[INTRO]
Am F C
Am F C

[VERSE]
Am F C
Walking down 29th and Park
Am F C
I saw you in another’s arms
Am F C
Only a month we’ve been apart
Am F C
You look happier
Am F C
Saw you walk inside a bar
Am F C
He said something to make you laugh
Am F C
I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours
Am F C
Yeah, you look happier, you do

[PRE-CHORUS]
Am F C
Ain’t nobody hurt you like I hurt you
Am F C
But ain’t nobody love you like I do
Am F C
Promise that I will not take it personal, baby
Am F C
If you’re moving on with someone new

[CHORUS]
Am F C
Cause baby you look happier, you do
Am F C
My friends told me one day I’d feel it too
Am F C
And until then I’ll smile to hide the truth
Am F C
But I know I was happier with you

[VERSE]
Am F C
Sat in the corner of the room
Am F C
Everything’s reminding me of you
Am F C Am
Nursing an empty bottle and telling myself you’re happier
F C
Aren’t you?

[PRE-CHORUS]
Am F C
Ain’t nobody hurt you like I hurt you
Am F C
But ain’t nobody need you like I do
Am F C
I know that there’s others that deserve you
Am F C
But my darling, I am still in love with you

[CHORUS]
Am F C
But I guess you look happier, you do
Am F C
My friends told me one day I’ll feel it too
Am F C
I could try to smile to hide the truth
Am F C
But I know I was happier with you

Heya heya heya
Am F C x4

[OUTRO]
Am F C
Baby, you look happier, you do
Am F C
I knew one day you’d fall for someone new
Am F C
But if he breaks your heart like lovers do
Am F C
Just know that I’ll be waiting here for you
