Artist: The Fray
Song: Happiness
First Tab woo hoo! :)
This song isn't released yet. Isaac has played it live a number of times. When I saw him
he said the song was dedicated to his father.
Incredibly simple song but incredibly beautiful.

Capo 2nd Fret
Happiness
is just outside my window
Would it crash
blowing 80-miles an hour?
Or is happiness
a little more like knocking
On your door,
and you just let it in?
Happiness
feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be,
you can’t make it come or go
But you are gone-
not for good but for now
Gone for now
feels a lot like gone for good
Happiness
is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness
was never mine to hold
Careful child,
light the fuse and get away
‘Cause happiness
throws a shower of sparks
Happiness
damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith
to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself,
that’s probably enough for now
Happiness
has a violent roar
x2
Happiness
is like the old man told me
Look for it,
but you’ll never find it all
(Isaac stops playing here and just sings but you can keep the guitar going)
But let it go,
live your life and leave it
(And then he starts back up here)
Then one day,
wake up and she’ll be home
Home,
home,
home
Like I said, incredibly simple.
I hope it sounds correct.
