Verse 1:
A                    G
Waking up beside you brings a kind of refuge
         D                             A
It's the armor that I need to face the day
A                 G                         D
For a second I forgot that you were leaving soon
A
Then the armor falls away
 
Pre-Chorus 1:
A
This time there's no broken hearts
    Em7
And no one ran 'cause it got hard
     Bm7                      A
This missing you is temporary pain
 
Chorus:
                A
I'm happy to be sad
                     Em7
I'm sad that you are gone
                 Bm7                                   A
If I was feeling nothing I would feel like something's wrong
                   A
I'm grateful to be crying
                Em7
I'm crying over you
                  Bm7                              D
I'm lucky that we love so good it has to hurt this bad
                A
I'm happy to be sad
 
Post-Chorus:
            G
Do-do-do-do-do-do
            Bm7
Do-do-do-do-do-do
      A
Do-do-do, do-do-do
 
Verse 2:
     A               Em7
Only me, myself, and all my thoughts
                      Bm7                      A
I thought that I would start to crumble in the lonely
                             A
-Start to crumble in the lo--
                         Em7
But I'll get to know the momentary misery
Bm7                   A
Just to know somebody knows me
 
Pre-Chorus 2:
A
This time there's no hopeless nights
   Em7
No losing sleep, no pointless fights
     Bm7                                  A
Just missing you, 'til you come back and hold me
 
Chorus:
                A
I'm happy to be sad -Sad-
                     Em7
I'm sad that you are gone -Gone-
                 Bm7                                   A
If I was feeling nothing I would feel like something's wrong
                   A
I'm grateful to be crying -Cry-
                Em7
I'm crying over you -You-
                  Bm7                              D
I'm lucky that we love so good it has to hurt this bad
                A
I'm happy to be sad
 
Post-Chorus:
                  G
-Sad- Do-do-do-do-do-do
                   D
-Gone- Do-do-do-do-do-do

                A
I'm happy to be sad
                     Em7
I'm sad that you are gone
                 Bm7                                   A
If I was feeling nothing I would feel like something's wrong
                   -nc-    A
I'm grateful to be crying -I-
                Em7
I'm crying over you -You-
                  Bm7                              D
I'm lucky that we love so good it has to hurt this bad

I'm happy to be sad -Sad-
