Capo 2 on the recording; I play without
Half step down + another quarter step down detune  
Intro: Am F/C C Am F G C                                   [2]                                                     
Am                                      [1]                Daddy told me that life is what you made it
MUTE                         Am                            He bought his house at twenty-five
Oh honey, thank you once again                             Kid me dealer you showed me how you play it
Am                          F/C     C                      Take another drink just to feel alive
That frozen dinner came out perfectly                      I'm happy as can be                          
                        Am                                 
I love it when you microwave for me                        [1]
    F     G       C                                        (A verse of humming)
I'm happy as can be                                                                                            
                                                           I sent my daughter off to school
It's seven-thirty, off to work                             And there's this one girl that she calls a friend
Stuck behind an endless line of cars                       I can see how this is going to end
I wish I didn't have to go so far                          I'm happy as can be                               
I'm happy as can be                                        
                                                           I didn't make the football team
                                                           I graduated with a four-point-oh
Am     G            F             C    [2]                 Where did my sense of a purpose go?
No-one told me that life was ever easy                     I'm happy as can be                                
Am     G                 C     [F/C] C                                                                              
No-one said it'd be this hard                              [2]
Am    G        F                  C                        Instrumental
Try I might to come off light and breezy                                                                       
Am                               F                         [1] (No mute)
Play another round, take another card                      I'm suffering from these Bugman Blues
    G            C (lead into Am)                          Doing everything they told me to                    
I'm happy as can be                                        Ever think that they would lie to you?              
                                                           Not as happy as can be                              
[1]                                                            
My keyboard is my only friend                              N.C.                                                
The guys at work, they don't speak English well            (Final hummed lyric)                               
They never talk much so it's hard to tell                  
I'm happy as can be                                        ----------------------
                                                           If you don't want the capo but do want to be
Eight hours in this sullen room                            in tune with the recording you just shift
I'm wearing khaki's that don't fit me right                everything up a step, Am->Bm, F->G, C->D, G->A.
At least I made it and my collars white                    Tuning remains the same.                        
I'm happy as can be
