Something Happening

Key of E
Very fast strumming
E-D-A-E is general pattern
Main guitar actually plays E-B drone chords for these using an 'A2' pattern, so :
E is E5 at 7th
D is D6/9 at 5th
A is A2
Gis G6 at 10th
Other guitar can play regular E-D-A open chords, and also mix them with Sus4 versions in a measure, like :
E-ESus4-E-E

Intro :
- Finger pick E2/D2/A2 open chords, or pick
- Play 1 bar of E-D-A-E drone sequence

E
Into the darkness, out of the light
D
There's something strange here, it doesn't feel right
A-----------------------------------------E
Oooh, there's something beautiful happening.

You might be thinking, it's all lost for you
Got a chance now, to make something new.
Oooh, there's something beautiful happening.

Interlude:
GDEE GDEE AAAA[high fret] DDDD EEEE

All around me, disease and despair
But can't you hear it, gasping for air
Oooh, there's something beautiful happening.

The Beast

Key of G

Verse 1

-----Em-------------C
The Beast said to me
----------Em---------C
He said come over here boy
--Em----------------C
I got to show you something
-----------D7
That you ain't never seen

Well I went willingly
With all my curiosity
I had to see this thing
That could educate me

Chorus
G,D,C * 3
And soon I was flying down a river of pain
Or maybe it was pleasure, I was going insane
I lost all control of the thing they call brain
D,DSus
until I came....out of that dream

Verse 2

The Beast said to me
he said sorry 'bout that boy
You really shouldn't take it all
so seriously

I got something else
behind door number three
I know you're gonna love it
And I just had to see

Chorus

Solo

Verse 3

The Beast said now boy,
we've been through this before
You like to deny it
But I know you want more

I got something special
and I saved it for last
You know you can't resist it
Yeah I just couldn't pass

Chorus

Cliche

Key of ? Bb

Verse 1

Dm
Turn on the TV, so I don't have to think
C
Get up off the couch, just to make another drink
Bb
Don't know where I'm going, let's see how far I sink
A7
Pick up the pieces some other day.... then I tell myself

Chorus:

----Dm-------Bb
No guts, no glory,
-----C----------------------A
No sticking to your sad story,
-----Bb-------------C-------------G
Cuz time doesn't wait for any man
------Bb----------------------C----------------------A
No regrets, you've got to move while you still can

Verse 2
My friends they come over, zombies just like me
Sit around talking, and we ain't drinkin' tea
No thoughts about tomorrow, guess we'll just wait and see
Pick up our pieces another day... but we tell ourselves

Chorus

Verse 3
Ten years later, and nothing much has changed
Been through some hard times, and it's looking like I've aged
But I ain't quitting, and I'm gonna break out of this cage
Pick up the pieces any day now... and I tell myself

Chorus

Universe

Key of D

Verse 1
A, Em, G, D

All alone in this universe
I don't know I guess it could be worse
It doesn't matter what you do
No one's watching over you

Refrain ?
[Bm,A] * 3, F#7

Verse 2
All alone in this universe
Why be last when you could be first
When you're dead this will all be gone
And you'll be wondering why I sang this song

Refrain

Slow section [half-speed]
A,Em7,GMaj7,D2

All alone
Soon you'll say so long
I will say goodbye to you
All alone
...
...

Verse 3
All together in this universe
Maybe now we can break the curse
It's not too late, to say we care
It might be great, if we could share, yeah

Refrain

Green enough

Is my lawn green enough ?
Is my hair thick enough ?
Is my bike fast enough ?
Is my bank account fat enough ?
Is my career advancing enough ?
And then I saw your scattered young bodies adrift in an ocean of death, and the answer was, ashamedly, yes.
