Happier Than Ever – clean, simplified

Note: 9 should be add9. ex: C9 = C add 9, as in no 7.

When I’m away from you

I’m happier than ever,

wish I could explain it better,

I wish it wasn’t true.

Give me a day or two

to think of something clever,

to write myself a letter,

to tell me what to do… mm mm.

*add a 7. ex: Ddim is Dm7-5 aka Dm7b5

    Do you… read my interviews?

Or do… you skip my avenue?

When you… said you were passin’ through –

was I *even on your way?

I knew… when I asked you to

be cool… about what I was telling you,

You’d do the opposite of what you said you’d do

and I’d *end up more afraid…

**this should be over the 3. ex: D is D/F#

Don’t say it isn’t fair –

you clearly weren’t aware that you made me misera**ble.

So if you really wanna know…

When I’m away from you

I’m happier than ever,

wish I could explain it better,

I wish it wasn’t true… mm mm.

You call me again,

stuck in your head,

actin’ like you’re a bad influence.

Made me second-guess

but I’m wasting my breath

cuz you only listen to your so-called friends.

I don’t relate to you…

I don’t relate to you, no.

Cuz I’d never make me feel guilty –

you made me blame this city.

And I don’t gossip about you on the internet,

never told anyone anything bad.

Cuz that’s just embarrassing,

you were my everything

and all that you did was make me deeply sad.

So don’t waste the time I don’t have

and don’t try to make me feel bad – I could talk about

every time that you showed up on time

but I’d have an empty line cuz you never did.

Never paid any mind to my mother or friends

so I shut ’em all out for you cuz I was a kid.

You ruined everything good,

always said you were misunderstood,

made all my moments your own,

just go and leave me alone…

woah, yeh.
