A TIP: Transpose these chords (using the transpose tool on the left) until the key you are in corresponds to the highest note you are able to sing. Intro Dm A# Dm C TIP: In the intro, the length of the Am compared to the F and G are not equal. Basically it is 15 stroke of Am, and then one quick stroke of F, and then 15 strokes of Am, and then one quick stroke of G. verse 1 Dm I reach out when I have a confession A# I reach out in desperation Dm I reach out when no one is listening Gm A# So I go looking for the next best thingverse 2 Dm I feel them judging on me for their own pleasure A# If they really knew they’d know better Dm That I’m the one who caves under pressure Gm A# When desperate times call for desperate measuresDm F Happiness straight from the bottle Gm A# Am When real life’s too hard to swallow Dm F Happiness straight from the bottle Gm A# Am When real life’s too hard to swallowInterlude: A# Am, C/E Am TIP: For the next section, if the chord changes are too difficult for you, you can alternatively simply play an A# on the "I know..." and the "I get..." lines. Bridge A# Am A# Am F A# Am Am I know there’s got to be some peace in me F C But I can’t find it A# Am A# Am F A# I get so sick of lookingDm F Happiness straight from the bottle Gm A# Am When real life’s too hard to swallow Dm F Happiness straight from the bottle Gm A# Am When real life’s too hard to swallowDm F Happiness straight from the bottle Gm A# Am When real life’s too hard to swallow Dm F Happiness straight from the bottle Gm A# Am When real life’s too hard to swallow
