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

Garbage - Only Happy When It Rains (Live)
Garbage from Germany in April 1996 performing "Only Happy When It Rains" on the "Rockpalast" TV show, which has featured almost ever major rock musical act in the world since 1974. Shirley Manson - lead vocal Steve Marker - guitar Duke Erikson - guitar Butch Vig - drums Daniel Shulman - bass Garbage was formed in Madison, Wisconsin in 1994 by producers and longtime friends Marker, Erikson and Vig. All three had enjoyed success as producers of albums during the new "grunge" movement, especially Vig who had helmed Nirvana's "Nevermind" and the Smashing Pumpkins "Siamese Dream". They recruited Edinburgh, Scotland native Manson, of the band Angelfish and previously Goodbye Mr Mackenzie, to be the lead singer. The band is best known for the hits "Stupid Girl", "#1 Crush", and "I'm Only Happy When It Rains". Manson's sultry voice and seductive lyrics backed by pulsing rock, pop, techno and trip hop beats made the band one of the most mainstream and commercially successful bands born from the alternative rock movement of the early to mid 90's. Their worldwide popularity following the release of their second album, "Version 2.0", in 1998 led them to be tapped to perform the title theme to the 1999 James Bond film "The World Is Not Enough". They have headlined several world tours and also opened for Smashing Pumpkins, No Doubt and U2. The band is currently on hiatus after releasing their last album of new material in 2005 and a greatest hits album in 2007. Manson is scheduled to appear as a regular cast member on the FOX TV show "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" when it returns for it's second season in September 2008.
