F#
Stop fucking around with my emotions
                              D#m
I like you better when you're numb
                              F#
I'm sick and tired of false devotion
                          D#m
Devote yourself to moving on
Or suck it up and let it go
           G#             B
But you're always out to get me

Chorus:
F#
You're the snake hidden in my daffodils
when I'm picking flowers
D#m
That's just my luck these days
Why can't you just be happy for me?
F#
You're the break lines failing as
my car swerves off the freeway
D#m
It kind of feels like sabotage
Why can't you just be happy for
E                               F#
Why can't you just be happy for me?

You think opinions make you savvy
(Like you're some kind of expert)
Your running mouth falls on deaf ears
You say you're winning 'cause you're laughing
Well, I'm crying crocodile tears
Just suck it up and let it go

But you're always out to get me

Chorus:
You're the snake hidden in my daffodils when
I'm picking flowers
That's just my luck these days
Why can't you just be happy for me?
You're the brake lights failing
as my car swerves off the freeway
It kind of feels like sabotage
Why can't you just be happy for
Why can't you just be happy for me?
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na (Why can't you just be happy for)

Why can't you just be happy for

F#                              D#m
Why can't you just be happy for me?
I'll never be good enough no,
I'll never be good enough
F#                              D#m
Why can't you just be happy for me?
I'll never be good enough no,
I'll never be good enough
           G#             B
But you're always out to get me

Chorus:
You're the snake hidden in my daffodils when
I'm picking flowers
That's just my luck these days
Why can't you just be happy for me?
You're the brake lights failing as my
car swerves off the freeway
It kind of feels like sabotage
Why can't you just be happy for
Why can't you just be happy for me?
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
(Stop fucking around with my emotions)
Na na na na na
Na na na na na (Why can't you just be happy for)
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
(Stop fucking around with my emotions)
Na na na na na
Na na na na na (Why can't you just be happy for me?)
