You Could Be Happy by Snow Patrol
You Could Be Happy
Capo 10
G D C
You could be happy and I won't know
G D C
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
G D C
And all the things that I wish I had not said
G D C
Are played on lips 'til it's madness in my head
Am G C
Is it too late to remind you how we were?
Am G C
But not our last days of silent, screaming blur
Am G C
Most of what I remember makes me sure
G D C
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
G D C
You could be happy, I hope you are
G D C
You made me happier than I'd been by far
G D C
Somehow everything I own smells of you
G D C
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Am G C
Do the things that you always wanted to
Am G C
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
Am G C
More than anything I want to see you go
G D C
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

version 4
This song is actually played with a keyboard or xylophone, but you can pluck it or
strum it however you feel comfortable. If you want to play in key with the
actual song, use a Capo on III. I like to play the G on the 1st and 3rd verses like this:
e--3---|
B--3---|
G--4---|
D------|
A------|
E------|
And on the 2nd and 4th verse as a 6 string bar chord, naturally progressing from
the F#m bar chord.
Intro: D Dmaj7 G
D Dmaj7 G
You could be happy and I won’t know
D Dmaj7 G
But you weren’t happy the day I watched you go
D Dmaj7 G
And all the things that I wish I had not said
D Dmaj7 G
All played in lips til it’s madness in my head
Em F#m G
Is it too late to remind you of how we were?
Em F#m G
And not our last days of silence, scream, and blur?
Em F#m G
Most of what I remember, makes me sure
Em F#m G
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
D Dmaj7 G
You could be happy, I hope you are
D Dmaj7 G
You made me happier than I’ve been by far
D Dmaj7 G
Somehow everything I own, smells of you
D Dmaj7 G
And for the tiniest moment, it’s all not true
Em F#m G
Do the things that you always wanted to
Em F#m G
Without me there to hold you back, don’t think just do
Em F#m G
More than anything I want to see you go
Em F#m G
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
D Dmaj7 G – fade to black….
