swim  
 
Far away from the wreck we made
[Refrain]
     Bm                   D/F# 
Then only for a minute 
                    G 
I want to change my mind 
 
'Cause this just don't feel right to me 
  Bm                            D/F# 
I want to raise your spirits 
                  G 
I want to see you smile but 
 
Know that means I'll have to leave  
Bm D/F# G 
  
                     A 
Know that means I'll have to leave 
Bm      A                    D/F# 
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking 
                 G                         D/F# 
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
[Pont]
        G        D/F# 
So I'll go, I'll go 
           A   Bm 
I will go, go, go 
        G        D/F# 
So I'll go, I'll go 
       A 
I will go, go, go

Even though I might not like this 
                       G                         Em         A
