If It Makes You Happy
(Sheryl Crow/Jeff Trott)
Intro - G Gsus4 G Gsus4 X2
G Gsus4
I've been long, along way from here
G Gsus4
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
G C
And drank 'til I was thirsty again
G Gsus4
We went searching through thrift store jungles
G Gsus4
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
G 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
[Chorus]
N.C Am
If it makes you happy
C G D
It can't be that bad
Am
If it makes you happy
C G
Then why the hell are you so sad
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
You get down, real low down
You listen to coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed,
Scrape the mold off the bread,
And serve you french toast again
Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
Chorus X 2
(ending with:)
C Em
then why the hell are you so sad

We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?
Chorus
