Violently Happy Acoustic

• Em

So, I tried to write down the chords and riffs of the acoustic version of "Violently 
(Debut Live).
But I believe Bjork never paraphrases this song identically and so this is one version 
many!


Em    Dm
Since I
C   Dm  Em
met you
     Dm       C
this small town
       Dm       Em
hasn't got room
     Dm       C     Dm
for my big feelings

Riff A (play it 4 times)


F         Em      G7         C
Violently happy - 'cause I love you
F         Em      G7         C
Violently happy - but you're not here
F         Em      G7           C         G7         C
Violently happy - come calm me down before I get into trouble

F - Em - Am
F - Em - Am - Em

F         Em          Am
I tip-toe down to the shore
F     Em     Am
stand by the ocean
F    Em  Am
make it roar at me
F   Em    Am
and I roar back

(chords: see above)
Violently happy - 'cause I love you
Violently happy - but you're not here
Violently happy - overemotional
Violently happy - I'll get into trouble real soon if you don't get here BABY
