Ben Platt - Happy To Be Sad Chords

[i̇ntro]
A

[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
If I was feeling nothing
                              A
I would feel like something's wrong
                   A
I'm grateful to be crying
                Em7
I'm crying over you
                  Bm7
I'm lucky that we love so
                         D
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
I thought that I would start
                  A
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
