[Intro]
C G C G
[Verse 1]
G C G
Honey, when I'm above the trees
C G
I see this for what it is
Am
But now I'm right down in it,
G
all the years I've given
C G
Is just shit we're dividin' up
Am G
Showed you all of my hiding spots
C G
I was dancing when the music stopped
Am G C
And in the disbelief, I can't face reinvention
G C
I haven't met the new me yet
[Chorus]
G Em
There'll be happiness after you
G C
But there was happiness because of you
G Em
Both of these things can be true
G
There is happiness
[Post-Chorus]
C G
Past the blood and bruise
Am G
Past the curses and cries
C G
Beyond the terror in the nightfall
Am7 G
Haunted by the look in my eyes
C
That would've loved you for a lifetime
G
Leave it all behind
Am7 G
And there is happiness
[Verse 2]
C G Am7
Tell me, when did your winning smile
G C
Begin to look like a smirk?
G Am7 Cm
When did all our lessons start to look like weapons
G C
Pointed at my deepest hurt?
G Am7
I hope she'll be your beautiful fool
G C
Who takes my spot next to you
G
No, I didn't mean that
Am7 G
Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury
C G Am7 G
You haven't met the new me yet
[Chorus]
C G
There'll be happiness after me
Am7 G
But there was happiness because of me
C G
Both of these things, I believe
Am7
There is happiness
[Post-Chorus]
G C G Am7
In our history, across our great divide
G C
There is a glorious sunrise
G Am7
Dappled with the flickers of light
G
From the dress I wore at midnight,
C
leave it all behind
G Am7 G
And there is happiness
[Bridge]
Dm C Am G
I can't make it go away by making you a villain
Dm C F G
I guess it's the price I paid for seven years in Heaven
Am C
And I pulled your body into mine
G Am
Every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties
Dm C
No one teaches you what to do
F
When a good man hurts you
G
And you know you hurt him, too
[Verse 3]
C G Am7
Honey, when I'm above the trees
G C
I see it for what it is
G Am7
But now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow
G C
where you used to lay your head
G Am7
After giving you the best I had
G C
Tell me what to give after that
G Am7
All you want from me now is the green
G
light of forgiveness
C G
You haven't met the new me yet
Am7 G
And I think she'll give you that
[Chorus]
C G
There'll be happiness after you
Am7 Cm G C
But there was happiness because of you, too
G
Both of these things can be true
Am
There is happiness
[Post-Chorus]
G C G Am7
In our history, across our great divide
G C
There is a glorious sunrise
G Am
Dappled with the flickers of light
G
From the dress I wore at midnight,
C G
leave it all behind
Am G
Oh, leave it all behind
C
Leave it all behind
G
And there is happiness
[Instrumental]
