Tom : F
Bb C Dm C F C Bb
[Verse]
Bb
When the morning comes
C Dm
When we see what we've become
F
In the cold light of day we're a flame in the wind
Bb
Not the fire that we've begun
C Dm
Every argument, every word we can't take back
Dm
'Cause with the all that has happened
F Bb
I think that we both know the way that the story ends
[Chorus]
Bb C Dm
Then only for a minute
C F
I want to change my mind
Bb
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
C Dm
I want to raise your spirits
Am F
I want to see you smile but
Bb
Know that means I'll have to leave
[Post-Chorus]
Bb
mmm .. mmm .. mmm .. mmm .. mmm
Dm
mmm .. mmm .. mmm .. mmm .. mmm
F
oh .. oh .. oh .. oh .. oh
Bb
oh .. oh .. oh .. oh .. oh
Bb Dm
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
Dm F Bb
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
[Verse]
Bb
When the evening falls
Bb Dm
And I'm left there with my thoughts
Dm F
And the image of you being with someone else
F Bb
Well, that's eating me up inside
Bb C Dm
But we run our course, we pretended we're okay
Dm F
Now if we jump together at least we can swim
F Bb
Far away from the wreck we made
[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus]
Bb C
oh .. oh .. oh .. oh .. oh
Dm
oh .. oh .. oh .. oh .. oh
F
oh .. oh .. oh .. oh .. oh
Bb
oh .. oh .. oh .. oh .. oh
Bb C Dm
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
F Bb
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
[Bridge]
Dm C
So I'll go, I'll go
F Bb
I will go, go, go
Dm C
Yea I'll go, I'll go
F Bb
I will go, go, go
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
F Bb
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
Dm C
Even though I might not like this
F Bb
I think that you'll be happier, I want you to be happier
[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus]
