Icon For Hire - Happy Hurts

Capo: 4th fret

INTRO:
NONE

CHORUS:
Em C G D
Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh oh
Em C G D
Blame it on the monsters in my mind, oh oh oh
Em C
I’ve been getting better
G D
At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh
Em C G
What’s wrong with me when happy hurts?
D Em
Happy hurts

VERSE: (RAP)
Em C
This on again, off again tempermental affection
G D
For my darkened depression is making me go mad
Em C
I hear there’s a fine line between crazy and sad
G D
But I can’t tell the difference up close
Em C
There’s a lot of us you know ill and undiagnosed
G D
But I don’t need a piece of paper to tell me what I already know
Em C G
I’m not alright, for tonight, can we let that be alright?
D
Pick up the battle again in the morning light

PRE-CHORUS: (RAP)
Em C
And I’m fighting so hard to come out of the dark
G D
Trying to turn off the night, finally let in the light
Em C
Trying to make my misery just a piece of my history
G D
A little less victim, a little more victory

CHORUS:
Em C G D
Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh oh
Em C G D
Blame it on the monsters in my mind, oh oh oh
Em C
I keep getting better
G D
At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh
Em C G
What’s wrong with me when happy hurts?
(D) Em
Happy hurts

VERSE: (RAP)
Em C
Today I feel okay guess it was all just in my head
G D
I just need to try harder I guess
Em C
Yeah everyone else in the world seems to be doing alright
G
Yeah, I’m alright for tonight
D
Can we let the pain and the happy mix
Em C
Can the two coexist? The beauty next to the mess
G D
Because I swear I have them both already beating in my chest
Em C
If that makes me crazy even numbers don’t lie
G D
But I don’t call that crazy I call it being alive

PRE-CHORUS: (RAP)
Em C
And I’m fighting so hard to come out of the dark
G D
Trying to turn off the night, finally let in the light
Em C
Trying to make my misery just a piece of my history
G D
A little less victim, please

CHORUS:
Em C G D
Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh oh
Em C G D
Blame it on the monsters in my mind, oh oh oh
Em C
I keep getting better
G D
At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh
Em C G
What’s wrong with me when happy hurts?
D Em C G Bm Em C G D
Happy hurts

VERSE: (RAP)
Em C
If I had to pick between the way that I am
G D
And the way that everybody else seems to pretend
Em C
I wouldn’t consider it, not for even a second
G D
Between psycho and sanity, it’s not even a question
Em C
My favorite parts of myself seem to make the least sense,
G D
All the cracks in my skin they just let the light in
Em C
My favorite parts of myself make the least sense
G D
All the cracks in my skin let the light in

CHORUS:
Em C G D
Happy hurts sometimes, oh oh oh
Em C G D
All I want’s the one thing I can’t fi-ind
Em C
I keep getting better
G D
At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh
Em C G D Em C
What’s wrong with me when happy hur-urts?

G D Em C G D
What’s wrong with me when happy hurts?

OUTRO:

G D
At slowly getting worse, oh oh oh
