• Song:

    Happiness Of Being Twice

  • Artist:

    The Future Islands

Tune down a full-step (DGCFAD)
As an alternative, you can use standard tuning and use D#/A#/F instead of F/C/G, but I think the
dropped tuning is a closer approximation to the actual song and gets that bassy feeling better.

INTRO

F5 C5 G5 x2

F5                                   C5                G5                    F5
you walk to the park as the setting sun and sit as a stone til the day is done
                                     C5                   G5               F5
you build us a house from sticks and shrubs and huddle inside til i come home
                              C5          G5             F5
there's a saying where i come from no mistake is truly wrong
                                     C5               G5               C5
as the hole in my heart is where you fit your casual limbs inside my ribs


CHORUS

G5                   C5
that's what we call life 
        F5                C5
for the first time i can feel tonight
G5                  C5          F5   C5
that's how we fall light
G5                   C5
that's why we share life
        F5            C5
for the happiness of being twice
G5                C5        F5
half of a flawed kite



                         C5   
come and catch me
    G5             F5
i'm razor-like in half-sleep
                  C5
try and find me
    G5                F5
i'm deep in the shallows
                         C5
you can save me from the throes
          G5                F5
of winter nights in summer clothes
                         C5
you can have my life, my rose
    G5                F5        C5
for feathers and hallways

G5                        F5    C5 
and you teach me still
G5                        F5    C5 
and you hold me dear
G5                        F5    C5 
you unleash my will
G5                             C5    
and you always find me here

CHORUS
