Almost Happy

 E              Db5       B5
If I could look beyond your face.
     E               Db5    B5
And photograph your hidden place
    E                Db5     B5       A
When I found you're smiling in the picture


     E            Db5      B5
And I don't know what you want
       E
Cause you don't know
    Db5        B5       A
So what's the point of asking [MOVIE SAMPLE]


            E
And you're almost happy
 Db5
Almost content
       A
But your head hurts


 E            Db5     B5
Far too many ways to go
    E
To learn so much
     Db5      B5
But we don't know
 E
Where to look
    Db5        B5       A
Or when we should stop looking


     E              Db5      B5
And I can love the whole of you
     E          Db5      B5
The poetry I stole from you
     A
And hide inside my stomach


            E
And you're almost happy
 Db5
Almost content
       A
But your head hurts


      B5          A5
It's easy to get lost in you
     B5            A5
And fall alseep inside of you
 B5          F#
I want to return to you
   A5
A reason to be here
   A5                  E
A reason to be here


     E            Db5      B5
And I don't know what you want
       E
Cause you don't know
    Db5        B5       A
So what's the point of asking


            E
And you're almost happy
 Db5
Almost content
       A
But your head hurts


            E
And you're almost happy
 Db5
Almost content
       A
But your head hurts

you'll need to listen to the song to get the timing right.. it's a little wierd in the end.

the chords are fairly standard:

E 022100
A x02220
B x24442
#cm x46654
#F 244322

it also sounds rather cool if you play the chords A, B, #cm and #F with the bottom strings (that'd be the B and high E string) open

A x02200 (or a neat alternative: x07600)
B x24400
#cm x46650 (or x46600)
#F 244300

as for the picking pattern, this is what is played near the end:

e------0-----------
b------------------
g-1^2------1-2-1---
D----2----------2--
A------------------
E------------------

again, listen to the song to get the timing just right.. you'll need a second guitar for the picking (duh!).

if someone has any better suggestion (or corrections) post 'em right away.

An addition of Joyce van Telgen, she thinks the picking pattern is:

e------------0-----0---------|

G-----1h2p1-----2-----2--1---|
D--2-------------------------|
A----------------------------|
E----------------------------|
