C#m                              B
All the things we never know we need
               A                B
Looks like we get them in the end
  C#m                              B
Measure time in leisure time and greed
            A                  E
And by the time we get to spend
           C#m
A floating bed
A head of stone
         B
A home plugged into every phone
        A
Kimono coral floral print
           B
Exclusive tint and cut reclusive
       C#m
No it doesn´t come for free
               B
But it´s the price
                    A E
We pay for happiness

F#m                  D
No don´t talk about more
              C#m     A
to life than this
F#m
Dream a world maybe
 D         C#m A
no one owns
F#m
No don´t think about
D                C#m  A
all the life we miss
F#m                  G#m
Swallow doubt as the hunger grows
F#m                     E
Make believe it´s like no one knows
F#m             G#m
Even if we turn more to most
       A                 D      C#m
We'll never satisfy the hungry ghost

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

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

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

Swallow doubt as the hunger grows
Make believe its like no one knows
Even if we turn more to most
We'll never satisfy the hungry ghost
And all of this
We know we never need

Well it's the price
We pay for happiness
