[Verse 1]
                     G
Happy people don't cheat
                    C
Happy people don't lie
             D
They don't judge or hold a grudge
                 G
They don't criticize
                    G
Happy people don't hate
                     C
Happy people don't steal
         D               D
All the hurt sure ain't worth
                 G
The guilt they feel


[Chorus]
                          C
So if you wanna know the secret
                         G
You can't buy it, gotta make it
                     C
You ain't ever gonna be it
                          G
By takin' someone else's away
                  C
Never take it for granted
                       G
You don't have to understand it
         Em              D            C
Just do whatever puts a smile on your face
                         G
Whatever makes you happy people


[Verse 2]
                    G
Happy people don't fail
                   C
Happy people just learn
                          D
They don't think they're above, push or shove
                      G
They just wait their turn
                       G
And they always got a hand
                C
Or a dollar to spare
                      D
They know the Golden Rule and what you're goin' through
                            G
Even if they've never been there


[Chorus]
                          C
So if you wanna know the secret
                         G
You can't buy it, gotta make it
                     C
You ain't ever gonna be it
                          G
By takin' someone else's away
                  C
Never take it for granted
                       G
You don't have to understand it
         Em              D            C
Just do whatever puts a smile on your face
                         G
Whatever makes you happy people


[Bridge]
        Em                D        C
These days they ain't so easy to find
                 Em                   D             C
But they're the ones that you want standin' on your side
                    Em
There's no time for greed
            D                    C
So if they need some give 'em a slice
                       G             C
And we'll all be happy people, happy people
                         G        C
Yeah we'll all be happy people
                         G        C
Yeah we'll all be happy people


[Outro]
        G                 C
Life is short and love is rare
        D                 D                G
And we all deserve to be happy while we're here
