Brighter Discontent

Intro: G, C

During the verse you only play the 
6th and 5th string on the guitar. 
The C is only
the 5th and 4th.

During the other parts of the song, 
it is the full chords.

G                        C      G
Got a brand new roof above my head
G                    C      G
All the empty boxes thrown away
Em
I rearranged the place a hundred 
times today
C
But the ordering of objects couldn't
 hide whats missing

G         C              Am      
All these things, should make me 
C
happy
Am      C
Make me happy to be home again
G         C              Am      
All these things, should make me 
C
happy
Am            C
Make me happy to be alone again

G                      C   G
Got myself a bottle of red wine
G                        C       G
Got a night with nothing else to do
Em
I think I might know what I really 
want
C
But is a brighter discontent the 
best that I can hope to find
G                      C   G
Got a big black television set
Continues after the ad
G                     C     G
Now I can watch just what I want
Em
But I'm here staring up at pictures 
on the wall
C
Where are you, you're still stuck 
inside 'em all


G         C              Am      
All these things, should make me 
C
happy
Am      C
Make me happy to be home again
G         C              Am      C
All these days, should make me happy
Am      C
Make me happy to be alone again

G           D                    
But love is not these belongings 
        Am
and surroundings
C                          
Though theres meaning in the 
                  G
memories they hold
           D                
A breaking heart in an empty 
  Am
apartment
C                            G
Was the loudest sound I ever heard

G, Am, C

G                        C      G
Got a desk, I'll write myself a note
G                  C         G
Pretending that it came from you
Em
On hotel stationary, from the time 
we first met
C
Whatever I can do, 'cause I won't 
throw my hands up yet

G         C              Am      
All these things, should make me 
C
happy
Am      C
Make me happy to be home again
G         C              Am      
All these things, should make me 
C
happy
Am      C
Make me happy to be alone again

G           D                    
But love is not these belongings 
       Am
that surround you
C                          
Though theres meaning in the 
                G
memories they hold
           D                
A breaking heart in an empty 
    Am
apartment
C                           G
Was the loudest sound I ever heard

G, D, Am, C x2

G                   D         
But I'll be fine if I don't look 
     Am            C
around me that
G    D         Am    C
much for whats gone
   G           D                
If only I could wait here just a
Am              C
 little while
    G             D     Am    C
and let time pass in my room
