Tell Me Its Okay
[Capo 2]
[Verse 1]
D Bm
Maybe it's been years since I've genuinely smiled
D Bm A
And maybe it's been years since I've wanted to be a part of anything
D Bm
But lately I've been good, you know, I've actually been great
D
Man, I even laughed a little today
Bm A
It's so strange, it's so strange
[Chorus]
D Bm
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
A
Because I'm happy now
D Bm
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
A
Because I'm happy now
D Bm A
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay
[Verse 2]
D Bm
I thought it was my right to be as sorry as I wanted to be
D Bm A
I wasted all my teenage years being a misery factory
D Bm
But something had to give, I had to finally see the light
D Bm A
I think at twenty-three It's time to practice what I preach, and what I'm preaching
[Chorus]
D Bm
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
A
Because I'm happy now
D Bm
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
A
Because I'm happy now
D Bm A
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay
[Bridge]
G D
All my wasted hope
Bm A
I let go when I shoulda held tighter
G D
And now when it flames out
Bm
I let it burn
A D (let ring)
I'm not afraid to feel it shine on me
D Bm A
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay
D Bm A
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay
[Chorus]
D Bm
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
A
Because I'm happy now
D Bm
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
A
My life is finally leveling out so

D Bm
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
A
Because I'm happy now
D Bm
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
A
My life is finally leveling out so

Double Chorus Part 2
and it ends clean. No holding out the note.
Maybe it's been years since I genuinely smiled
Maybe it's been years since I wanted to be a part of anything
But lately I've been good you know I've actually been great
Man, I even laughed a little today, aw so strange, so strange
Tell me it's okay to be happy now, because I'm happy now
Tell me it's okay
Thought it as my right to be as sorry as I wanted to be
I wasted all my teenage years being a misery factory
But something had to give I had to finally see the light
I think at 23 it's time to practice what I preach
And what I preach is:
All my wasted hope, I let go when I should've held tighter
And now when the sun is out, I let it burn, not afraid to feel it shine on me
Tell me it's okay
Tell me it's okay to be happy now, because I'm happy now
Tell me it's okay to be happy now, my life is finally leveling out, so
Tell me it's okay

Maybe it's been years since I genuinely smiled
Maybe it's been years since I wanted to be a part of anything
But lately I've been good you know I've actually been great
Man, I even laughed a little today, aw so strange, so strange
Tell me it's okay to be happy now, because I'm happy now
Tell me it's okay
Thought it as my right to be as sorry as I wanted to be
I wasted all my teenage years being a misery factory
But something had to give I had to finally see the light
I think at 23 it's time to practice what I preach
And what I preach is:
All my wasted hope, I let go when I should've held tighter
And now when the sun is out, I let it burn, not afraid to feel it shine on me
Tell me it's okay
Tell me it's okay to be happy now, because I'm happy now
Tell me it's okay to be happy now, my life is finally leveling out, so
Tell me it's okay
