1. It‘s happy hour again, I think I might be happy if I wasn‘t out with them,

                        G                Bm

    and they‘re happy, it‘s a lovely place to be,

       C                                           D                G

    happy that the fire‘s real, the barman is a she.

                        G

    Where the haircuts smile, and the meaning of style

                                         D

    is a night out with the boss,

                        G

    where you win or you lose, and it‘s them who choose,

                                                         D

    and if you don‘t win, then you‘ve lost.

What a good place to be, don‘t believe her,

                        C

cause they speak a different language,

               D                                    G

and it‘s never really happened to me.

             Bm                C

Don‘t believe her, oh no,

                    D                               G          Bm    C      - D

‘cause it‘s never been happy for me, oh, woah, oh.

 

              G       Bm

2. It‘s another night out with the boss,

     C                                D

    following in footsteps overgrown by moss,

                  G                  Bm

    and he tells me that women grow on trees,

           C                                                  D                                  - G

    and if you catch them right, they will land upon their knees.

                         G   

    Where they open all their wallets, and they close all their minds,

                                                      D

    and they love to buy you all a drink,

                 G 

    and as we ask all the questions,

                                                                                              D

    and you take all your clothes off, go back to the kitchen sink.
