Biography:
Future Islands is a new wave band based in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The band is composed of Gerrit Welmers (keyboards and programming), William Cashion (bass, acoustic and electric guitars), Samuel T. Herring (lyrics and vocals) and Michael Lowry (percussion, since 2020). Future Islands' music style has been tagged as synthpop, but the band has routinely rejected that classification, considering themselves as post-wave,by combining the romanticism of new wave with the power and drive of post-punk.

Happiness of Being Twice
by The Future Islands
Tune down a full-step (DGCFAD)
As an alternative, you can use standard tuning and use D#/A#/F instead of F/C/G, but I think the
dropped tuning is a closer approximation to the actual song and gets that bassy feeling better.
INTRO
F C G x2
F C G F
you walk to the park as the setting sun and sit as a stone til the day is done
C G F
you build us a house from sticks and shrubs and huddle inside til i come home
C G F
there's a saying where i come from no mistake is truly wrong
C G C
as the hole in my heart is where you fit your casual limbs inside my ribs
CHORUS
G C
that's what we call life
F C
for the first time i can feel tonight
G C F C
that's how we fall light
G C
that's why we share life
F C
for the happiness of being twice
G C F
half of a flawed kite
C
come and catch me
G F
i'm razor-like in half-sleep
C
try and find me
G F
i'm deep in the shallows
C
you can save me from the throes
G F
of winter nights in summer clothes
C
you can have my life, my rose
G F C
for feathers and hallways
G F C
and you teach me still
G F C
and you hold me dear
G F C
you unleash my will
G C
and you always find me here
CHORUS
