Standard (EADGBE)

Ariella, 7:30 I don't want to get up yet

Listen to the morning music cursing the alarm you set

As you know I've never been a praying man

I don't need a God to make me feel alright

But if you wonder why I never wrote you a song

it's because happiness writes white

I tried to put it into words, but the words just sound like mistakes

I tried to find a set of chords, but you know how long that takes me

I can't trust my fingers, I can't trust my tongue

The work is too important and we're no longer young after all

When I consider what you put up with I'm amazed you still have skin

When I consider what you mean to me... it's everything

It's everything

Ariella, 11:30 I don't want to go to sleep

turn the TV off already curse the hours we have to keep

as you know I've never been a confident man

I've been in the tall grass all my life

Until you came along now there's one less thing wrong

even though happiness writes white

I know happiness writes white

I know happiness writes white

I know happiness writes white

I know happiness writes white

(end on )

I know happinesss writes white

Notes:

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

So the bass line goes , , , , 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).
