[Verse 1]
B                 E
 Honey, when I'm above the trees
B           E
 I see this for what it is
B            C#m7                      B
 But now I'm right down in it, all the years I've given
        E                   B
Is just shit we're dividin' up
           C#m7             B
Showed you all of my hiding spots
      E                      B
I was dancing when the music stopped
           C#m7         B              E
And in the disbelief, I can't face reinvention
  B                     E   B  E
I haven't met the new me yet
 
 
[Chorus]
B                       E
 There'll be happiness after you
B                          C#m7
 But there was happiness because of you
B                     C#m7
 Both of these things can be true
         B        E
There is happiness
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
             B         C#m7
Past the blood and bruise
                    B  E
Past the curses and cries
                         B       C#m7
Beyond the terror in the nightfall
               B
Haunted by the look in my eyes
              E
That would've loved you for a lifetime
B                C#m7
Leave it all behind
                     B
And there is happiness
 
 
[Verse 2]
E                       B
 Tell me, when did your winning smile
C#m7        B
   Begin to look like a smirk?
E         B                        C#m7
 When did all our lessons start to look like weapons
        B             E
Pointed at my deepest hurt?
  B                          C#m7
I hope she'll be a beautiful fool
    B                     E
Who takes my spot next to you
      B
No, I didn't mean that
         C#m7                    B
Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury
    E                     B   C#m7  B
You haven't met the new me yet
 
 
[Chorus]
E                      B
 There'll be happiness after me
C#m7                         B
   But there was happiness because of me
E                      B
 Both of these things, I believe
         C#m7     B
There is happiness
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
         E    B                    C#m7  B
In our history, across our great divide
                    E      B
There is a glorious sunrise
                 C#m7
Dappled with the flickers of light
         B                         E                 B
From the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind
                  C#m7  B
And there is happiness
 
 
[Bridge]
F#m    E        A          B
I can't make it go away by making you a villain
F#m    E         A                B
I guess it's the price I paid for seven years in Heaven
C#m7                 E
   And I pulled your body into mine
      B
Every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties
C#m7         E
   No one teaches you what to do
       B
When a good man hurts you
And you know you hurt him too
 
 
[Verse 3]
E                 B
 Honey, when I'm above the trees
C#m7        B
   I see it for what it is
E           B             C#m7                         B                E
But now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to lay your head
      B                     C#m7
After giving you the best I had
        B                  E
Tell me what to give after that
        B                       C#m7              B
All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness
    E                      B
You haven't met the new me yet
      C#m7                    B
And I think she'll give you that
 
 
[Chorus]
E                      B
 There'll be happiness after you
C#m7                          B
   But there was happiness because of you too
E                     B
 Both of these things can be true
         C#m7     B
There is happiness
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
         E     B                   C#m7  B
In our history, across our great divide
                    E      B
There is a glorious sunrise
                 C#m7
Dappled with the flickers of light
         B                         E                  B
From the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind
    C#m7               B
Oh, leave it all behind
E                 B
Leave it all behind
                      C#m7
And there is happiness

The C#'s in the Verse are WAY wrong!! It is still an E chord but with a weird note over it! The whole verse is just rotating over the two chords B & E. Try it with Capo 4 and play an A chord for the C# as you have it & then you'll see!:)

When I used to transpose -4, there used to be A and Am7 chords where there are now F chords in place of. To me, it doesnt sound right and the way it was before sounded more correct.
