[Verse 1]
He [Em]told me that much and now [G]he's [C]dead
Told me to kill my in[D]dul[Em]gences
[Am]With a sharp blow to the temple[Em]
Pick up the phone call and
[B]do everything he says
[Em]I could take a plastic camera[G]
[C]We could make such a pretty pic[D]tur[Em]e
[Am]Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy[Em]
I'm pretty cool once you
[B]get to know [Em]me

[Verse 2]
[Em]I feel [Am]at some point I broke [C]my mind
I'm [Am]always searching the silent type
How do you all make it look so [Em]easy?
You open your hearts up so [B]quickly,

[Verse 3]
it scares me
[Em]She's an artist, paints across my ch[C]est
Goes to parties,
act like [D]hotel [Em]guests[Am]
Wake up Monday, [Em]now it's over
Don't you know no one [B]gets
what they came here for?
[Em]I could paint her, wrapped around her[G]
[C]We could make such a pretty pic[D]ture
[Am]Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy[Em]
I'm pretty cool once you
[B]get to know me
[C]

[Verse 4]
But I'm just the [Am]same
I've got a boring [Em]name
[G]Across the world from what you want
and what [Am]you came [C]here for
So I'll wait here [Am]for you
Said, "Please, just let me [Em]stay"
Oh, just let me [G]stay, [Am]oh[C][Em]

[Verse 5]
I guess you know now what to [G]ex [C]pect
He lives your own life in [D]retro[Em]spect
[Am]You know it bores me?
These insecurities
[Em]Breaks you down just to
[B]act as the architect
[Em]I could wait here, by the west pier[G]
[C]Watch the flotsam float,
slowly [D]disap[Em]pear
[Am]Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy
[Em]If only you knew just how much[B] better things could[Em] be[B]
[Em][G][B]
