Jason Collett is a Canadian singer-songwriter. A member of Broken Social Scene, he also tours and records on his own.
The best songs don’t just tell a story set to music – they capture a moment, encapsulate a feeling and draw in the listener, in a way that’s at once singularly personal and completely universal.

[verse]
C
Last night I dreamt I died
Dm F
as I slept on the floor
C
Head between the speakers where
Dm F
tears fall in stereo
C
It's cold you said as you climbed out of bed
Dm F
will this winter ever go
C
You took your hands
Dm F
and warmed them in my own
[chorus]
C
So rave on you sad songs
Dm F
sad songs rave on
C
I'm just feeling the temperature
Dm F
happiness is for amateurs
C Dm F
[verse]
C
Up in the afternoon grey
Dm
into the evenings fade to black
F
we crash into the morn
C
Stumbling home like skipping stones
Dm F
precious to the bone
C
By and by if you should see the light
Dm F
well steady as she goes
C Dm F
Every horizon has some glow
[chorus]
C
So rave on you sad songs
Dm F
sad songs rave on
C
I'm just running a temperature
Dm F
happiness is for amateurs
[bridge]
Am
There's things we all need
Em F C
to believe to carry on
Am
But I know you're not being
Em
honest with me
F G
when you tell me I'm wrong
[verse]
C
Well you can make up my mind some other time
Dm F
tonight I'll take what's in store
C
So pour the wine and don't fall behind
Dm F
'til they drag us out the door
[chorus]
C
and rave on you sad songs
Dm F
sad songs rave on
C
I'm just feeling the temperature
Dm F
happiness is for amateurs
C
Yeah, rave on you sad songs
Dm F
sad songs rave on
C
I'm just running a temperature
Dm F
happiness is for amateurs
