The verse chords are strummed lightly and walk back down as you go into the Bm and
G. I don’t think this is 100% right but it gets you through the song as sounds
pretty good. I was just dying to play this and this is what I came up with. Enjoy!
D DaddG D
Joy is over there in her incredible clothes
Bm G
She has silver silk shimmering down to her toes
D DaddG D
I was doing the best that I can I suppose
Bm G
But that little girl dancer eventually grows
E
Well she grows
(Repeat throughout )
You can’t imagine all the times that I tried
To uncover the source of the tears that you cried
“Lets throw it away and just go for a ride”
And you’d say “ok” but you’d keep it inside
E
And I tried
G
I tried
E
I tried
G
I tried

Chorus
G D A
We want you to be happy
(A cont.) G
Don’t live inside the gloom
D A
We want you to be happy
(A cont.) G
Come step outside your room
D A
We want you to be happy
(A cont.) G D A
Cause this is your song too
I never thought I could have it so good
You were the song that my soul understood
That time is a river that flows through the woods
And it lead us to places we both understood
Would be gone
Before to long
Would be gone
Before to long
When we were young we thought life was a game
But then somebody leaves you and your never the same
All of the places and people belong to the puzzle
But one of the pieces is gone
And it’s you
It’s you
It’s you
Joy, its you
We want you to be happy
Don’t live inside the gloom
We want you to be happy
Come step outside your room
We want you to be happy
Cause this is your song too
(solo)
Anytime we’ll weather this storm
Inside together you’ll see the change
When the sun shines through
We want you to be happy
Don’t live inside the gloom
We want you to be happy
Come step outside your room
We want you to be happy
Cause this is your song too
This is your song too
This is your song too
This is your song too
This is your song too
This is your song too
This is your song too
This is your song too
This is your song too
(solo)
