Kevin Devine - Ive Never Been Happier Than I Was In That Picture Chords

[Verse]
Bbm       Dm
Desert in August
Gm                  Bb
Easel and a bowl of oranges
Gm                        F
Head cocked in your ivory bralette
C7
I felt alive
 
 
[Verse]
Bbm       Dm
Endless & bottomless
Gm                Bb
Everything I ever wanted
      Gm                          F
Could almost touch it through the turbulence
C7
Hand in the hive
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm        Am
War correspondence
G          G7
Strawberry scripture
     Bb           F
I’ve never been happier
       C7          G7
Than I was in that picture
 
 
[Verse]
Bbm          Dm
Heat wave in Brooklyn
Gm                             Bb
Shoeless, waltzing through the fountain
Gm                      F
Kissing for the camera, melting
C7
Stuck side to side
 
 
[Verse]
Bbm           Dm
Floored by my fortune
Gm                      Bb
I had finally found the person
  Gm                       F
I never cared what we were doing
      C7
I was full, I was fine
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm     Am
My Alexandra
G                G7
Your lion’s been injured
     Bb           F
I’ve never been happier
       C7
Than I was
 
 
[Bridge]
Fmaj7
Carousel memory cruelly defined
Fmaj7
Coconut, sandalwood, swimming at night
G7           Bb
Curls & your flower dress
G7       Bb
Smiled & cried
 G7       Bb
“I got my birthday wish:
G          Bb
You, every time.”
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm         Am
One way to freedom:
G            G7
Thank and forgive her
          Bb         F
Cuz you’d never been happier
         C7           F
Than you were in that picture
   Gm             Am
It happened, it’s over
  G          G7
I love ya, I miss ya
         Bb       F              C7          G7
And I’ll never be happier than I was in that picture
         Bb       F              C7
And I’ll never be happier than I was
