                G
What would you say to me
                 Bm
If I told you I had a dream
              Em
If I told you everything
                      C
Would you tell me to go back to sleep

Take a look in these tired eyes
They’re coming back to life
I know I can change, got hope in my veins
I tell you I ain’t going back to the pain

Chorus:
          G
Can I be happy now?
           Bm
Can I let my breath out
         Em
Let me believe I’m building a dream
               C
Don’t try to drag me down
                G
I just wanna scream out loud
          Bm
Can I be happy now?
                 Em
Went down on my knees I learned how to bleed
                C
I’m turning my world around

Can I be happy now
Can I break free somehow
I just wanna live again, Love again
Take my pride off off of the ground

I'm ready to pick a fight
Crawl out of the dark to shine a light
I ain't throwing stones got sins of my own
Ain't everbody just trying to find a way home

Chorus

        Am                         D
You’re born and you die, and it’s gone in a minute
   G                            Am
I ain’t looking back, ’cause I don’t wanna miss it
     Am
You better live now
       D                     Em      Bm
Cause noone’s gonna get out alive - alive

Chorus

          G       Bm Em
Can I be happy now
                C
I’m turning my world around
          G
Can I be happy now?
