As you [D]know I've never [A/C#]been a p[C]raying man
[G]I don't [Bb]need a [F]God to make me [G]feel alright
But if y[D]ou wond[A/C#]er why I neve[C]r wrote[G] you a song
it's [Bb]because happin[C]ess writes [D]white
[D]I tried to [A/C#]put it into words[Bm7], but the w[A]ords just sound like mistakes
[D]I tried to [A/C#]find a set of cho[Bm7]rds, but yo[A]u know how long that takes me
[D]I can't tru[A/C#]st my fingers, I [Bm7]can't trust[A] my tongue
[D]The work is[A/C#] too important an[Bm7]d we're no [A]longer young after all

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).
