Intro

[D] [A/C#] [Bm7] [A] [G]

Verse 1

[D] [A/C#]Ariella, [Bm7]seven [A]thirty [G]I don't want to get up yet
[D] Listen[A/C#] to the [Bm7]morning [A]music [G]cursing the alarm you set
As you [D]know I've never[A/C#] been a [C]praying [G]man
I don't [Bb]need a [F]God to make me [G]feel alright
But if [D]you wonder [A/C#]why I never [C]wrote you a [G]song
it's [Bb]because [C]happiness writes [D]white

Chorus

[D] I tried to [A/C#]put it into [Bm7]words, but the [A]words just sound like [D]mistakes
I tried to [A/C#]find a set of [Bm7]chords, but you know how [A]long that takes me
[D] I can't [A/C#]trust my [Bm7]fingers, I can't [A]trust my tongue
[D] The work is[A/C#] too important and [Bm7]we're no longer [A]young after all
When I [D]consider what you [A/C#]put up with I'm [Bm7]amazed you still have [A]skin
When I [D]consider what you [A/C#]mean to [Bm7]me... it's [A]everything
[D] [A/C#] It's [Bm7]everything [A]

Verse 2

[D] [A/C#]Ariella, [Bm7]eleven [A]thirty [G]I don't want to go to sleep
[D] turn the [A/C#]TV [Bm7]off [A]already [G]curse the hours we have to keep
as you [D]know I've never [A/C#]been a [C]confident [G]man
I've been [Bb]in the [F]tall grass [G]all my life
Until [D]you came [A/C#]along now there's [C]one less thing [G]wrong
even [Bb]though [C]happiness writes [D]white
