Taylor Swift – Happiness Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Intro]
E B E B

[Verse 1]
B                   E 
Honey, when I'm above 
        B
the trees
           E            B
I see this for what it is
            C#                
But now I'm right down in it, 
      B
all the years I've given
        E                   B
Is just shit we're dividin' up
           C#     
Showed you all of 
          B
my hiding spots
      E            
I was dancing when 
          B
the music stopped
           C#         
And in the disbelief, 
  B            B
I can't face reinvention
B                            E
I haven't met the new me yet

[Chorus]
B                     G#m
There'll be happiness after you
B                       E
But there was happiness because 
of you
B                    G#m
Both of these things can be true
         B
There is happiness

[Post-Chorus]
E              B
Past the blood and bruise
C#m                 B
Past the curses and cries
E                 
Beyond the terror 
       B
in the nightfall
C#m7           B
Haunted by the look in my eyes
              E
That would've loved you 
for a lifetime
B
Leave it all behind
C#m7                   B
And there is happiness

[Verse 2]
E                 
Tell me, when did 
     B             C#m7
your winning smile
         B                  E
Begin to look like a smirk?
         B               
When did all our lessons 
         C#m7      Em
start to look like weapons
B                     E
Pointed at my deepest hurt?
B                
I hope she'll be 
               C#m7
your beautiful fool
B                         E
Who takes my spot next to you
      B
No, I didn't mean that
         C#m7            
Sorry, I can't see facts 
        B
through all of my fury
    E           
You haven't met 
         B     C#m7 B
the new me yet

[Chorus]
E                     B
There'll be happiness after me
C#m7                    B
But there was happiness because 
of me
E                     B
Both of these things, I believe
         C#m7
There is happiness

[Post-Chorus]
B        E      B      
In our history, across 
          C#m7
our great divide
B                   E
There is a glorious sunrise
B                C#m7
Dappled with the flickers 
of light
         B               
From the dress I wore at 
          E
midnight, leave it all behind
B                     C#m7 B
And there is happiness

[Bridge]
F#m   E         C#m     
I can't make it go away 
   B
by making you a villain
F#m   E          A       
I guess it's the price I 
         B
paid for seven years in Heaven
C#m               E
And I pulled your body into mine
      B              
Every goddamn night, 
                       C#m
now I get fake niceties
            E
No one teaches you what to do
       B
When a good man hurts you

And you know you hurt him, too

[Verse 3]
E               B     
Honey, when I'm above 
         C#m7
the trees
         B             E
I see it for what it is
           B              C#m7    
But now my eyes leak acid rain on 
                     B    
the pillow where you used 
               E
to lay your head
      B                     C#m7
After giving you the best I had
        B                    E
Tell me what to give after that
        B                   
All you want from me now is 
    C#m7              B
the green light of forgiveness
E                            B
You haven't met the new me yet
C#m7                           B
And I think she'll give you that

[Chorus]
E                     B
There'll be happiness after you
C#m7          Em        
But there was happiness 
B               E
because of you, too
                     B
Both of these things can be true
         C#m
There is happiness

[Post-Chorus]
B        E      B      
In our history, across 
          C#m7
our great divide
B                   E
There is a glorious sunrise
B                C#m
Dappled with the flickers 
of light
         B               
From the dress I wore at 
          E                 B
midnight, leave it all behind
C#m                   B
Oh, leave it all behind
E
Leave it all behind
B
And there is happiness
