Chords for Stephen Sondheim's Passion - "So Much Happiness" (Live)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ I'm so happy I'm afraid _ [Eb] I'll die [Bb] here in your [Ebm] _
arms. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ What would you do if [Eb] I [Ebm] died like this right now here in [Bb] your _ arms?
That we ever should have met is a [Eb] _
[Cm] miracle.
No inevitable.
That [Bb] inevitable, yes, but I confess it was the [Eb] look.
The look.
The sadness in your [B] eyes that day when we [Abm] glanced at each other in the park.
We were [Dbm] both unhappy.
[Ab] Unhappiness can be [Dbm] seductive.
You [Db] pitied me. _
_ How quickly [Gb] pity leads to _
[Abm] love.
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] All [B] this happiness _
_ [Gb] merely from a [B] glance in the park. _
So much happiness.
_ _ [Gb]
So much [B] _ love.
_ [Bbm] I thought I knew what love was.
_ I wish we might [E] have met so much sooner.
I could have given you [Bbm] _
_ my youth.
I thought I knew [Ab] how much I could feel.
All the [Bb] time we lost.
I didn't [Db] know what love was.
[Ab] I've never known [D] what love was.
And now [G] I do. _
_ _ It's what I feel with [C]
you.
_ _ The happiness I [C] feel with you.
_ [Ebm] So [B] much happiness.
[Gb]
You [E] are so beautiful.
Happening by [B] chance in a park.
Not by chance.
By necessity.
Surely this is happiness.
By the sadness that we saw in each other.
No one else has ever [Ebm] felt before.
Just another [Abm] love [E] story. _
That's what they [Abm] would _ claim.
_ Another simple love story.
Aren't all of them the same?
[Db] _ No, but this [A] is more.
We feel [Bb] more.
This is so [E] much _ [C]
more.
[Dbm] _ _ Like every [Gbm] other [Abm] love story.
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Gbm] _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] Some [B] say happiness [Gb] _ _ _ comes [B] and _ [B] _
goes.
Then this happiness is a kind of [Gb] happiness no one [B] really [Ebm] knows. _
I [Ebm] thought I [E] knew what love was.
I'd only heard what love was.
I thought it was no more [Abm] than a name for [Gb] yearning.
I thought it was [Ebm] what kindness became.
I'm [Em]
learning.
I thought where there [B] was love, there was [Abm]
shame.
[Gb] But with _ _ [F] you, _ [Db] _
there's just [B] _ happiness. _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [B] Endless happiness. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ What?
_ [Gb] Not now.
Tell me, please.
_ [B] _
I've received my orders from headquarters. _
I've been transferred to the 4th Brigade.
_ When?
I leave in five days.
_ _ Though I'll be far away, we will always have each other.
_ Clara, please don't look so [Abm] sad.
What?
_ [A] You're the one that makes me happy.
We'll make the most of the next four days.
We will steal as much time as we can. _
And after I leave, we'll write each other.
Daily.
[F] We'll make love with our words.
_ You'll be with me every day, Clara.
_ _ I must go.
[Dm] _ I'm expected.
_ _ [C] _ God, [F] _
you are so [C] beautiful.
_ _ [F] _
I love to [C] see you in the light.
Clear and beautiful.
_ _ Memorize [Am] every inch, every [Ab] part of you [G] to take with me.
Georgia.
[F] Your feet so soft as if [G] they'd never touch the ground.
Don't.
[D] Your skin so white, so pure, [G] so delicate.
Not now.
Your [Dm] smell so sweet, your breath [D] so warm.
I will [Gb] summon you in my mind.
I'm painting [F] you impeccably on my mind.
Let me go.
[E] We must fill every moment.
_ [B] All this happiness [E] _ _
_ ended by a word in the dark.
Oh my love, oh my darling.
So much happiness _ wasn't [A] meant to last.
I am here, I am with you, I am yours.
I'll return you [D] with love.
_ [Em] I [Gb] always thought I didn't deserve it.
Your breath, your lips.
I want [D] you every minute of my [Em] life.
[Eb] I don't know how _ _ [Ab] I'll always be here.
I don't know how.
[F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Don't leave me.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
