the The - True Happiness This Way Lies chords
Start Jamming...
[Em] I wanted [N]
something so [Em] badly that it possessed your [E] body and your soul through the night
and through the day until you finally get it and then you realize [N] that it wasn't what
you wanted after all.
[E] And then those self-same [C] sickly little thoughts now [N] go and attach themselves to something
or somebody new and the whole goddamn thing starts all over again.
[E] Well I've been crushing the symptoms but [F] I can't locate the cause.
[G] Could God [Am] really be so cruel [C] to give us feelings [D] that could live
[E] [Am] [Em]
up [A] my side?
[C] Sit on you.
[D] [E] I [Am] got my [C]
side.
[G] Sit [E] on you.
And [A] someday, [C] someday, [D] [E] someday, yeah, [A] [Am] [G] [C]
[A] you'll come [E] my way.
[A] But when you put your arms [C] around me, [D] [E] [Am] [E]
I'll [A] be [C] looking over your shoulder [G] for something [E] new.
Cause I ain't [Bm] never found peace upon [A] the breast of a girl.
[Em] I ain't never found peace with [A] the religion of the world.
[E] I ain't [Bm] never found peace [A] at the bottom of a glass.
Sometimes [C] it seems the more [G] I ask [E] for, the less I receive.
Sometimes [A] it seems [C] the more [D] I ask [E]
for, the less I [Em] receive.
The only [Am] true freedom [Em] [C] is freedom from [G] the [E] heart's desires.
And the only [A] true happiness [G]
[F] this [E] way lies.
