Stabbing Westward - Happy Artist: Stabbing Westward Song: Happy Album: Stabbing Westward Released: 2001 Contact: Zippo8822@aol.com This is definitely one of the easier songs to play off the self-titled album. You'll need two guitars for this either way you cut it, an acoustic for the rhythm section and an electric to play the covering riffs and the lead. Have fun.

But has it really made a difference, Sharing all that hate with someone else? Chorus: Please tell me are you really happy? Do you think he's really worth the pain? Tell me are you really happy? Or did you simply throw our life away, just to be unhappy? Verse 2: Does he worship and adore you? Does he make you feel so beautifully complete? Is your life so much better now? Or do those same old demons haunt your sleep? Chorus: Please tell me are you really happy? Do you think he's really worth the pain? Tell me are you really happy now? Or did you simply throw our life away, just to be unhappy? Just to be unhappy... Verse 3: Is he everything you've dreamed of? I imagine he is so much more than me. And I tried to make you happy. But I believe you thrive on misery. Chorus: So please tell me are you really happy? Do you think he's really worth the pain? Tell me are you really happy? Or did you simply throw our life away, just to be unhappy? Just to be unhappy... Just to be unhappy... Just to be unhappy...
