Here's a tabbed version of the song which follows the piano pretty closely.
It's a beautiful song, and I love the message.
Enjoy!

INTRO
VERSE
Someone once told me that you have to choose what you win or lose
You can't have everything
Don't you take chances, you might feel the pain, don't you love in vain
Cause love won't set you free
PRE-CHORUS
I could stand by the side and watch this life pass me by
So unhappy but safe as could be
CHORUS
So what if it hurts me? So what it I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cause I'm just trying to be happy I just wanna be happy, yeah
VERSE
Holding on tightly, just can't let go, just trying to play my role
Slowly disappear
But all these days, they feel like they're the same,
Just different faces, different names
Get me out of here
PRE-CHORUS
I can't stand by the side, ooh no, and watch this life pass me by,
Pass me by
CHORUS
So what if it hurts me? So what it I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cause I'm just trying to be happy Oh, happy, oh
BRIDGE
So when it turns that I can't see, like I'm a stranger on this road
But don't say victim, don't say anything
CHORUS/OUTRO
So what if it hurts me? So what it I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
I just wanna be happy happy, happy,
I just wanna be happy Oh Happy
