F 
You took the toaster when you went  
Bb                            F 
You never paid your half the rent  
                             Bb 
You took the spices from the rack 
Bb                             F 
But you don't have to put 'em  back 
                            C 
Cause in your haste on Halloween 
                            Gm 
You left your camera on the bed 
                                    Bb 
Where we played roles in black and  white 
                             Gm 
You left a roll of black and white 
                           C 
I set the timer thought of you 
                       Gm 
Put the lens up to my  head 
                        Bb 
I took a photograph for you 
                              F 
What comes out gray is really red  
        C Gm Bb    F 
So are  you  happy now 
    C Gm Bb    F 
Are you  happy now 
    C Gm Bb    F      C 
Are you  happy now  
F                             Bb 
I smashed your pumpkin on the floor  
                           F 
The candle flickered at my feet 
                           Bb 
As goblins flew across the room   
                             F 
The children peered into the room 
                         C 
A cowboy shivered on the porch 
                       Gm 
Cinderella checked her watch 
                     Bb 
A hobo waited in the street 
                            Gm 
An angel whispered trick or treat 
                       C 
What was I supposed to do 
                        Gm 
But to sit there in the dark 
                           Bb 
I was amazed to think that you 
                              F 
Would take the candy with you too  
        C Gm Bb    F 
So are  you  happy now 
    C Gm Bb    F 
Are you  happy now 
    C Gm Bb    F      C 
Are you  happy now  
F                               Bb 
I've sat all night and now it's dawn 
                        F 
And I cannot believe my eyes 
                                  Bb 
There's garbage strewn across the lawn  
                                F 
Where we once stared up at the  sky 
                              C 
And streams of paper fill the tree 
                          Gm 
That hovered over you and me 
                             Bb 
And shaving cream covers the car 
                           Gm 
That we picked up in Baltimore 
                               C 
And though I know it's hard to tell 
                                       Gm 
I hope that what's his name treats you well 
                             Bb 
I still maintain that he's a bum 
                               F 
But it's your money have some fun  
        C Gm Bb    F 
So are  you  happy now 
    C Gm Bb    F 
Are you  happy now 
    C Gm Bb    F      C 
Are you  happy now  
Gm                         C 
You always asked why I had not 
                       Gm 
Written you a verse or two 
                             Bb 
Since that's the one thing I regret 
                       F 
I dedicate this one to you  
        C Gm Bb    F 
So are  you  happy now 
    C Gm Bb    F 
Are you  happy now 
    C Gm Bb    F      C 
Are you  happy now  
    C Gm Bb    F       
Are you  happy now
