Mark Dann bass
Howie Wyeth drums
F
You took the toaster when you went
Bb F
You never paid your half the rent
Bb
You took the spices from the rack
Bb F
But you don't have to put 'em back
C
Cause in your haste on Halloween
Gm
You left your camera on the bed
Bb
Where we played roles in black and white
Gm
You left a roll of black and white
C
I set the timer thought of you
Gm
Put the lens up to my head
Bb
I took a photograph for you
F
What comes out gray is really red
C Gm Bb F
So are you happy now
C Gm Bb F
Are you happy now
C Gm Bb F C
Are you happy now
F Bb
I smashed your pumpkin on the floor
F
The candle flickered at my feet
Bb
As goblins flew across the room
F
The children peered into the room
C
A cowboy shivered on the porch
Gm
Cinderella checked her watch
Bb
A hobo waited in the street
Gm
An angel whispered trick or treat
C
What was I supposed to do
Gm
But to sit there in the dark
Bb
I was amazed to think that you
F
Would take the candy with you too
C Gm Bb F
So are you happy now
C Gm Bb F
Are you happy now
C Gm Bb F C
Are you happy now
F Bb
I've sat all night and now it's dawn
F
And I cannot believe my eyes
Bb
There's garbage strewn across the lawn
F
Where we once stared up at the sky
C
And streams of paper fill the tree
Gm
That hovered over you and me
Bb
And shaving cream covers the car
Gm
That we picked up in Baltimore
C
And though I know it's hard to tell
Gm
I hope that what's his name treats you well
Bb
I still maintain that he's a bum
F
But it's your money have some fun
C Gm Bb F
So are you happy now
C Gm Bb F
Are you happy now
C Gm Bb F C
Are you happy now
Gm C
You always asked why I had not
Gm
Written you a verse or two
Bb
Since that's the one thing I regret
F
I dedicate this one to you
C Gm Bb F
So are you happy now
C Gm Bb F
Are you happy now
C Gm Bb F C
Are you happy now
C Gm Bb F
Are you happy now
