Intro:

N.C. F#m7 B7 C#m7
It is not ea__sy__

[F#m] It is not [E/G#]ea__sy_[G#7]_ [C#m] [C#m]

Verse 1:

Looking from a [C#m/B]window at the back of a house at the edge of a town[Amaj7]_

It's grey[B/A]_ like the [G#m7]day when I lost it

Clouds over head [Emaj7/G#]talked to a flower that was [F#m7]almost dead

[C#m/E]A body in prison. Why did I do it?

[G#7sus4/D#]Someone told me not to but I [D7]still went through it[C#7sus4]

Chorus:

[C#7] It is not [F#m7]ea__sy_[B7]_ [C#m7]
(But don't give up_ now_)

[F#m] It is not [E/G#]ea__sy_[G#7]_[C#m][C#m]
(Happiness is an op_tion_)

Verse 2:

[C#m/B] Needed some-where to clear my head [Amaj7]

Find some [B/A]strenght, a warmer bed [G#m7]

Maximum love in a minimum world, [Emaj7/G#]I'd never achieved it, [F#m7]but then I believed it

[C#m/E]So when I lost it, how, I'm not sure [G#7sus4/D#]now

It was a strange [D7]feeling, like a law [C#7sus4]repealing itself

Chorus:

[C#7] It is not [F#m7]ea__sy_[B7]_ [C#m7]
(But don't give up_ now_)

[F#m] It is not [E/G#]ea__sy_[G#7]_[C#m]
(Happiness is an op_tion_)

It is not [F#m7]ea__sy_[B7]_ [C#m7]
(But don't give up_ now_)

[F#m] It is not [E/G#]ea__sy_[G#7]_[C#m][C#m]
(Happiness is an op_tion_)

Verse 3:

[C#m/B] I can wake up in the morning and not [Amaj7]believe what I see[B/A]_

I [G#m7]look in the mirror and think if that's really me

[Emaj7/G#]I don't think I suit my [F#m7]face

[C#m/E]

It's not a ca-tas-tro-phe, it's more a phi-lo-so-phy

[G#7sus4/D#]Like the Russians wondering why[D7]_ they're born under a blue [C#7sus4]sky

But die in a [C#7]dark forest
It is not

Chorus:

[F#m7]ea__sy_[B7]_ [C#m7]
(But don't give up_ now_)

[F#m] It is not [E/G#]ea__sy_[G#7]_[C#m]
(Happiness is an op_tion_)

It is not [F#m7]ea__sy_[B7]_ [C#m7]
(But don't give up_ now_)

[F#m] It is not [E/G#]ea__sy_[G#7]_[C#m]
(Happiness is an op_tion_)

Verse 4:

[C#m/B] This is neither old nor new, it's always forever

Be-[B/A]tween sense and ambition, [G#m7]pleasure and decision, we have to make a choice

[Emaj7/G#] What do we want? [F#m7]Everyone is singing

[C#m/E]'War, what is it good for', while planning the next one

[G#7sus4/D#]I don't need to win, [D7]you don't have to lose, you can [C#7sus4]choose

Happiness is an [C#7]option
It is not

Chorus:

[F#m7]ea__sy_[B7]_ [C#m7]
(But don't give up_ now_)

[F#m] It is not [E/G#]ea__sy_[G#7]_[C#m]
(Happiness is an op_tion_)

Bridge:

It isn't easy[F#m7]___ [B7] the war with-in[C#m7]_ us_

[F#m] But it gets ea[E/G#]_sier_ [G#7] the more we learn[C#m]__

I don't need to win[F#m7]_ [B7]you don't have to lose[C#m7]__

[F#m] You can choose[E/G#]__ hap[G#7]_piness is an op[C#m]_tion

Chorus:

It is not [F#m7]ea__sy_[B7]_ [C#m7]
(But don't give up_ now_)

[F#m] It is not [E/G#]ea__sy_[G#7]_[F#m7]
(Happiness is an op_tion_)

Outro:

[B7]You don't have to lose[C#m7]__

[F#m] You can choose[E/G#]__ hap[G#7]_piness is an op[C#m]_tion[C#m]
