[Verse 1]
Am7           F        C
Walking down 29th and Park
Am7        F            C
I saw you in another’s arms
Am7       F               C
Only a month we’ve been apart
          Am7    F  C
You look happier
Am7        F            C
Saw you walk inside a bar
Am7            F                 C
He said something to make you laugh
Am7          F                      C
I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours
               Am7     F       C
Yeah, you look happier, you do
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am7            F              C
Ain’t nobody hurt you like I hurt you
     Am7            F              C
But ain’t nobody love you like I do
Am7              F                C
Promise that I will not take it personal, baby
Am7               F               C
If you’re moving on with someone new
 
[Chorus]
                      Am7     F    C
’Cause baby you look happier, you do
                    Am7         F        C
My friends told me one day I’d feel it too
                    Am7       F        C
And until then I’ll smile to hide the truth
                  Am7      F    C
But I know I was happier with you
 
[Verse 2]
Am7          F             C
Sat in the corner of the room
Am7               F            C
Everything’s reminding me of you
Am7         F     C                                Am7
Nursing an empty bottle and telling myself you’re happier
F      C
Aren’t you?
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am7            F              C
Ain’t nobody hurt you like I hurt you
     Am7            F              C
But ain’t nobody need you like I do
Am7                  F              C
I know that there’s others that deserve you
        Am7            F                  C
But my darling, I am still in love with you
 
[Chorus]
                     Am7     F     C
But I guess you look happier, you do
                       Am7      F         C
My friends told me one day I’ll feel it too
                Am7       F         C
I could try to smile to hide the truth
                 Am7     F      C
But I know I was happier with you
 
[Interlude]
(Hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah)
Am7   F   C     x4
 
[Outro]
                Am7    F     C
Baby, you look happier, you do
                     Am7       F       C
I knew one day you’d fall for someone new
                      Am7        F       C
But if he breaks your heart like lovers do
                       Am7        F       C
Just know that I’ll be waiting here for you

On the chorus the 2nd time around i think it should be "I could try to smile and hide the truth" other than that, the tab is AMAZING!!
