Welcome to the one, the only - Garbage!"


VERSE 1:
NC                     G#m   
I'm only happy when it rains,
F#                       E           
I'm only happy when it's complicated.
C#m                           E            
And though I know you can't appreciate it,
F#                     G#m    
I'm only happy when it rains. 
F#                          E          
You know I love it when the news is bad,
G#m                         F#          
And why it feels so good to feel so sad. 
                       Bm (accent)
I'm only happy when it rains.

 
CHORUS 1:
C#m       G#m           
Pour your misery down, 
A         B              F#
Pour your misery down on me.
C#m       G#m           
Pour your misery down, 
A         B              F# (accent)
Pour your misery down on me.

I feel good when things are going wrong.
C#m                  E           
I only listen to the sad, sad songs,
F#                     G#m (accent)     
I'm only happy when it rains.

My only comfort is the night gone black.
C#m                   E             
I didn't accidentally tell you that,
F#                     G#m    
I'm only happy when it rains.
F#                     E          C#m 
You'll get the message by the time I'm through,
                      E          
When I complain about me and you,
F#                       Bm (accent)
I'm only happy when it rains.


CHORUS 3: 
C#m       G#m,     
Pour your misery down, (Pour your misery down)
A         B      
Pour your misery down on me. (Pour your misery down)

Pour your misery down, (Pour your misery down)

As long as you don't care.

You wanna hear about my new obsession?

I'm riding high upon a deep depression,
F#                     G#m (accent)             E
I'm only happy when it (rains). (Pour your misery down on me)

Notes.
1. "Garbage stopped by the 987FM Penthouse at the 'Historic Hollywood Tower' for a 
ridiculously intimate private performance. ...Shirley was genuinely happy to be 
there, playing in front of die hard fans in such a beautiful setting. The band 
went right from the new stuff into the hits, playing 'Vow', 'I Think I'm 
Paranoid', and 'I'm Only Happy When It Rains', back to back to back..."
