Am7            F               C
Walking down twenty ninth and park
Am7       F            C
I saw you in another’s arms,
Am7     F                 C
Only a month we’ve been apart,
          Am7   F C
You look happier.

Am7      F             C
Saw you walk inside a bar,
Am7           F                C
He said something to make you laugh,
Am7         F
I saw that both your smiles
       C
Were twice as wide as ours,
                Am7    F      C
Yeah, you look happier, you do.

   Am7           F
   Ain’t nobody hurt you
           C
   Like I hurt you,
       Am7           F
   But ain’t nobody love you
           C
   Like I do,
   Am7             F
   Promise that I will not
            C
   Take it personal, baby,
 Am7                F
   If you’re moving on
                 C
   With someone new.

Chorus:
     ‘Cause, baby,
              Am7  F        C
     You look happier, you do,
     My friends told me
         Am7       F        C
     One day I’ll feel it too,
                          Am7
     And until then I’ll smile
          F         C
     And hide the truth,
     But I know,
           Am7  F         C
     I was happier with you.

                  Am7
   (Heya, heya, heya.)

Sat in the corner of the room,
Everything’s reminding me of you,
Nursing an empty bottle and telling myself
You’re happier, aren’t you?

                  Am7
   (Heya, heya, heya.)

   Am7           F
   Ain’t nobody hurt you
           C
   Like I hurt you,
       Am7           F
   But ain’t nobody love you
           C
   Like I do,
   Am7             F
   Promise that I will not
            C
   Take it personal, baby,
 Am7                F
   If you’re moving on
                 C
   With someone new.

Chorus:
     But I guess
              Am7  F        C
     You look happier, you do,
     My friends told me
         Am7       F        C
     One day I’ll feel it too,
                          Am7
     And until then I’ll smile
          F         C
     And hide the truth,
     But I know,
           Am7  F         C
     I was happier with you.

                  Am7 F C
   Heya, heya, heya.
                  Am7 F C
   Heya, heya, heya.
                  Am7 F C
   Heya, heya, heya.
                  Am7 F C
   Heya, heya, heya.

Chorus:
    C
     ‘Cause, baby,
              Am   F        C
     You look happier, you do,
                Am
     I knew one day
            F        C
     You’d fall for someone new,
                 G
     But if he breaks
           Am         F      C
     Your heart like lovers do,
     Just know that
     G       Am       F        C
     I’ll be waiting here for you.
