Intro: G5

G
I've been long, a long way from here

Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
                             C
And drank til I was thirsty again
  G
We went searching through thrift store jungles

Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
                            C
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen

                       D
Well, o.k. I made this up
        C                 D
I promised you I'd never give up

                  Am      C
If it makes you happy
                 G        D
It can't be that bad
                  Am      C
If it makes you happy
              G
are you so sad

          G
You get down, real low down

You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
                       C
Well who hasn't been there before?
             G
I come round, around the hard way

Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
                            C
And serve you french toast again

                       D
Well, o.k. I made this up
        C                 D
I promised you I'd never give up

                 Am      C
If it makes you happy
                 G        D
It can't be that bad
                  Am      C
If it makes you happy
                          Em
Then why the hell are you so sad

G
We've been far, far away from here

Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
                   C
And everywhere in between
                       D
Well, o.k., we get along
         C                 D
So what if right now everything's wrong?

                  Am  C
If it makes you happy
                 G  D
It can't be that bad
                  Am  C
If it makes you happy
              G
are you so sad
