[Intro 1]
[C][G][Am][G][C][G][Am][G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Well, I've been
[G]pacing this [Am]room for [G]forty [C]hours
Crawling up [G]the walls and
try[Am]ing n[G]ot t[C]o call
And I [G]saw you walking in
a su[Am]permar[C]ket aisle
I didn't [G]say a word 'cause you
[Am]had the [G]biggest [C]smile
And I've been [G]thinking of you
in the morning [C]time
You woke me [G]up so soft,
I for[Am]got the w[G]orld ain't k[C]ind
I'd [G]pull you in and you'd kiss
[Am]me t[G]hrough a[C] grin
And you'd [G]say you missed me when
you were [Am]busy [G]sleeping
[C]

[Verse 2]
But what if [F]I said, happy in[C]stead
Is [G]the way that I reckon it [Am]should be
And if you'd [F]call,
you'd say that [C]you're okay
And [G]I'd be wishing I was [Am]there
'Cause you're happy [F]instead,
[C]happy in [G]stead

[Verse 3]
[Am]And I've[C] been drea[G]ming
[Am]of the life we woulda [C]had
Happy [G]at times but [Am]mostly [G]just [C]mad
Maybe [G]it'll worked out,
maybe [Am]it'd [G]been [C]fine
But every day [G]your smile ain't
showing [Am]seems a [G]waste [C]of time

[Verse 4]
[C]So what if [F]I said, happy in[C]stead
Is [G]the way that I reckon it [Am]should be
And if you'd [F]call,
you'd say that [C]you're okay
And [G]I'd be wishing I was [Am]there
'Cause you're happy in[F]stead,
[C]happy in [G]ste[Am]ad

[Verse 5]
[Am]And [C]it's been ten ye[G]ars,
[Am]I haven't called [C]you once
But you called last [G]night and my
[Am]child [G]up [C]and jumped
He asked who [G]you were and
[Am]you [G]did [C]the same
Handed [G]me the phone and I
[Am]couldn't recall your name
[C]

[Verse 6]
What if [F]I said, happy in[C]stead
Is [G]the way that I reckon I [Am]should be
And if you'd [F]call,
you'll hear that [C]I was okay
And [G]you'd be wishing you
[Am]was there
'Cause I'm happy in[F]stead,
[C]happy in [G]stead
[Am]Oh, I'm happy instea[F]d[C]
Happy [G]in stead
[Am]

[Verse 7]
What if I [F]said, happy in[C]stead
Is [G]the way that I reckon I should [Am]be
And if you [F]call, you'd hear [G]that [C]I'm okay
And [G]you'd be wishing you
was [Am]there
'Cause I'm [F]happy [F]instead
[C][G]
