played once without vocals, then:
VerseABmF#m
Happiness hit her like a train on a track...
ABmF#m
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back...
A
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
ABmF#m
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
A
With every bubble she sank with her drink
ABmF#m
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
From here I would use open chords or preferably barre chords
A (320033 or 320003) or (355433 barre chord)
Bm (x02210) or (577555 barre chord)
F#m (022000)

Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that

Can you hear the horses?
