Chords for Rex Orange County - Happiness (BBC Music Sound of 2018)

[E] _ I'd like to clap. _ _ _ _
_ _ My name [Db] is Rex Orange County.
[Ab] I'm 19 years old.
I wanted to be a [A] drummer when I was younger.
[Ab] After [Bm] playing drums for a long time, I realized that actually you can do [Abm] more by
being at the front of the stage [E] rather than the back for me.
This is the [Ab] church studios run [A] by Paul Edwards.
It's like my favorite studio in London.
_ [Gbm] _ [Bm] My whole band is [Db] coming today plus [E] all people playing strings.
You got these [G] string players literally just walked in the [C] room.
I haven't met them [Abm] yet, but they're here to make [Db] it sound even better than it is already.
[Ab] So I'm gonna go [E] say hi, _ and I'm playing this really nice grand [Ab] piano as well.
[Dbm] Pretty [Gb] weirdly emotional.
_ Jesus [B] Christ.
How did I get here?
I don't know.
But I'm [C] here.
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ [F] _ [E] The stuff that [D] I look at and think that's great.
It's like I just want to [B] get to that level and have people look up to me like that and then I'll be fine.
As long as I can still write the songs [E] and as long as I'm still playing them,
then yeah, I'll be happy [Db] forever.
_ [C] Cuz I'll be the [F] one
that stays [Bbm] till the end.
And I'll be [Dm] the one
that needs [Bbm] you again. _
And I'll be [F] the one that [Am]
proposes
[Cm] in a garden [D] of [Gb] roses
[Gm] and truly [Bb] loves you long after [C] our curtain closes.
_ [Dm] But will you still love [D] me when nobody
_ [Db] wants me _ [C] around? _
_ _ _ Around. _ _ _
[Db] When [Dm] I turn [D] 81 and forget things, [Db] will you still [C] be proud? _ _ _ _ _
_ Cuz I [F] am the _ one
that's waited [Bbm] this long.
And I [Dm] am the one
that might get [Bb] it wrong.
_ And I'll be [F] the one that will [Am] love you [A] the way I'm [D] supposed _ [Gm] to. Girl, [Bb] _ oh.
_ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] But will you still love me when _ nobody [Db] wants me [C] _ _ _ around?
When I _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
[Dm] turn 81 and forget things, will [Db] you still [C] be proud?
_ Oh, _ _ _ _ _ proud [F] of me and [Am] my short [A] list of accomplishments.
_ [D] _ [Gb] _ _
[Gm] Me and _ [Bb] my lack of [C] new _ news.
_ _ [F] Me and [Am] my selfishness.
[A] Oh, me and my [D] self-wish.
[Gm] You nothing [Bb] but a happy [C] new version of you. _ [Dm] Because I,
_ [Db] _ _ oh [F] I, I,
_ [B] I _ [Bb] _
[F] want _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[Db] you to love me [F] the way you love [B] your family.
[Bb] The way you love to show [C] me what it's _ like
_ _ to _ be [F] _
happy. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [A] _ [C] _ [Dm] _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ [Am] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [E] _
[Eb] _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ because
The best part of me is
knowing that I will not let you down. _ _ _
