Zach Bryan - Happy Instead: Guitar Chords

       C         G           Am       C/B    C
Well, I've been pacin' this room for forty hours
  C              G         Am   C/B     C
Crawlin' up the wall and tryin' not to call
    C          G            Am   C/B    C
And I saw you walking in a supermarket aisle
   C            G              Am       C/B      C
I didn't say a word 'cause you had the biggest smile

And I've been thinkin' of you in the morning times
You woke me up so soft that I forgot the world ain't kind
I pull you in and you kissed me through a grin
And you say you missed me when you were busy sleepin'

Chorus:
                 F             C
But what if I'd said happy instead
        G                          Am
Is the way that I reckon it should be
            F                     C
And if you called you'd say that you're okay
     G                    Am
And I'd be wishin' I was there
                    F     C
'Cause you're happy instead
          G  Am
Happy instead

And I've been dreamin' of the life we would have had
Happy at times but mostly just mad
Maybe it'd worked out, maybe it'd be fine
But every day your smile ain't showin', seems a waste of time

Chorus:
So what if I'd said happy instead
Is the way that I reckon it should be
And if you called you'd say that you're okay
And I'd be wishin' I was there
'Cause you're happy instead
Happy instead

It's been ten years, I hadn't called you once
When you called last night and my child up and jumped
He asked who you were and you did the same
Handed me the phone and I couldn't recall your name

Chorus:
What if I'd said happy instead
Is the way that I reckon I should be
And if you called you'd hear that I was okay
And you'd be wishin' you was there
'Cause I'm happy instead
Happy instead
Oh, I'm happy instead
Happy instead

What if I'd said happy instead
Is the way that I reckon I should be
And if you called you'd hear that I'm okay
And you'd be wishin' you was dead
'Cause I'm happy instead
