Chord Happy Hearts by Okkervil River

pretty simple song . i’m pretty sure it was co - written with daniel johnston . G D Em why must happy hearts break so hard Am C D leave you curled up in the back seat of a car , Em C Am7 staring up at the windshield? G D G when will broken hearts learn how to heal? G D Em this boy i knew was five years older than me Am C D his Daddy’d left him when he was three . Em C Am7 after we went walking by a stream , G C D he held me down and made me feel as bad as he . G D Em why must happy hearts break so hard , Am C D leave you standing in the darkness of the barn , Em C Am7 staring at those rusty wheels? G D G when will broken hearts learn how to heal? C G D Em and everybody’s searching for a place to put their love . C G see the people on the street? D they go home and what do you think they dream of? C G D Em u - n - C - o - n - D - i - t - i - o - n - A - l l - o - v - E . G D why did you leave me? G D Em mother , why do you sleep with him? Am C D he says he’s smothering , then he comes back again , E C Am7 in our house for the weekend . G D G why must people’s breaking hearts pretend? G D Em why must happy hearts break so hard , Am C D leave you staring in the mirror at a bar? Em C Am7 leave you talking to yourself , G D G because you can’t talk to anybody else
