If It Makes You Happy

	  		Intro: G5 

G 
I've been long, a long way from here 

Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos, 
                             C 
And drank til I was thirsty again 
  G 
We went searching through thrift store jungles 

Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo 
                            C 
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen 

      G                  D 
Well, o.k. I made this up 
        C                 D 
I promised you I'd never give up 

                  Am      C 
If it makes you happy 
                 G        D 
It can't be that bad 
                  Am      C 
If it makes you happy 
              G        D 
are you so sad 

          G 
You get down, real low down 

You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train 
                       C 
Well who hasn't been there before? 
             G 
I come round, around the hard way 

Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread 
                            C 
And serve you french toast again 

      G                  D 
Well, o.k. I made this up 
        C                 D 
I promised you I'd never give up 

                 Am      C 
If it makes you happy 
                 G        D 
It can't be that bad 
                  Am      C 
If it makes you happy 
                          G 
Then why the hell are you so sad 

G 
We've been far, far away from here 

Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos 
                   C 
And everywhere in between 
       G                 D 
Well, o.k., we get along 
         C                 D 
So what if right now everything's wrong? 

                  Am  C 
If it makes you happy 
                 G  D 
It can't be that bad 
                  Am  C 
If it makes you happy 
              G  D 
are you so sad
