Note: This is the acoustic version the song, featured on the album Still Can’t Kill Us.
In the original acoustic recording, the guitar is tuned a half-step down, to D# standard.
If you tune your guitar that way, transpose the chords up 1 semitone to play along the recording.
In the bridge, during "it's not even a question", the last chord played by the guitar is D#m,
but other instruments play a B note(and maybe an A# note afterwards to step down),
so a D#m/B (X24342) or a B (X24442) can be played instead.
[Intro]
G#m E B F# Happy hurts sometimes, oh G#m E B F# Blame it on the monsters in my mind G#m E B F# I've been getting better at slowly getting worse, oh G#m E B F# G#m What's wrong with me when happy hurts? Happy hurts
[Verse 1]
G#m E This on again off again temperamental affection F# D#m For my darling depression is making me go mad G#m E I hear there's a fine line between crazy and sad F# D#m But I can't tell a difference up close G#m E There's a lot of us you know, ill and un-diagnosed F# D#m But I don't need a piece of paper to tell me what i already know G#m E F# I'm not alright for tonight can we let that bе alright? D#m Pick up the battle again in the morning light
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m E And I'm fighting so hard to comе out of the dark F# D#m Trying to turn off the night finally let in the light G#m E Trying to make my misery just a piece of my history F# D#m A little less victim a little more victory
[Chorus]
G#m E B F# Happy hurts sometimes, oh G#m E B F# Blame it on the monsters in my mind oh G#m E B F# I keep getting better at slowly getting worse, oh G#m E B F# What's wrong with me when happy hurts? Happy hurts
[Verse 2]
G#m E So today i feel okay guess it was all just in my head F# D#m I just need to try harder i guess G#m E Yeah everyone else in the world seems to be doing alright F# D#m "Yeah i'm alright" for tonight can we let the pain and the happy mix? G#m E Can the two coexist? The beauty next to the mess F# D#m Because i swear i have them both already beating in my chest G#m E If that makes me crazy the numbers don't lie F# D#m But i don't call that crazy i call that being alive
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m E And I'm fighting so hard to comе out of the dark F# D#m Trying to turn off the night finally let in the light G#m E Trying to make my misery just a piece of my history F# D#m A little less victim please
[Chorus]
G#m E B F# Happy hurts sometimes, oh G#m E B F# Blame it on the monsters in my mind oh G#m E B F# I keep getting better at slowly getting worse, oh G#m E B F# What's wrong with me when happy hurts? Happy hurts
[Bridge]
G#m E F# D#m
G#m E F# D#m
G#m E If i had to pick between the way that i am F# D#m and the way that everybody else seems to pretend G#m E I wouldn't consider it not for even a second F# B between psycho and sanity it's not even a question G#m E My favorite parts of my self seems to make the least sense, F# D#m all the cracks in my skin they just let the light in G#m My favorite parts of myself make the least sense
N.C.
All the cracks in my skin let the light in
[Chorus]
G#m E B F# Happy hurts sometimes, oh G#m E B F# Blame it on the monsters in my mind oh G#m E B F# I keep getting better at slowly getting worse, oh G#m E B F# What's wrong with me when happy hurts? Happy hurts
