What's up guys, Thomas, and we are doing a little throwback to garbage.
Do you guys remember this one?
I'm only happy when it rains.
All right, so this one's super easy.
90s songs, [G#] barre chord central, turn up the distortion, and this one's kind of dark, so
we're going to be in A flat.
The dark chord.
[B] Four, six, six.
[G#] [F#] I'm only happy when [Em] it's complicated.
[C#] I'm only happy [E] when you appreciate it.
[F#] I'm only happy [G#] when it rains.
So here we go, A flat, and the strumming's going to go like this.
One, one, two, one, one, one.
So I'm only happy when it rains.
[F#] F sharp, [E] E, [C#] C sharp, back to E, [E] [F#] F sharp,
[G#] and we're back here.
So it's like a circle.
So we'll do A flat, F sharp, [E]
E, [C#] C sharp, E, [F#] F sharp, [G#] and then back here.
And as soon as you get back here, that's going to be the first G sharp as the next part. So, rain.
F sharp.
I'm only happy [Em] when it's complicated.
[C#] C sharp, no, [B] and appreciate [F#] it.
I'm only happy [G#] when it rains.
And here we [F#] go.
Lonely, loving, [B] living in news is [C#] bad.
Oh, why it feels [Em] so good, feels so sad.
[F#] I'm only happy when it.
[B] Instead of going here, I'm going to B.
Ah, it's a little happier.
I'm only happy when it rains.
There is some happiness to this.
And then we go.
[C#]
Pour your [G#] misery down [A] on, pour [Bm] your misery down on.
[C#] So the chorus, so that was all the verse.
The chorus is C sharp, four, six, six.
Pour [G#] your misery down.
G sharp or A flat, either one.
Then slide it up one [A] fret to A, and then slide [Bm] it up two frets to B.
[C#] Pour [G#] your misery down [A] on, pour [B] your misery down [C#] on.
Repeat it.
Pour your [G#] misery [A] down on, pour [B] your misery down on.
[F#] And then just go down to F sharp, because that is our connecting piece.
[B] I'm only happy when [G#] it rains.
[F#]
Back to [Em] the verse.
[C#]
I'm only [E] happy when I appreciate [F#] it.
I'm only happy [G#] when it rains.
[Em]
And then towards the end, they just do a cycle of, you know, three chords.
[D#] [E]
[C#m] This is G [E] sharp, E, C [C#] sharp.
And they just keep [D#] repeating it.
[C#] [G#m]
[E] [C#]
[G#] And just keep doing that over and over.
Thank you 90s for being super simple.
