Biography:
Catherine Tift Merritt (born January 8, 1975, in Houston, Texas, but moved to Raleigh, North Carolina soon after) is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter, musician. She is currently based in New York.
Merritt's father taught her guitar chords and Percy Sledge songs. She began her professional career in 1998 with her band The Carbines playing small clubs. In her early twenties, though Tift had gigged by herself, she decided she was not very good at music and better suited for writing short stories.

Tift Merritt - Something To Me
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: G
Oh, the song I love the best's, the one my father taught to me
Bm
The kindness of a stranger is dust from an unseen wing
C G
But an old friend at my table is by far the finest thing
Am D
This tired mile could give to me
G
Oh, the colours of the man I love are deepest blue and green
Bm
And it isn't very often that I say just what I mean
C G
'Cause the feeling seems to scatter and these words fall in between
Am D
For what I miss I'll just tell you this
CHORUS:
C
It's something to me
G D
It's something to me__
Em G C
I don't know what it comes to and it's not so much to see
G D
But you take tomorrow so long as you know
C
It's something to me
G
It's something to me
Gentle is the road within me and it's gently I depart
Bm
'Cause these well-worn threads of daylight will sometimes come apart
C G
Giving way to all the shadows where no one can hear your heart
Am D
So, down in the dark, if that's where you are
CHORUS:
C
It's something to me
G D
It's something to me__
Em G C
I don't know what it comes to and it's not so much to see
G D
But you take tomorrow so long as you know
C
It's something to me
G
It's something to me
INSTRUMENTAL: G Bm C G Am D
G
Now the tender hands of morning have given up a new sunrise
Bm
And we all get up together in our ordinary lives
C G
Going one step for another, giving up has crossed my mind
Am D
I'll take a long day, come 'round the right way
CHORUS:
C
It's something to me
G D
It's something to me__
Em G C
I don't know what it comes to and it's not so much to see
G D
But you take tomorrow so long as you know
C
It's something to me
G
It's something to me
D
You take tomorrow so long as you know
C
It's something to me
G
It's something to me
