D                                          Bm
Maybe it's been years since I've genuinely smiled
D                                                   Bm          A
And maybe it's been years since I've wanted to be a part of anything
D                                                        Bm
But lately I've been good, you know, I've actually been great
D   
Man, I even laughed a little today
Bm               A
It's so strange, it's so strange

[Chorus]
D                                 Bm
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
A
Because I'm happy now
D                                 Bm
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
A
Because I'm happy now

D                                     Bm                 A
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay

[Verse 2]
D                                              Bm
I thought it was my right to be as sorry as I wanted to be
D                                     Bm      A
I wasted all my teenage years being a misery factory
D                                             Bm
But something had to give, I had to finally see the light
D                                                    Bm             A
I think at twenty-three It's time to practice what I preach, and what I'm preaching

[Chorus]
D                                 Bm
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
A
Because I'm happy now
D                                 Bm
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
A
Because I'm happy now

D                                     Bm                  A
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay

[Bridge]
G              D
All my wasted hope
     Bm            A
I let go when I shoulda held tighter
G                 D
And now when it flames out
Bm
I let it burn
A                                      D (let ring)
I'm not afraid to feel it shine on me

D                                     Bm                  A
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay
D                                     Bm                  A
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay

[Chorus]

Tell me it's okay to be happy now
A
Because I'm happy now
D                                 Bm
Tell me it's okay to be happy now
                     A
My life is finally leveling out so

D                                      Bm                 A
Tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay, tell me it's okay

Tell me it's okay to be happy now

Because I'm happy now
