Verse 1:
                       Am     G
I'm only happy when it rains
                         F            D
I'm only happy when it's complicated
                              F            G
And though I know you can't appreciate it
                       Am     G
I'm only happy when it rains
                            F            D
You know I love it when the news is bad
                        F             G
Why it feels so good to feel so sad
                       C
I'm only happy when it rains

Chorus:

D             Am 
    Pour your misery down
Bb            C              D 
    Pour your misery down on me
              Am 
    Pour your misery down
Bb            C              G
    Pour your misery down on me


Verse 2:
I'm only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are going wrong
I only listen to the sad, sad songs
I'm only happy when it rains

Chorus (Instr):   D  Am  Bb  C (2x)

Verse 3:

I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn't accidentally tell you that
I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through
When I complain about me and you
I'm only happy when it rains
 Chorus:

D             Am 
    Pour your misery down
Bb            C              D 
    Pour your misery down on me
D             Am 
    Pour your misery down
Bb            C              D 
    Pour your misery down on me
D             Am 
    Pour your misery down
Bb            C              D 
    Pour your misery down on me
D             Am 
    Pour your misery down

Bb
You can keep me company
   C                 G
As long as you don't care


Verse 4:

I'm only happy when it rains
You wanna hear about my new obsession?
I'm riding high upon a deep depression
I'm only happy when it rains


          F              D
Pour some misery down on me
                       Am  
I'm only happy when it rains

    One more part at the end where the little guitar harmony is. I 
don't really know how to play it because it's actually two or three 
guitars, so I'll leave it to you to figure something out.
