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
