Tabbed By Simon, re-arranged by Kendra: dare2dream1@gmail.com

Note: All Chords Relative to Capo.

G Cadd9 D/F# Am Em D Cm

|-3--3-----0----0--0--2--3-|

|-3--3-----3----1--0--3--4-|

|-0--0-----2----2--0--2--5-|

|-0--2-----0----2--2--0--5-|

|-2--3-----0----0--2--x--3-|

|-3--0-----2----x--0--x--3-|

Cm is a barre chord.

I know the intro and verses up to the Em. it goes something like this:

G Cadd9 G D/F# ((the Em after: ))

e|-----------------------------------------------------|

B|-----------------------------------------5---------5-|

G|-----5-----5-------------7-------------5---5---------|

D|---------7-------5-----5-------------6-------6---6---|

A|-7-7---8-----7-7---5-5-------------6-----------6-----|

E|-8-----------8-----7---------------------------------|

and then it does something i can't quite put my finger on. look for updates.

I wish that I was beautiful for you

A prayer left un-prayed

Before the morning sky fades up to blue

And I wish that I was beautiful for you

G C G D/F#

I wish that somehow I could find a pill

G C G

For a quick fix modern tonic that would change me with one

D/F# Em

swallow I would kill

G

Watch folks line up to pay

C

Stare at me all day

C G Am G D C Am

But I'd turn them all away if that be thy will

Cm

One tiny little innocuous pill

[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]

[G] [C] [G]

D/F# Am D Am

But a wish is just a pin in a swimming pool of needles

If for one night you need the room I wish to be your tomb

You can lie in me

As glossy as a mirror

They're difficult on the eye it's true

And I wish that I was beautiful for you

I dreamed that we were traveling on a bus

G C D/F#

Speeding along an un-named plain towards somewhere and nowhere there

Em

was us

G

Our hands lay useless in our laps

C

Like beetles on their backs

G C G D/F#

We came to a stretch of road where a fire

G C G D/F#

Had burned the edges all along it looked as though the highway wore

Em

Eyeliner

G

You kissed me by surprise

C

When I opened my eyes

C G Am G D C

You'd turned into some old guy

Am

I screamed

Cm G

But don't forget of all these things I've only dreamed

[Am] [D] [Am] [Am] [Em] [A]

G C

If for one night you need the room

D/F# G

I can be your tomb

D/F#

You can lie in me

[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
