B                E
Honey, when I'm above the trees
B           E
I see this for what it is
B            C#m7
But now I'm right down in it,
         B
all the years I've given
          E                 B
Is just shit we're dividin' up
           C#m7               B
Showed you all of my hiding spots
       E                       B
I was dancing when the music stopped
           C#m7          B              E
And in the disbelief, I can't face reinvention
   B                      E B E
I haven't met the new me yet

Chorus:
B                     E
There'll be happiness after you
B                          C#m7
But there was happiness because of you
B                     C#m7
Both of these things can be true
          B       E
There is happiness

                     B   C#m7
Past the blood and bruise
                      B  E
Past the curses and cries
                          D#m     C#m7
Beyond the terror in the nightfall
                B
Haunted by the look in my eyes
               E
That would've loved you for a lifetime
B               C#m7
Leave it all behind
                   B
And there is happiness

Tell me, when did your winning smile
Begin to look like a smirk?
When did all our lessons start to look like weapons
Pointed at my deepest hurt?
I hope she'll be a beautiful fool
Who takes my spot next to you
No, I didn't mean that
Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury
You haven't met the new me yet

Chorus:
There'll be happiness after me
But there was happiness because of me
Both of these things, I believe
There is happiness

In our history, across our great divide
There is a glorious sunrise
Dappled with the flickers of light
From the dress I wore at midnight,
leave it all behind
And there is happiness

F#m    E         A          B
I can't make it go away by making you a villain
F#m    E           A               B
I guess it's the price I paid for seven years in Heaven
C#m7               E
And I pulled your body into mine
       B
Every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties
C#m7     E
No one teaches you what to do
        B
When a good man hurts you
And you know you hurt him too

Honey, when I'm above the trees
I see it for what it is
But now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow
where you used to lay your head
After giving you the best I had
Tell me what to give after that
All you want from me now is
the green light of forgiveness
You haven't met the new me yet
And I think she'll give you that

Chorus:
There'll be happiness after you
But there was happiness because of you too
Both of these things can be true
There is happiness

In our history, across our great divide
There is a glorious sunrise
Dappled with the flickers of light
From the dress I wore at midnight,
leave it all behind
Oh, leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
And there is happiness
