DESCRIPTION:
Sheryl Crow - If It Makes You Happy - live - 2002 - Nippon Budokan, Tokyo, Japan.

イフ・イット・メイクス・ユー・ハッピー

Even with her voice in shreds doing the high notes toward the end, it's still a great performance. Peter Stroud on lead guitar.

Lyrics:

I belong, a long way from here
I put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank 'til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen

Well, alright, I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?

You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again

Well alright Tokyo, I still get stoned
But I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

We've been far, far away from here
We put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between
Well alright we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?

If it makes you happy
He can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?

If it makes you happy
He can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?
