Joy Chords

[Intro]
D  G  D  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
D
Me and fear
   F#m            G
We had a thing in 1993
D             F#m               G
Told me I was wasting time with all these silly dreams
Bm                 A
I dated doubt, she knocked me down
G
Every time I tried
    Em      A         D
But I found joy in my life
 
D               F#m            G
Sorrow swept me off my feet in 2009
D                        F#m               G
I took long walks on the beach next to the oceans that we cried
    Bm                 A              G
And grief she came and overstayed way longer than I’d liked
    Em      A         D
But I found joy in my life
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D
I found joy
          G
Yeah, she opened up my eyes
D                                G
Gave me wings and halo rings and taught me how to fly
Bm                  A
Woo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
       G
I feel like a million lights
Em      A         D
I found joy in my life
 
 
[Chorus]
Got me like
D           G
Yeah-ah-ah, ooo-ooo-ooo
                  A
I found joy in my life
 
Got me like
Bm      D   G
Yeah-ah-ah, ooo-ooo-ooo
Em      A         D
I found joy in my life
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                  F#m
Pressure pushed me to the edge
    G
She worked me to the bone
    D             F#m
And jealousy, she lied to me
       G
Said I needed things I don’t
Bm               A              G
Shame, she had a way to make me hate myself inside
    Em      A         D
But I found joy in my life
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D
I found joy
       G
On the loneliest of nights
  D
I bought a rock, I tied the knot
        G
And I’m making her my wife
Bm             A
Woo, ooo, ooo, ooo
       G
I feel like a million lights
Em      A         D
I found joy in my life
 
 
[Chorus]
Got me like
D           G
Yeah-ah-ah, ooo-ooo-ooo
G                 A
I found joy in my life
 
Got me like
Bm      D   G
Yeah-ah-ah, ooo-ooo-ooo
Em      A         D
I found joy in my life
 
 
[Bridge]
F#                 Bm
 There were days I did not know
F#                     Bm          A  D
 If she would pack her bags and go
D              F#
That’s my girl forever though
        G          A
And she knows, she knows
 
 
[Verse 3]
D       F#m       G
I found joy and I kiss her every night
    D           F#m
She gave me two more of her
      G
And I can’t believe they’re mine
Bm    A           G
Mmmmmmmm, now I’m basking in their light
Em      D    G       A
I found joy, I found joy
 
 
[Chorus]
D           G
Yeah-ah-ah, ooo-ooo-ooo
G                 A
I found joy in my life
 
Got me like
Bm      D   G
Yeah-ah-ah, ooo-ooo-ooo
Em      A         D
I found joy in my life
 
 
[Outro]
Em      A         D
I found joy in my life
