Keep You Happy Chords, Tift Merritt



These are the chords for the wonderful song Keep You Happy from Tift Merritt's 2008 Another Country.

These were transcribed by Adam Schneider at http://adamschneider.net/music/

I love this melancholic song.


Keep You Happy


capo 5
 G    G[intro]
 G            Bm          C                    Bm
  The sky is turning and longing for something far away
G              Bm             C           Bm
  The moon's a tear drop, see slowly as he falls away
C              Bm           C            Bm
  Miles running down a face, everything's bound to change
C              Bm
  It's bound to change
 Em             G           Em          G
  Day breaks of tenderness, so hold me here like this
             Am7            C              G       G
So still and quiet, as if it might keep you happy, oh oh oh
         C      C
Keep you happy, oh oh oh
         G      G
Keep you happy, oh oh oh
         C     Csus9
Keep you happy

 A feeling has me and tells me it will never stay
Your heartbeats miles now, I feel them as they run away
Close gets so far away, close gets so far
 Day breaks of loneliness
I'd weather all of this
If I could find a place where I'd
Keep you happy, oh oh oh
Keep you happy, oh oh oh
Keep you happy, oh oh oh
Keep you happy
 Bm        Em                 C                  Bm
  Why do we pretend there is something to hold onto
Em           C                    Bm         Am7
  See how my world fell in, I was trying to hold you
      Bm         Am7
I was trying to hold you

 Night is a gypsy, he tells me he will never stay
Miles are like heartbeats, I know them as they fly away
See how they fly away, see as I fly
 Day breaks of restlessness, I'm filled with all of this
But deep inside, what will I find to keep me happy, oh oh oh
Keep me happy, oh oh oh
Keep me happy, oh oh oh
Keep me happy, oh oh oh
