Happy Later

Intro 
C   G   Am   F 


[Verso 1]
 
                         C 
I really hate it when I wake up late 
                          G 
Break down crying on the interstate 
                                          Am 
I'm sick of reading articles that say it's just a phase 
                          F 
I hate not knowing how my rent gets paid 
                     C 
Living every moment day by day 
                                           G 
I'm hanging by a thread that never seems to go away 
                                                Am 
All my friends are going out and I'm stuck in my brain 
                        F 
Just waiting for the change 
 


[Refrão]
 
                     C 
I know that I'll be happy later 
                     G 
That's what they always said 
                              Am 
Go work yourself to death it's safer 
                      F 
Even if it makes you sad 
                     C 
They promised I'd be happy later 
                     G 
Built it in a lesson plan 
                          Am 
My life looks pretty good on paper 
        F 
Happy later 
        C 
Happy later 
 


[Verso 2]
 
                          C 
I feel like I would make it thru 
            G 
If this were 1962 
                       Am 
There weren't a lot of choices, all the noises 
               F 
In my head so unimportant 
                      C 
Compared to what it's like right now 
                      G  
They run the show and run me down 
Am 
It looks like everybody else has got it figured out 
F 
All my friends are growing up and I've got growing pains 
   C 
Does that make me insane?

I know that I'll be happy later 
                        G 
That's what they always said 
                          Am 
Go work yourself to death it's safer 
                    F 
Even if it makes you sad 
                       C 
They promised I'd be happy later 
                    G 
Built it in a lesson plan 
                        Am 
My life looks pretty good on paper 
        F 
Happy later 
         C

Wish I was happy now 
Am               F

        F
