D  A/C#    Bm7     A    G                  
  Ariella, seven thirty 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       G
As you know I've never been a praying man  
        Bb     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  
     Bb            C          D 
it's because happiness writes white 

[Chorus]
D            A/C#          Bm7           A                        D
  I tried to put it into words, but the words just sound like mistakes 
           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 
[Verse 2]
D   A/C#     Bm7    A    G 
  Ariella, eleven thirty 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  
          Bb     F           G 
I've been in the tall grass all my life 
        D      A/C#              C                G 
Until you came along now there's one less thing wrong 
     Bb           C            D 
even though happiness writes white 

[Bridge]
D  A/C#      Bm7   A          G 
     I know happiness writes white 
D  A/C#      Bm7   A          G 
     I know happiness writes white 
D  A/C#      Bm7   A          G 
     I know happiness writes white 
D  A/C#      Bm7   A          G 
     I know happiness writes white 
D  A/C#      Bm7   A          G 
     I know happiness writes white
