Happy To Be Here by Julien Baker
Happy To Be Here
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:F
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
C F C F
[Verse 1]
C F
If I could do what I want
C F
I would become an electrician
C F
I'd climb inside my ears
Dm F C
And I would rearrange the wires in my brain
F C F
A different me would be inhabiting this body
C F
I'd have two cars, a garage, a job
Dm F
And I would go to church on Sunday
C F C
A diagram of faulty circuitry
F C
Explains how I was made
F Dm
And now the engineer is listening
F C
As I voice all my complaints
F Dm F C
From an orchestra of shaking metal keeping me awake
F Dm F C
I was just wondering if there's any way that you made a mistake
[Interlude]
F C F C F Dm F
[Chorus 1]
Dm F
Because I miss you the way that I miss nicotine
Dm F
If it makes me feel better, how bad could it be?
Dm F
Well I heard there's a fix for everything
Dm F
Then why, then why, then why
C
Then why not me?
[Interlude]
F Dm F
[Verse]
C F C F
The 1st of April saw the sickening repair
C F Dm F
Wore my best shirt to the clinic decorated with a laminate name
C F C F C
No one is laughing from an audience of folding plastic chairs
F Dm F C
And I'm not fooled when you tell me that you're glad I came
F C F
Am I honest to admit or just a hypocrite?
C F Dm F C
I know I should be being optimistic but I'm doubtful I can change
F C F
Grit my teeth and try to act deserving
C F Dm
When I know there is nowhere I can hide
F C
From your humiliating grace
[Interlude]
F C F C F Dm F
[Chorus 2]
Dm
Because if you swear that it's true
F
Then I have to believe
Dm F
What I hear evangelicals say on TV
Dm F
And if there's enough left after everyone else
Dm F
Then why, then why, then why
C F
Why noooot meeeee?
[Outro]
Dm F

If I could do what I want
I would become an electrician
I'd climb inside my ears
And I would rearrange the wires in my brain
Different me would be inhabiting this body
To have two cars, a garage, a job
And I would go to church on Sunday
A diagram of faulty circuitry
Explains how I was made
Now the engineer is listening
As I voice all my complaints
From an orchestra of shaking metal keeping me awake
I was just wondering if there's any way that you made a mistake
'Cause I miss you the way that I miss nicotine
If it makes me feel better, how bad could it be?
Well I heard there's a fix for everything
Then why, then why, then why
Then why not me?
The 1st of April saw the sickening repair
Wore my best shirt to the clinic decorated with the laminate name
No one is laughing from an audience of folding plastic chairs
And I'm not fooled when you tell me that you're glad I came
Am I honest to admit or just a hypocrite?
I know I should be being optimistic but I'm doubtful I can change
Grit my teeth and try to act deserving
When I know there is nowhere I can hide
From your humiliating grace
'Cause if you swear that it's true
Then I have to believe
What I hear evangelicals say on TV
And if there's enough left after everyone else
Then why, then why, then why
Then why not me?
