I'm going to find a happy,
D D(add9) Am7 G5
I'm going to find a happy place.
[verse]
G5
Seven thousand eyes are watching,
G7
marching home and no one's touching,
G6 G+5
army of the city workers, secretaries, lawyers, brokers,
Em
heading for a London station, heading for a quick salvation,
G5 G7
oblivious to cherry cola, trying to sell to every stranger,
D Cm
Stuck here, it's cold, I'm standing, hoping for some understanding,
G5
only way to go is inside.

[verse2]
G5
Seven thousand light years travel,
G7
let my sense of time unravel,
G6
trapped feelings are never ending,
G+5
send those weaknesses descending
Em
towards the earth's red centre, let the fire rise and enter,
G5 G7
tap into the primal power, rising like a giant tower,
D Cm
the energy receiving, cut a hole right through the ceiling,
G5
people getting smaller as you fly.
[chorus]
C-5 C5 C C-5 C
I'm going to find a happy,
Em9Em Em

I'm going to find a happy,

a happy place, a happy place, a happy...
[bridge]
Gm Dm Gm
Find a star, send down a beam to where you are,
Gm F
an elevator of light taking you somewhere,
D7 Gm
where you'll always be loved.
[verse3]
G5
I have found that stress and nonsense
G7
puts me in a zone of avoidance.
G6 G+5
Could my mind be moving faster, pulling like a super cluster?
Em G5
Can be hard to trust a feeling, not believing ends in seeing.
[outro]
C-5 C5 C C-5 C
We're going to find a happy,
Em9 Em Em
*
we're going to find a happy,
D D(add9) Am7 C
we're going to find a happy place,
Em D Am G5
a happy place, a happy place, a happy place.
