I used to live in a darkened room

Lost my hope I was so far gone

Cryin’ all my tears
A D
With the curtains drawn
F Am
I didn’t know until my soul broke free
F G G G [no strum]
I’ve got these angels watching over me.
Chorus:
G D A D
Ohhh, watch me go

Everybody knows
G D A D
That the sweetest thing you’ll ever see
G D
In the whole wide world
A D
Is a happy girl
Verse 2:
G D A D
I used to hide in a party crowd
G D
Bottled up inside
A D
Feeling so left out
G D A D
Standing in the corner wearing concrete shoes
G D
With a frozen smile
A D
And a lighted fuse
F Am
Now every time I start to feel like that
F G G G [no strum]
I roll my heart out like a welcome mat
Chorus:
G D A D
Ohhhh watch me go
G D
I’m a happy girl

Everybody knows
G D A D
That the sweetest thing you’ll ever see
G D
In the whole wide world
A D
Is a happy girl
Bridge:

Laugh when I, feel like it
Am E
Cry when I, feel like it
Am E
That’s just how, my life is
Am G
That’s how it goes
…………………..
G D A D
Ohhh watch me go
G D
I’m a happy girl
A D
And I’ve come to know
G D
That’s the world won’t change
A D
Just ‘cause I complain
G D
Let the axis twirl
G D
I’m a happy girl
Chorus
Ending:
G A
Oh yeah
G D
Oh yeah
A D
I’m a happy girl
