Happiness LTD. 

Hot Hot Heat is an indie rock band from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. They formed in 1999 as a synthpunk band with Matt Marnik, who eventually left the band, on lead vocals. Steve Bays (vocals and keyboards) took over lead vocals, significantly changing the band's sound. The rest of the band is currently composed of Paul Hawley (drums), Louis Hearn (bass), and Luke Paquin (guitar). Paquin (also of The Street &amp; Babe Shadow) replaced former guitarist, Dante DeCaro (Wolf Parade/Johnny and the Moon), while Hearn recently replaced bassist Dustin Hawthorne (USA Out of Vietnam).

F                        G                        C
It's not enough to hear me say you've won
                      A                   F
You only wanted me for having fun
                              G                         C
But now I think you've gone and had your way
                          A                F
And left me with a pile of bills to pay
                  G                        C         
I can't even rewind the tape machine
                      A                     F
To listen to your drunken reasoning
                         G          C
So here it is - your final lullaby
   

So goodnight, goodnight

You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you 
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So Goodnight

I've given up on social niceties
I threw 'em out when I threw out your keys
Along with all your records I can't stand
You never even listen to any one of them
You're never gonna drag me out again
With all the people that were never ever even your friends
So here it is - your final lullaby

So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you 
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So goodnight

A little bit of rain I'd say is fair
But when it starts to thunder they all stare
This isn't goodnight, this is goodbye...

So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me 
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight.
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life

So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me 
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So goodnight

D                    Am7
Don't get mad if I'm laughing

          C                         G
Blame the caffeine for all the 5 am phone calls

D                        Am7
I haven't slept a single night in over a month

    C                                   G
And not even once did you start to make sense to me

D           
Well maybe I'm a little bit slow, or just consistently 

Am7
inconsistent

           C                                     G
She said, "Unpredictability's my responsibility, baby."




Bridge:

           Em                             Bm

just like they hung out before

    C
You didn't have to do it but you did it to say

That you didn't have to do it but you would anyway




Chorus:


   G                       D            F
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the 

            C
middle of nowhere

   G                       D            F

Verse 2:

D                             Am7
They chewed me up and then they spit me out

        C                           G
And I'm not supposed to let it bother me

    D                                              Am7
But maybe I'm a little bit weak - I let my frailty take the wheel

           C

(At this point, there is a crazy guitar solo, in which when trying on my uke, I nearly smashed it against the wall in great frustration. I will not post said solo to save poor, innocent ukuleles around the world.)

Middle Of Nowhere

He was in the habit of taking things for granted
         E                           C#m
Granted, there wasn't much for him to take
       F#m                              A                             E
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder he'd never change

     (E)                             C#m       
Tight fisted with his compliments, it didn't seem to bother him
     E                           C#m  
that talk is even cheaper told in bulk
       F#m                              A
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder
           B 
He'd never change

And so she yelled at him:
    E              
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
   (E)
You owe me an IOU
     F#m                 A
Don't think that I'll forget
    E
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
   (E)
You owe me an IOU
     F#m                 A
Don't think that I'll forget
 F#m                 A        B
I know what I should get this time

E                      C#m
She was in the habit of reapplying makeup
        E                    C#m
Makeup, eaten up by crocodile tears
       F#m                              A                              E
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change

(E)                 C#m
Overtly individual - covertly traditional
E                               C#m
She couldn't seem to make up her mind
       F#m                              A                              B
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change

And so he yelled at her:
    E
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
   (E)
You owe me an IOU
     F#m                 A
Don't think that I'll forget
    E    
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
   (E)
You owe me an IOU
     F#m                 A
Don't think that I'll forget
 F#m                 A        B
I know what I should get this time

A          F#m            E
Oh... Is it real? I don't know
          Ab           A
But, I'll act as if it is
(A)       F#m            E
What's our deal? I don't know
          Ab           A                       Am          
But, I'll act as if it is what I think that it is
                    B
If it is, then this might just work

E                        C#m                      
They were in the habit of taking things for granted
        E                               C#m
Granted, they never quite knew what they had
       F#m                              A                          B
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder they'd never change

And so they yelled out loud:
    E
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
   (E)     
You owe me an IOU
     F#m                 A
Don't think that I'll forget
    E    
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
   (E)
You owe me an IOU
     F#m              A
Don't think that I'll forget
 F#m                 A
I know what I should get
      F#m                 A        B
Yeah I know what I should get this time

You Owe Me An Iou

Dustin Hawthorne, bassist of Hot Hot Heat, has been quoted saying, &quot;&quot;I hate ('Middle of Nowhere') and I wish it was never written. I can't deny that it definitely did something good for our career, for sure. But, to me, it's adult contemporary. And it's kind of funny to me, because I grew up playing punk and here I am playing this jackass-sounding song.&quot;

              Em                     C               G  D
Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime

Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds

I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime

Darling just hold my hand, be my girl, I’ll be your man

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

2) All my mem'ries, gather round her, 

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em  
1) Life is old there, older than the trees, 
2) Dark and dusty,    painted on the sky, 

   D
1) younger than the mountains
2) misty taste of moonshine

   C			G
1) growin' like a breeze.

              G              D            Em        C

        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

    Am              C                F             C

You were staying out all night and I had enough

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.
