• D

:D  A/C#: Bm7 A: G  G: G  G:  (2 times for intro) 

D  A/C#  Bm7   A     G                  
Ariella, 7:30 I don't want to get up yet 
D  A/C#  Bm7   A     G 
Listen to the morning music cursing the alarm you set 


       D               A/C#    C      
As you know I've never been a praying man  
G       Bb     F              G 
I don't need a God to make me feel alright 
        D      A/C#         C      G 
But if you wonder why I never wrote you a song  
     Bb            C          D 
it's because happiness writes white 


D          A/C#             Bm7        A 
I tried to put it into words, but the words just sound like mistakes 
D          A/C#             Bm7        A 
I tried to find a set of chords, but you know how long that takes me 
D          A/C#             Bm7        A 
I can't trust my fingers, I can't trust my tongue 
D          A/C#             Bm7        A 
The work is too important and we're no longer young after all  
D          A/C#             Bm7        A 
When I consider what you put up with I'm amazed you still have skin 
D          A/C#             Bm7        A 
When I consider what you mean to me... it's everything 
D          A/C#             Bm7        A 
                       It's everything 


D  A/C#  Bm7   A     G 
Ariella, 11:30 I don't want to go to sleep 
D  A/C#  Bm7   A     G 
turn the TV off already curse the hours we have to keep 


       D               A/C#    C        G
as you know I've never been a confident man  
          Bb     F           G 
I've been in the tall grass all my life 
        D      A/C#      A/C      G 
Until you came along now there's one less thing wrong 
     Bb              C        D 
even though happiness writes white 


D  A/C#  Bm7   A     G 
I know happiness writes white 

I know happiness writes white 

I know happiness writes white 

I know happiness writes white 
D  A/C#  Bm7   A     G (end on G ) 
I know happinesss writes white

Notes: 
A/C# represents an A major chord with a C# in the bass/   

So the bass line goes D , C# , B , A , G for the majority of the songt.   
Also the song makes heavy use of a repeated A  
(you can hear it on the up beats during the intro).
