These are the chords for Happy Instead by Zach Bryan on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard
[Intro]
C G Am C/B C
[Verse 1]
C G
Well, I've been pacin'
Am C/B C
this room for forty hours
C G
Crawlin' up the wall
Am C/B C
and tryin' not to call
C G
And I saw you walking
Am C/B C
in a supermarket aisle
C G
I didn't say a word 'cause
Am C/B C
you had the biggest smile
[Verse 2]
C G
And I've been thinkin'
Am C/B C
of you in the morning times
C G
You woke me up so soft that
Am C/B C
I forgot the world ain't kind
C G Am
I pull you in and you kissed
C/B C
me through a grin
C G
And you say you missed me when
Am C/B C
you were busy sleepin'

[Chorus]
F C
But what if I'd said happy instead
G
Is the way that
Am
I reckon it should be
F
And if you called you'd
C
say that you're okay
G Am
And I'd be wishin' I was there
F C
'Cause you're happy instead
G Am
Happy instead
[Verse 3]
C G
And I've been dreamin' of
Am C/B C
the life we would have had
C G Am C/B C
Happy at times but mostly just mad
C G
Maybe it'd worked out,
Am C/B C
maybe it'd be fine
C G
But every day your smile ain't
Am C/B C
showin', seems a waste of time
[Chorus]
F C
But what if I'd said happy instead
G
Is the way that
Am
I reckon it should be
F
And if you called you'd
C
say that you're okay
G Am
And I'd be wishin' I was there
F C
'Cause you're happy instead
G Am
Happy instead

[Verse 4]
C G
It's been ten years,
Am C/B C
I hadn't called you once
C G
When you called last night
Am C/B C
and my child up and jumped
C G
He asked who you were
Am C/B C
and you did the same
C G
Handed me the phone and
Am C/B C
I couldn't recall your name
[Chorus]
F C
But what if I'd said happy instead
G
Is the way that
Am
I reckon I should be
F
And if you called you'd
C
hear that I'm okay
G Am
And you'd be wishin' you was there
F C
'Cause I'm happy instead
G Am
Happy instead
F C
Oh, I'm happy instead
G Am
Happy instead
[Outro]
F C
What if I'd said happy instead
G Am
Is the way that I reckon I should be
F
And if you called you'd
C
hear that I'm okay
G Am
And you'd be wishin' you was dead
F C G Am
'Cause I'm happy instead
