    Happiness Is Not A Fish...

Must give credit to polarizh whose tabs I originally started working from. I 
changed a lot to what I think sounds more fitting for translating this song to 
guitar (namely acoustic guitar). These are my first tabs and I hope some of you 
out there find it helpful!

(strike only twice for the first two lines and use vibrato if you like)
Am~    Am~
Lately I can't breathe
E~              E~
Waiting they're chasing me
Am     C            F      C
No one listens but I'm okay with it


Am     
Only I wonder why
   E
If only my hands weren't tied
   Am         C            F      C
The world's a blister but I'm okay with it


Aside:
(mute guitar)
	Don't touch me.


Chorus:
F       C    G
What if I was there
    F       C    G
And what if I was scared
    F       C    
I'm waiting for...
       F      C    
They're at my door
   F       Cadd9  G
But I'll be back again

    Am
I'm lonely, I'm wandering
  E 
Patrolling for enemies
Am     C            F      C
No one listens but I'm okay with it

(Here I play a Cadd9 a little after C just before muting the guitar)


Aside:
(mute guitar)
	Don't trust me.


Chorus:
F       C    G
What if I was there
    F       C    G
And what if I was scared
    F       C    
I'm waiting for...
       F      C    
They're at my door
   F       Cadd9  G
But I'll be back again
   F       Cadd9  G
And I'll be back again


Bridge:
C
   You wonder why
F       C
I don't know
C
   You shout at me
F      C
Let me go
C
   You wonder why
F       C
I don't know
C
   You shout at me
F
Let me go
F    C    G
F    C    G


chorus:
F       C    G
What if I was there
    F       C    G
And what if I was scared
    F       C    
I'm waiting for...
       F      C    
They're at my door
   F       Cadd9  G
But I'll be back again
    F       C    G
And what if I was there
    F       C    G
And what if I was scared
    F       C    
I'm waiting for...
       F      C    
They're at my door
   F       Cadd9  G
But I'll be back again
    F       C    
I'm waiting for...
       F      Gsus4  (let it ring)
They're at my door



Note: The bridge can be played with just C but I think it's more interesting to 
have another chord in there. Also, novice players can just play C and G instead of 
Cadd9 and Gsus4 if you must.
Thanks!
