Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

During the verse you only play the 6th and 5th string on the guitar. The C is only

the 5th and 4th.

During the other parts of the song, it is the full chords.

Got a brand new roof above my head

All the empty boxes thrown away

I rearranged the place a hundred times today

But the ordering of objects couldn't hide whats missing

All these things, should make me happy

Make me happy to be home again

All these things, should make me happy

Make me happy to be alone again

Got myself a bottle of red wine

Got a night with nothing else to do

I think I might know what I really want

But is a brighter discontent the best that I can hope to find

Got a big black television set

Now I can watch just what I want

But I'm here staring up at pictures on the wall

Where are you, you're still stuck inside 'em all

All these things, should make me happy

Make me happy to be home again

All these days, should make me happy

Make me happy to be alone again

But love is not these belongings and surroundings

Though theres meaning in the memories they hold

 A breaking heart in an empty apartment

Was the loudest sound I ever heard

Got a desk, I'll write myself a note

Pretending that it came from you

On hotel stationary, from the time we first met

Whatever I can do, 'cause I won't throw my hands up yet

All these things, should make me happy

Make me happy to be home again

All these things, should make me happy

Make me happy to be alone again

But love is not these belongings that surround you

Though theres meaning in the memories they hold

 A breaking heart in an empty apartment

Was the loudest sound I ever heard

, , , x2

But I'll be fine if I don't look around me that

much for whats gone

 If only I could wait here just a little while

 and let time pass in my room
