I know happiness writes white
I know happiness writes white
I know happiness writes white

I know happinesss writes white
Notes:
A/C# represents an A major chord with a C# in the bass/
So the bass line goes D , C# , B , A , G for the majority of the songt.
Also the song makes heavy use of a repeated A
(you can hear it on the up beats during the intro).
