D A G
You could be happy and I won't know
D A G
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
D A G
And all the things that I wish I had not said
D A G
Are played on lips 'til it's madness in my head
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/snow_patrol/you_could_be_happy_acoustic_tab.html ]
Em D G
Is it too late to remind you how we were?
Em D G
But not our last days of silent, screaming blur
Em D G
Most of what I remember makes me sure
D A G
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
D A G
You could be happy, I hope you are
D A G
You made me happier than I'd been by far
D A G
Somehow everything I own smells of you
D A G
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Em D G
Do the things that you always wanted to
Em D G
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
Em D G
More than anything I want to see you go
D A G
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
