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 thing 


[Refrão]
Dm           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 

verse 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 measures 


[Refrão]
Dm           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 

Interlude: 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 looking
