Biography:
American singer-songwriter Melissa Ferrick (born September 21, 1970) emerged in 1991 as part of a group of new female alternative singer/songwriters, much in the vein of Liz Phair. Ferrick began singing in coffeehouses after dropping out of college, eventually winding up in Boston. Her major breakthrough arrived one night when she replaced Morrissey's opening act less than an hour before showtime. Ferrick's performance impressed Morrissey and he invited her to open for him during the rest of the tour.

Hey guys!
Melissa uses a strumming pattern that’s not very easy for novice guitarplayers.
When she plays a chord, she first strikes the first 3 strings (EAD) and then the last 3 (GBe).
Plus she does that in a different order.
!!I recommend you to listen to the song very carefully to find out the rithm and
the way she does it!!
Play the chords in barré, so you can damp the strings like ferrick does it in her song.
Try to variate in the chords, like for example lifting your middlefinger when you
play the Dm in the chorus!
Wew, this is my first tab, so if there’s something wrong, inform me or correct it ;)
Have fun with it!!

Dm C
If I could have just a moment of you

Would I be wanting more?

Dm C Am
I would pray to be the rain that runs over and in your skin
Dm
With no consequence
Dm C Am
To be the liquid in your glass that falls around your lips and mouth
Dm
Swallow me
Dm C
If I could have just a breath of you
Am
Would you, could you infect me?
Dm C
If I could have just a view of you
Am
Would you leave your door ajar?
Dm C
If I could have just a part of you
Am
Let me drink of your tides
