Intro Slide guitar and slide all throughout song tastefully done
Verse
Why don't i do the things that I say
Why can't be the things that I pray
Chorus
If I could be happy If I could be happy
If I could be happy For just one day
Why won't I listen to my heart
Haven't I done my stupid part
Chorus
If I could be happy If I could be happy oh yeah
If I could be happy For just one day
Bridge
Where are the blue sky's up ahead
I'm so out of tune I feel I'm better off dead oh dead
Verse
if I can't do things for myself
Then I'm no good for anybody else
Chorus
If I could be happy If I could be happy
If I could be happy For just one day
If I could be happy If I could be happy oh yeah
If I could be happy For just one day
If I could be happy For just one day just one day
If I could be happy For one dame day
If I could be happy For just one day
Fade with slide building all through last chorus
