G  D  Bm  A  G  D  A

G         D     Bm           A              G   
There's a light, it's burning in your eyes tonight
             D         A
You're doing more than killing time
G       D     Bm    A             G   
Did our dreams simply burn like kerosene
            D            A
Chasing the ghosts from another life
G Bm                    A
I know you're gonna go away
G          Bm                   A
Before you do I got something to say


Chorus:
Bm                 D   A          D          A        Bm      
If we could stay together for the kids and a few more years
               D              A
They might not end up like we did
Bm         D  A              D     A    Bm 
Love has a way of losing its shine over time
         D                A
You were young and so was I
A                       Bm
And we don't have to be happy
D                   A      D A  Bm  D A
We don't have to be happy


There's a voice of a little girl and a little boy
Is your freedom, worth the price?
There's nothing left to say
The heart tends to only want what causes it to break
And we both know, this ain't right
So think about them before you go
'Cause I can't do this on my own

Chorus

Chorus ×2 & outro

We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy, we
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
Darling, won't you come back home
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
We don't have to be happy
