HAPPINESS IS

INTRO:

E

              C#m
If you should change your name,
    B
I'd love you just the same
                  E
And if you should run away,
A
I would save your place
           C#m
So you can go, go, go
       B
If you want to
                   E         A
I wouldn't try and stop you
  C#m            B
I couldn't say I blame you


C#m               A
Flicker, flicker, fade,
  E                 B
Destroy what you create
    C#m           A               E     B
And wonder why it always ends the same
    A                             E
You wonder why it always ends the same


                C#m
When I said, "I hate that song
      B
About fire and sex you love,"
           E
I couldn't tell you why
      A
Why I did it, why I lied
                C#m
And I know it's wrong, wrong, wrong
              B
It's evil but true
                    E
It's what I want to make you
    A
(So I can say I blame you)
   C#m         B
So I can say I blame you


C#m               A
Flicker, flicker, fade,
  E                 B
Destroy what you create
    C#m           A               E     B
And wonder why it always ends the same
C#m               A
Flicker, flicker, fade,
  E                 B
Destroy what you create
    C#m           A               E     B
And wonder why it always ends the same
    A
You wonder why it always ends
                                  E
You wonder why it always ends the same

E              A                          C#m
 You live your life like you're not in control
            A         B
Like you're playing a role
E              A                          C#m
 You live your life like you're not in control
            A         B
Like you're playing a role (convince me)

You wonder why it always ends the same (convince me)

Destroy what you create

You live your life like you're
C#m
Not in control, like you're
A
Playing a role that says

You live your life like you're
C#m
Not in control, like you're
B
Playing a role that says

   C#m              B    A
Destroy what you create
                                  E
And wonder why it always ends the same
