[Intro]
Bm D
Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been thinking
G
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

[Verse 1]
Bm
When the morning comes
D
When we see what we’ve become
G
In the cold light of day we’re a flame in the wind
Not the fire that we’ve begun
D
Every argument, every word we can’t take back

‘Cause with the all that has happened
G
I think that we both know the way that the story ends

[Chorus]
Bm D
Then only for a minute
G
I want to change my mind
‘Cause this just don’t feel right to me
Bm D
I want to raise your spirits
G
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I’ll have to leave
Bm D

Know that means I’ll have to leave
Bm D
Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been thinking
G Em
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

[Verse 2]
D
When the evening falls

And I’m left there with my thoughts
G
And the image of you being with someone else
Em
Well, that’s eating me up inside
A Bm D
But we run our course, we pretended we’re okay
G
Now if we jump together at least we can swim
Far away from the wreck we made

[Chorus]
Bm D
Then only for a minute
G
I want to change my mind
‘Cause this just don’t feel right to me
Bm D
I want to raise your spirits
G
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I’ll have to leave

A
Know that means I’ll have to leave

Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been thinking

I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier

So I’ll go, I’ll go

I will go, go, go
G D
So I’ll go, I’ll go
A
I will go, go, go

Bm D
Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been thinking

I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
