Many Happy Returns Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]When[D] I accepted this job[Em]
[D]I was resigned to [Em]my fat[D]e
When I got [Em]there [D]early
[Em]She`d arrive late
[D]You can say she[Em]`s gone for[D]ever
Or just sit tight [Em]and wait
[D]She said I was unpri[Bm]ncipled
[Em]That I was not t[D]he first

[Verse 2]
Like the [Em]Phoenix coming [Asus4]back[A]
[D]From the [Em]ashes, [A]uh- [D]huh
I [C]know what`s [Em]good,[A]
But I [D]know what [Em]trash [A]is
[D]In the head- [Em]lights,
In the high[Asus4]lights of[D] her ha[Em]ir...[A]
[D]Hit the head [Em]lines[A][Asus4]
[A]But [D]she[Em]`s not the[A]re:[D]
Many happy returns [Em]Many

[Verse 3]
happy returns
These are [D]the lessons
I could have learned
Return. [Em]Many happy returns
And these are [D]the letters
I should [Em]have burned

[Verse 4]
Okay, I`m sad, not [Em]blue
Okay, remember
All that matters to me [D]now[Em]
Is the message I sent [D]her
Like [Em]the world, spin[A]ning

[Verse 5]
[D]`round
On its [Em]axis, uh- [A]huh
[D]I kno[Em]w democracy
[A]But[Asus4] I know what`s [D]fascist[Em][A][D]
[Em]When she`s gone, [A]all I got to [D]learn
Is the [Em]law of dimini[A]shing [D]return
[Em]When [D]she`s here,
one [Asus4]thing I`v[D]e found
[Em]Things get better [A]second
time around
[D]Many happy return

[Verse 6]
[Em]s
Many happy returns
[D]These are the lessons
I could have learned
Return. [Em]Many happy returns
And these are [D]the letters I should
[Em]have burned

[Verse 7]
Okay I`m sad, [Em]not blue
Okay, remember
All that matters to me now
[D]Is the mes[Esus4] sage I s[D]ent her[Em]
[D]Now[C]

[Verse 8]

gone, she`s gone away
[Em]Now [C]she`[Em]s go[Bm]ne forget her[Em]
