The Happy Song

Em
Spoken: A Buddhist on the subway 
tells me that
What you want is rarely, if ever, 
what you need.
And of course, I argue the point 
like a completely self-righteous 
idiot.

     Em
Sung: I was looking for perfection
            Am                     
And it found me, right between the 
Em
eyes
Em
All this time we spent in bliss,
                  Am               
You know, like all things, it has 
       Em
to fade away
C
The devil says beware
             B7                    
Cus when you ask, you might get 
      Em
what you want
C
The devil, he may care
        B7                         
When you ask, you might get what 
 Em
you want



Em
Spoken: So now I spend most of my 
time waiting for things to happen,
Letting the wind take me where it 
will.



      Em
Sung: Only when it's done do you 
lose the veil
            Am                     
You get so blind you never see the 
 Em
light coming down the tracks

It keeps me hanging from a thread
                  Am
Devil drives the train,
              Em
Devil pass me by



C                                  
This is the happy song I wrote for 
Em
you
C                                 
This is the happy song I never 
       B7
wrote for you


G
And after all this time,
C
And after all the lies
G                                 
Never dreamed you would seem to me
B7                                
 little more than an earthly waste
     G
 of time
After all these precious 
C                    G
opportunities that I had to set 
things right
                 B7
Dissolve like regrets in heaven, 
they do

And she said


Em            Am         Em
Anata no namae o yuki ni kaku
              Am     Em
Keredomo nani mo iwanai.
[Japanese translation: You write 
your name in the snow
Yet say nothing.]



C                     Em
This is the happy song I wrote for 
you
C                     B7
This is the happy song I never wrote
 for you




G
And after all this time,
C
And after all the lies
G                                 
Never dreamed you would seem to me
B7                                
 little more than an earthly waste
     G
 of time
After all these precious 
C                    G
opportunities that I had to set 
things right
             B7
Dissolve like regret in heaven,
               (tab for this is 
below)
Zen Buddhist heaven.



Tab for the end (is played on B7, 
but you van actually end the song 
with just Em, if the tab
is difficult for ya:))
