Chords with lyrics

Happiness III - Steven Wilson

Capo on 3rd

Hello everyone, just listened to the album 4 1/2 and absolutely loved this track,
so I thought I would tab it out for you all, the song isn't too hard, mostly just
chords but the timing of the hammerons might take a listen or two. And as always,
if there is anything I missed or needs changing, let me know. Anyway, enjoy!

Intro/verse

play this during all of the verse unless another chord is specified and go back to this on D MajorD
Also, ofter the first chorus, you play this in a bit of a ska style.

BB|---3--3-3-3-3----3--3-3-3-3----|
G+G|---2--2-2-2-2----2--2-2-2-2----|
D MajorD|---0--0-0-0-0----0--0-0-0-0----|

D MajorD
Something in this town is draining me
Could be the junk food or the gasoline
I hide it well

Tangled up in my last cigarette for a hundred years
I'm not as much of a slave to it as I appear

    FF  C majorC  D MajorD
I'm just bored

 -chorus-
FF                       C majorC
 Sorry that was cruel I only meant for you to lose your balance in the snow
G+G                    D MajorD
 Slip on the ice so I can catch you fall
FF                           C majorC
 Sorry that's not true I didn't think that you would take it all to heart

-verse-

D MajorD
I'm tired of burning up the time at my PC
I only end up downloading the same old pornography
      FF  C majorC  D MajorD
The same old scene

-chorus-

FF                       C majorC
 Sorry that was cruel I only meant for you to lose your balance in the snow
G+G                     D MajorD
 Slip on the ice so I can catch you fall
FF                           C majorC
 Sorry that's not true I didn't think that you would take it all to heart
G+G                         D MajorD
 I just to made it up so I could watch you crawl
FF                       C majorC
 Sorry if I'm rude I'm getting at your side a darker mood comes over me

-solo (see below and D MajorD in the style of the intro is played)-
D MajorD
Are there any reasons left to get out of bed
Is there anything else I can write that I haven't read
       FF C majorC D MajorD
It's all been said

-chorus-
FF                       C majorC
 Sorry that was cruel I only meant for you to lose your balance in the snow
G+G                  D MajorD
 Slip on the ice so I can catch you fall
FF                           C majorC
 Sorry that's not true I didn't think that you would take it all to heart
G+G                       D MajorD
 I just to made it up so I could watch you crawl
FF                       C majorC
 Sorry if I'm rude I'm getting at your side a darker mood comes over me
G+G                     D MajorD
 And it's always worse in the shopping mall
FF                       C majorC
 Sorry that was cruel I only meant for you to lose your balance in the snow
G+G                    D MajorD
 Slip on the ice so I can catch you fall
FF                   C majorC
 Sorry that's not true I didn't think that you would take it all to heart
G+G                       D MajorD
 I just to made it up so I could watch you crawl...
