As recorded by Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals (From the 1999 Album BURN TO SHINE) [Intro] G F G F [Verse 1]
G
I could give you more

G
But you still wouldn't be happy

G
I could give all you need

G
But you still wouldn't be satisfied

G
I could give to our poor

G                           F
Now what good would that be

G
You'd shake hands with Jesus

F       G
And you still would not believe
[Chorus]
          E  D         E
If you're happy with nothing

C               E D          E C
You'll be so very happy with me

    E   D      E   
The less you expect

C   E    D         E   C
The more you'll be pleased

    E    D         G   C   
The more you'll be pleased
[Interlude] A F E A F [Verse 2]
G
I could change your mind

G
But what would you really be thinking

G
I'll show you a sign

G
But you just pass it on by

                       F
I could hold your hand

    G
But then we'll both be sinking

G
The problem with the world

G
Is everyone's not just like you
[Chorus]
          E  D         E
If you're happy with nothing

    E   D      E   
The less you expect

C   E    D         G   C
The more you'll be pleased

The more you'll be pleased
