^{Key: :[F] (w: Paul Heaton, Stan Cullimore)}

INTRO: [F] [Am] [Bb] [C] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
It's [F] happy [Am] hour again
I [Bb] think I might be happy
If I [C] wasn't out with them
And they're [F] happy
It's a [Am] lovely place to be
[Bb] Happy that the fire's real
The [C] barman is a [F] she

BRIDGE 1:
Where their [F] haircuts smile
And the meaning of style
Is a night out with the [C] boss
Where you [F] win or you lose
And it's them who choose
And if you don't win then you've [C] lost [C open]

CHORUS:
What a good place to [F] be, don't be-[Am]-lieve it
Cause they [Bb] speak a different language
And it's [C] never really happened to [F] me
Don't be-[Am]-lieve it; oh [Bb] no
Cause it's [C] never been happy to [F] me [Am] [Bb] [C]

VERSE 2:
It's a-[F]-nother [Am] night out with the boss
[Bb] Following in footsteps [C] overgrown in moss
And he [F] tells me that [Am] women grow on trees
And if you [Bb] catch them right
They will [C] land upon their [F] knees

BRIDGE 2:
Where they [F] open all their wallets
And they close all their minds
And they love to buy you all a [C] drink
And as [F] we ask all the questions
And you take all your clothes off
And go back to the kitchen [C] sink [C open]

And a-[Am]-gain, and a-[Bb]-gain [C]
