Artist: The Fray Song: Happiness First Tab woo hoo! :) This song isn't released yet. Isaac has played it live a number of times. When I saw him he said the song was dedicated to his father. Incredibly simple song but incredibly beautiful.

  Happiness

Fadd9                C
is just outside my window

Fadd9  C  Am7
Would it crash

Fadd9                C
blowing 80-miles an hour?

Fadd9  C  Am7
Or is happiness

Fadd9                C
a little more like knocking

Fadd9  C  Am7
On your door,

Fadd9                C
and you just let it in?
Fadd9 C Am7 Fadd9 C
Fadd9  C  Am7
   Happiness

Fadd9                C
feels a lot like sorrow

Fadd9  C  Am7
Let it be,

Fadd9                C
you can’t make it come or go

Fadd9  C  Am7
But you are gone-

Fadd9                C
not for good but for now

Fadd9  C  Am7
Gone for now

Fadd9                C
feels a lot like gone for good

Fadd9  C  Am7
   Happiness

Fadd9                C
is a firecracker sitting on my headboard

Fadd9  C  Am7
   Happiness

Fadd9                C
was never mine to hold

Fadd9  C  Am7
Careful child,

Fadd9                C
light the fuse and get away

Fadd9  C  Am7
‘Cause happiness

Fadd9                C
throws a shower of sparks
Fadd9 C Am7 Fadd9 C
Fadd9  C  Am7
   Happiness

Fadd9                C
damn near destroys you

Fadd9  C  Am7
Breaks your faith

Fadd9                C
to pieces on the floor

Fadd9  C  Am7
So you tell yourself,

Fadd9                C
that’s probably enough for now

Fadd9  C  Am7
   Happiness

Fadd9                C
has a violent roar
Fadd9 C Am7 Fadd9 C x2
Fadd9  C  Am7
   Happiness

Fadd9                C
is like the old man told me

Fadd9  C  Am7
Look for it,

Fadd9                C
but you’ll never find it all
(Isaac stops playing here and just sings but you can keep the guitar going)
Fadd9  C  Am7
But let it go,

Fadd9                C
live your life and leave it
(And then he starts back up here)
Fadd9  C  Am7
Then one day,

Fadd9                C
wake up and she’ll be home

Fadd9  C  Am7
   Home,
Fadd9 C
Fadd9  C  Am7
   home,
Fadd9 C
Fadd9  C  Am7
   home
Fadd9 C Like I said, incredibly simple. I hope it sounds correct. Any questions/comments/corrections: [email protected]
