 (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 cr*ppy
 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
