intro: Cm, Bb, Ab, Bb  
CmAll the things we never know we needBb  
Looks like we gAbet them in the endBb  
Measure Cmtime in leisure time and greedBb  
And by the tAbime we get to spendBb  
A floating Cmbed
A head of stone
A home plBbugged into every phone
Kimono cAboral floral print
Exclusive tBbint and cut reclusive
No it doesCmn´t come for free
But it´s the Bbprice
We pay for happinessAb  Bb  
Brigde: Fm, Abm, Cm, Ab  
FmNo don´t talk about Abmmore
to life than thisCm  Ab  
FmDream a world maybe
no one AbmownsCm  Ab  
FmNo don´t think Abmabout
all the life we misCmsAb  
FmSwallow doubt as thAbme hunger grows
FmMake believe it´s like no Abmone knows
FmEven if we turn Abmmore to most
We'll nAbever satisfy thBbe hungry ghost
Interlude chords: Cm, Bb, Ab, Bb(x2)
Repeat chords: Cm, Bb, Ab, Bbthrough the verse
All the stuff we know we never want
Seems like we get it anyway
Safe to say it isn´t really wrong
Not when we know we only...
Throw it all away
Repeat chords: Cm, Bb, Ab, Bbthrough the verse
Yeah all of this we never know we want
it´s like we get it anyway
Safe to say it isn´t ever wrong
Better to get than to delay
A 3d screen
A cleaner fit
A bit pulled out of every hit
Addicted latest greatest piece
Design caprice and make the headline
No it doesn´t come for free
But it´s the price
We pay for happiness
Repeat the brigde chords: Fm, Abm, Cm, Abthrough the verse
No don´t talk about more
to life than this
Dream a world maybe
no one owns
No don´t think about
all the life we miss
FmSwallow doubt as the Abmhunger grows
FmMake believe it´s like no Abmone knows
FmEven if we turn mAbmore to most
We'll nAbever satisfy thBbe hungry ghost
CmAnd all of this
We know we never needBb  
Well it´s the prAbice
We pay for happinessBb
