[Intro]
B / E / B
B E F# B
The sad thing is I'm so damn happy
B E F#
Who'd blame her if she were to slap me
E B
The sun should not shine when there's rain
E B
I should be in a lot more pain
B E F#
At least I should feel slightly crappy
F# B
But the sad thing is I'm so damn happy
B E F# B
And the worst thing is it's so much better
B E F#
That admission would upset her
E B
But it's true and it's beyond belief
E B
What I feel is sheer relief
B E F#
I may regret the day I met her
F# B
And the worst thing is it's so much better
B E F# B
It's comic that it's all so tragic
B E F#
It's that hum-drum novel old black magic
E B
Let's have a laugh after we cry
E B
Let's hope we live before we die
B E F#
The silly clown's red nose is runny
F# B
And it's tragic that it's all so funny
B E F# B
It's crucial that it doesn't matter
B E F#
Vows of love are idle chatter
E B
To feel this good has to be bad
E B
I'm so damn happy that it's sad
B E F#
Dear listener would you like to slap me
F# B
And the sad thing is I'm so damn happy
F# B
Yes the sad thing is I'm so damn happy
