D A/C# Bm7 A G
ariella , 7 : 30 i don’t want to get up yet
D A/C# Bm7 A G
listen to the morning music cursing the alarm you set

D A/C# C
as you know i’ve never been a praying man
G A# F G
i don’t need a god to make me feel alright
D A/C# C G
but if you wonder why i never wrote you a song
A# C D
it’s because happiness writes white

D A/C# Bm7 A
i tried to put it into words , but the words just sound like mistakes
D A/C# Bm7 A
i tried to find a set of chords , but you know how long that takes me
D A/C# Bm7 A
i can’t trust my fingers , i can’t trust my tongue
D A/C# Bm7 A
the work is too important and we’re no longer young after all
D A/C# Bm7 A
when i consider what you put up with i’m amazed you still have skin
D A/C# Bm7 A
when i consider what you mean to me . . . it’s everything
D A/C# Bm7 A
it’s everything

D A/C# Bm7 A G
ariella , 11 : 30 i don’t want to go to sleep
D A/C# Bm7 A G
turn the tv off already curse the hours we have to keep

D A/C# C G
as you know i’ve never been a confident man
A# 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
A# C D
even though happiness writes white

D A/C# Bm7 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# Bm7 A G ( end on G )
i know happinesss 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 ) .
