Standard (EADGBE)

Joy is over there in her incredible clothes

She has silver silk shimmering down to her toes

I was doing the best that I can I suppose

But that little girl dancer eventually grows

Well she grows

(Repeat throughout )

You can’t imagine all the times that I tried

To uncover the source of the tears that you cried

“Lets throw it away and just go for a ride”

And you’d say “ok” but you’d keep it inside

And I tried

I tried

I tried

I tried

Chorus

We want you to be happy

( cont.)

Don’t live inside the gloom

We want you to be happy

( cont.)

Come step outside your room

We want you to be happy

( cont.)

Cause this is your song too

I never thought I could have it so good

You were the song that my soul understood

That time is a river that flows through the woods

And it lead us to places we both understood

Would be gone

Before to long

Would be gone

Before to long

When we were young we thought life was a game

But then somebody leaves you and your never the same

All of the places and people belong to the puzzle

But one of the pieces is gone

And it’s you

It’s you

It’s you

Joy, its you

We want you to be happy

Don’t live inside the gloom

We want you to be happy

Come step outside your room

We want you to be happy

Cause this is your song too

(solo)

Anytime we’ll weather this storm

Inside together you’ll see the change

When the sun shines through

We want you to be happy

Don’t live inside the gloom

We want you to be happy

Come step outside your room

We want you to be happy

Cause this is your song too

This is your song too

This is your song too

This is your song too

This is your song too

This is your song too

This is your song too

This is your song too

This is your song too
