F# D#m7 B Happy lives all around the world inside of every boy and girl, yeah F# D#m7 Dollar bills and gold and pearls ain't never B been his style F# D#m7 And happy's always by your side, never not willing B to provide F# D#m7 But if you abuse him for the night, he don't show B for a while Well, happy don't have lies to tell, he doesn't want nothing from no one else and he Never does concern himself with who's right or wrong Happy don't like alcohol, bitterness or cruel at all But when he hears love sing through the wall, well, Happy sings along Chorus: F# D#m7 B My old friend, where has the time gone? F# D#m7 B We were thick as thieves until hate came along F# D#m7 B What a mess, we've gotten into F# D#m7 B Hey, happy, why can't everybody just be F# D#m7 B You? Well, happy sits there patiently in line behind jealousy Waiting on a humble epiphany that your grass might be greener And Happy's never liked the view of "I ain't good enough" Avenue 'Cause you can bet if you don't like you, you don't like Happy neither Chorus: Oh, my old friend, where has the time gone? We were thick as thieves until hate came along What a mess we've gotten into Hey, happy, why can't everybody just be you? F# These days, happy spends his time D#m7 B Beating on the door of most folks' minds F# Knowing he's about to hit his finish line D#m7 B If we don't let him in But that ain't up to him, nah Chorus: My old friend where has the time gone? We were thick as thieves until hate came along What a mess we've gotten into Hey, happy, why can't everybody just be you? Why can't everybody just be you? Why can't everybody just be You?
