 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?
