“Happier” is one of the most vulnerable tracks on Olivia Rodrigo’s SOUR album. This gentle acoustic ballad uses four simple chords and suits a soft fingerpicking or delicate strumming style.

Tip: Use fingerpicking throughout for the most authentic feel. Try a simple pattern: thumb on bass note, then pluck strings 3, 2, 1 in sequence.

Verse 1
C G
We broke up a month ago, your friends aren’t mine, you know I know
Am F
You’ve moved on, found someone new
C G
One more girl who brings out the better in you
Am F
And I thought my heart was detached from all the sunlight of our past
Chorus
Am F
But I just wanna know, do you ever get ’em back
C G
Lonely nights and missing you
Am F
Do you think of me, do I ever cross your mind
C G Am F
I hope you’re happy but not like how you were with me
C G
I’m selfish I know, I can’t let you go
Am
So find someone great but don’t find no one better
F C G
I hope you’re happy but don’t be happier
Verse 2
C G
And do you tell her she’s the most beautiful girl you’ve ever seen
Am F
An eternal love bullshit you never actually believed
C G Am
Remember when I believed you meant it when you said it first to me
F C
And now I’m picking her apart like cutting her down will make you miss me
