Happy Unhappy - The Beths
Capo: 2
[Intro]
G C
Oh, Ohhhhh
G C
Oh, Ohhhhh
G C
Oh, Ohhhhh
G C
Oh, Ohhhhh
[Verse 1]
G C
I was higher than a biplane
G C
Then you hit me like a hurricane
G
I bailed out, hit the ground
C
Washed up in a storm drain
G C
Oh, Ohhhhh
G C
Stumbled up the driveway
G C
With a handshake and a slow wave
G
Now I'm crashed out on the couch
C C
Wondering if you feel the same
[Pre-Chorus]
G
'Cause you're in my brain taking up space
C
I need for remembering pins and to take out the bins
C
And that one particular film that that actor was in
C
I see your face superimposed over everything
Am
It ain't right
Am
(It ain't right)
D
(It ain't right)
[Chorus]
Em D
'Cause I was fine on my own
G C
Tolling steady like a dial tone
Em D
Couldn't you leave me?
C
I was happy unhappy
Em D
But now I'm overthrown
G C
Wish my heart were really made of stone
Am
And I could forget you
C
Like I really want to
[Interlude]
G C
Oh, Ohhhhh
G C
Oh, Ohhhhh
G C
Oh, Ohhhhh
G C
Oh, Ohhhhh
[Verse 2]
G C
I was living with your spare change
G C
In the pocket of your cutaways
G C
And I get so spent waiting on your lunch break
G C
Broke every window pane
(Oh, Ohhhhh)
G
So I can feel the cold rain
(Oh, Ohhhhh)
C
When I lie in bed catching death
(Oh, Ohhhhh)
G C
Trying to wash it all away
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G
'Cause you're in my brain taking up space
C
I need for delivering lies and suppressing the sighs
C
And for navigating escape when I get lost in your eyes
C
It's taking up all of my time just to keep it in line
Am
It ain't right
Am
(It ain't right)
D
(It ain't right)
[Chorus]
Em D
'Cause I was fine on my own
G C
Tolling steady like a dial tone
Em D
Couldn't you leave me?
C
I was happy unhappy
Em D
But now I'm overthrown
G C
Wish my heart were really made of stone
Am
And I could forget you
C
Like I really want to
[Instrumental]
Em G C
Ooo, OoooOoo
Em G C
Ahhhh, Ahhhhhh, Ah
[Chorus]
Em D
'Cause I was fine on my own
G C
Tolling steady like a dial tone
Em D
Couldn't you leave me?
C
I was happy unhappy
Em D
But now I'm overthrown
G C
Wish my heart were really made of stone
Am
And I could forget you
C
Like I really want to
[Outro]
C
I could forget you
C
I could forget you
C
I could forget you
