Biography:
Josh Joplin Group was an American Georgia-based pop music band led by singer-songwriter Josh Joplin. Joplin, a self-proclaimed "dork" who nonetheless dropped out of school in tenth grade to become a folk singer like his hero Phil Ochs, brought the group its trademark combination of introspective lyrics, folk-rock melodies, and lead vocals that, to many, sound identical to those of R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe (to the point that one Joplin song, "Happy at Last," begins, "I sound like Michael Stipe and I dream like Carl Jung").

CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
F
It was the winter of our unpaid rent
G F G
When everything we had we spent
F
On stupid things we didn't need
And everything in between
[Verse 2]
C F
You were the victim of your point of view
G F G
With the faith of saints, you suffered through
F
Part-time jobs and lousy pot
Sneaking out and getting caught
[Chorus]
C F
I've been waiting so long
C
I've been wanting to find
G
Somebody a lifetime leaves behind
C F
Are you happy at last?
C
Are you happy, at least?
G
Do you think that you'll ever find your peace?
F
Everyone says 'Hi'
Everyone says
C F
Hello, hello, hello, hello
C F
Goodbye___
C F
Hello, hello, hello, hello
C F C
Goodbye___
[Verse 3]
F
I spent the summer, unrequited love
G F G
Singing your name to the stars above
F
But I never had a chance
I didn't know my audience
[Chorus]
C F
I've been waiting so long
C
I've been wanting to find
G
Somebody a lifetime leaves behind
C F
Are you happy at last?
C
Are you happy, at least?

Do you think that you'll ever move back east?

Goodbye to those who never made it
F
To all my friends who've all but faded
C F
Goodbye___
C F C
Goodbye___
[Verse 4]
F
I've seen the best minds of my troubled youth
G F G
Disappear for lack of proof
F
That they believed the songs they sung
That they were ever really young
[Chorus]
C F
I've been waiting so long
C
I've been wanting to find
G
Somebody a lifetime leaves behind
C F
Are you happy at last?

Are you happy, at least?

Do you think that you'll ever find your peace?
