I Was That I Was Beautiful For You (Darren Hanlon)
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.

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

If for one night you need the room

I can be your tomb

You can lie in me
