D5 A5 B5 A5 G5
Ariella, 7:30 I don't want to get up yet
D5 A5 B5 A5 G5
Listen to the morning music cursing the alarm you set
D5 A5 A5
As you know I've never been a praying man
G5 Bb5 F5 G5
I don't need a God to make me feel alright
D5 A5 A5 G5
But if you wonder why I never wrote you a song
Bb5 A5 D5
it's because happiness writes white
D5 A5 B5 A5
I tried to put it into words, but the words just sound like mistakes
D5 A5 B5 A5
I tried to find a set of chords, but you know how long that takes me
D5 A5 B5 A5
I can't trust my fingers, I can't trust my tongue
D5 A5 B5 A5
The work is too important and we're no longer young after all
D5 A5 B5 A5
When I consider what you put up with I'm amazed you still have skin
D5 A5 B5 A5
When I consider what you mean to me... it's everything
D5 A5 B5 A5
It's everything
D5 A5 B5 A5 G5
Ariella, 11:30 I don't want to go to sleep
D5 A5 B5 A5 G5
turn the TV off already curse the hours we have to keep
D5 A5 A5
as you know I've never been a confident man
G5 Bb5 F5 G5
I've been in the tall grass all my life
D5 A5 A5 G5
Until you came along now there's one less thing wrong
Bb5 A5 D5
even though happiness writes white
D5 A5 B5 A5 G5
I know happiness writes white
I know happiness writes white
I know happiness writes white
I know happiness writes white
D5 A5 B5 A5 G5 (end on G5 )
I know hapinesss writes white
Notes:
A5 represents an A5 major chord with a C#5 in the bass/
So the bass line goes D5 , C#5 , B5 , A5 , G5 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).
