Joe Jackson - Happy Ending

Intro:

F#m


Verse 1:

F#m          E D     D/C# D/B  
   I'm in a movie,          
A                  E
  where boy meets girl.
F#m             E  D  D/C# D/B
   What happens to me 
A                    E
  in this brave new world?


Chorus 1

D                    A           E            D
  Do I listen to my heart? Do I listen to my head?
                       A         E             D
  Do I look at what I see, or remember what I read?
                         A         E             D
  When I tell you how I feel do I wonder what I say?
                        Dm
Is there nothing we can do about it?
E A     D              Dm  
Anyone,  anyone can be so hardhearted;
    E  A            D
but everyone, still everybody
 Dm            E A 
wants an happy ending.
D              D A            F#m
La la la la la    la la la la la


Verse 2: 

It's not so easy, 
it's eighty four now.
How tough must we be 
to ask for more, now?


Chorus 2:

Do I listen to my head? Do I listen to my heart?
Do I try to feel the same, as I do when we're apart?
Do I think about the end when it's only just the start?

Is there nothing we can do about it?
Anyone, anyone can be so hardhearted;
but everyone, still everybody
wants a happy ending.
La la la la la  la la la la la


Bridge:
Bm         F#m               
  I get so scared when I see
   C#m                F#m
the evidence against our case.
Bm           F#m             
  Each movie so far this year
    C#m               D
ends up with someone crying,
Dm
   or even someone dying

Chorus 3:

Do I try to feel the same, as I do when we're apart?
Do I think about the end when it's only just the start?

but everyone, still everybody
