Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
-Thought it was an utter shame that I couldn't find any chords (or tabs!) for this song; it's totally beautiful and one of the best songs on Ugly Beautiful :/ So this is my acoustic interpretation of the chord-ing... if that's a word...
GC I hold you closely, DC You push me away. GC I want forever, DC You just want today.
GC Give me your fingers, DC Wash out your mouth. GC Bite off my tongue DC On this bloody couch.
GC But I don't blame you. DC You're always right. GC I'm like a bad day DC On your good, good night.
(Here's the instrumental. If acoustic-ing it up on guitar, it's pretty much the same as it's always been. I suggest singing the last four lines again in your head whilst playing the G C D C G C D C )
GC I hear the tick of a bomb-ah, DC All you hair in a fuse. GC You asked me for a light DC To blow away these blues.
GC Run me a bath, DC Then plug me in. GC I'm like a T.V. DC Learning to swim.
GC But I don't blame you. DC You're always right. GC I'm like a bad day DC On your good, good night.
(Another instrumental, with a few 'Mm-mh's over the top. This one goes G C G C G C G C D C )
(This bit is spoken) I hold you closely. You push me away. I want forever, You just want today.
GC Give me your fingers, DC Wash out your mouth. GC Bite off my tongue DC On this bloody couch.
GC But I don't blame you. DC You're always right. GC I'm like a bad day DC On your good, good night.
GC But I don't blame you. DC You're always right. GC I'm like a bad day DCG On your good, good, good, good night.
