D#m  G#        F#
I'm not like them
B             D#m
But I can pretend
G#          F#
The sun is gone
    B         D#m
But I have a light
G#          F#
The day is done
    B          D#m
But I'm having fun
G#           F#
I think I'm dumb
B             D#m
Or maybe just happy

Chorus:
F#                D#m
  Think I'm just happy
F#                D#m
  Think I'm just happy
F#                D#m  F#
  Think I'm just happy

My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover

Chorus:
Have a hangover
Have a hangover
Have a hangover

A#          B
Skin the sun
Fall asleep
A#
Wish away
B
The soul is cheap
A#
Lesson learned
B
Wish me luck
A#
Soothe the burn
B
Wake me up

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy

Chorus:
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
