Happiness Writes White

:D  A/C#: B7 A: G  G: G  G:  (2 times for intro)


D  A/C#  B7   A     G
Ariella, 7:30 I don't want to get up yet
D  A/C#  B7   A     G
Listen to the morning music cursing the alarm you set

       D               A/C#    A/C
As you know I've never been a praying man
G       Bb     F              G
I don't need a God to make me feel alright
        D      A/C#       A/C      G
But if you wonder why I never wrote you a song
     Bb            A/C        D
it's because happiness writes white

D          A/C#             B7        A
I tried to put it into words, but the words just sound like mistakes
D          A/C#             B7        A
I tried to find a set of chords, but you know how long that takes me
D          A/C#             B7        A
I can't trust my fingers, I can't trust my tongue
D          A/C#             B7        A
The work is too important and we're no longer young after all
D          A/C#             B7        A
When I consider what you put up with I'm amazed you still have skin
D          A/C#             B7        A
When I consider what you mean to me... it's everything
D          A/C#             B7        A
                       It's everything

D  A/C#  B7   A     G
Ariella, 11:30 I don't want to go to sleep
D  A/C#  B7   A     G
turn the TV off already curse the hours we have to keep

       D               A/C#    A/C
as you know I've never been a confident man
G       Bb     F              G
I've been in the tall grass all my life
        D      A/C#      A/C      G
Until you came along now there's one less thing wrong
     Bb            A/C        D
even though happiness writes white

D  A/C#  B7   A     G
I know happiness writes white
I know happiness writes white
I know happiness writes white
I know happiness writes white
D  A/C#  B7   A     G (end on G)
I know hapinesss writes white


Notes: A/C# represents an A major chord with a C# in the bass.
So the bass line goes D, C#, B, A, G for the majority of the songt.
Also the song makes heavy use of a repeated A
(you can hear it on the up beats during the intro).
