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. 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. 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 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.
