[F#]Seven weeks have passed now
[C#]since she left me,
[D#m]And she shows her face to ask[B] me how I am
[F#]She says the kids are fine
[C#]and that they miss me
[D#m]Maybe I could come and [B]baby-sit sometime

[C#]She says, "are you OK?
[D#m]I was worried about [B]you,
[C#]can you forgive me? I
[D#m]hope that you'll be hap[B]py." I said
----------------------------------------------------------
 **[CHORUS]**
    [F#]"I'm so happy that I [C#]can't stop crying,
    [D#m]I'm so happy, I'm lau[B]ghing through my tears."
-----------------------------------------------------------
[C#]I saw a friend of mine.
He said [D#m]"I was worried ab[B]out you,
[C#]I heard she had another man,
[D#m]I wondered how you fe[B]lt about it"
------------------------------------------------------
**[CHORUS]**
   [F#]"I'm so happy that I [C#]can't stop crying,
   [D#m]I'm so happy, I'm lau[B]ghing through my tears."
---------------------------------------------------------

[C#]Joint custody and[D#m] legal separ[B]ation

   [Dmaj7]I'm laughing through my tears" [E]
------------------------------------------------------
[F#]I took a walk alone last [A#m7]night.
I looked up at the stars[D#m]
To try to find an an[B]swer in my life

[F#]I chose a star for me,
[A#m7]I chose a star for him
[D#m]I chose two stars for my kids and
[B] one star for my wife
[C#]something made me smile.
[D#m]something seemed to ease[B] the pain,
[C#]something about the universe and
[D#m] how it's all connected[B] [A] [E]
