----Verse 1-----
F#maj
Every now and then
G#maj
I get a little too close
A#minor G#maj
To a kind of truth that's not worth thinking about
F#maj
But you can't stop the mind from wandering
G#maj
You've gotta slow it down
A#minor G#maj
Maybe get yourself under control
----Verse 2----
F#maj
And it's hard to stop the pondering
G#maj
And there have been points when
A#minor G#maj F#maj
I feel like I've been on a roll
But then those curtains get drawn
G#maj
And the chances that you thought you had
A#minor G#maj F#maj
They really come to nothing at all
-----Chorus----
F#maj C#maj
And I have no need
A#minor
For such things
G#maj Eb minor
But to make you happy
C#maj F#maj
Does it make you happy?
F#maj C#maj A#minor
And I've busted strings on this guitar
G#maj Eb minor
Makes me feel like I'm getting nowhere
C#maj F#maj
Could you make me happy?
F#maj A#minor
And if you keep me on your right
G#maj F#maj
Could I keep you on my left?
----Verse----
And there's a question on your lips
On your finger tips
Stabbing in the dark
Like you're cut, cut,
Cutting your fringe back
But it's grown out at such an angle
That the shears aren't sharp
You've got to straight, straight,
Straighten the blades up
----Bridge----
And if I could make it easier
I would always try to make it easier
But to be a cautious operator
Is the way to
Stop this falling apart
----Chorus----
And I have no need
For such things
But to make you happy
Does it make you happy?
And I've busted strings on this guitar
Makes me feel like I'm getting nowhere
Could you make me happy?
And I have no need
For such things
But to make you happy
Make you happy
Does it make you happy?
Does it make you happy?
And if you keep me on your right
Could I keep you on my left?
