capo on the 3rd fret
chords used:
G 320033 or 3300xx
Em 022000 or 02220x
F 133211
A 002220
Asus2 x02200
G/B x2000x
C x32000
the alternative chords for G and Em are if you wish pick the chords like
in the intro, otherwise simple strumming sounds better with the normal chords.
note: the Em chord should be hammered-on in a few places throughout the song,
but it's easy to figure out if you know the song (as I'm sure you do).
intro: same as the beginning of the verse.
lyrics+chords:
--------------
G Em
What's that they told you
G Em
about a book & a cover?
G Em
Don't judge so quickly,
G Em
Is it too much to remember?
F
'Cause pictures lie,
G
you know,
F
I'll show
G
it's so.
Em
Just give it one thought.
What's that they taught you?
To revere a kind of beauty?
To paint on that pretty veneer
and try to hide whatever's dirty?
Well, faces lie.
You'll see
no sympathy.
Just give it one thought.
F G Asus2
Come here and I will whisper true
G/B F
about the things I know of you,
G
and you will recognize them,
Em A
always...
F G Asus2
As near to you as breath and bone,
C F
so dear to me, and yours alone,
G
and I will love you for them,
Em A
always...
What's that they tell you
about a book & a cover?
Don't judge so quickly.
They'll tell you one thing and then another.
But see what lies
within,
under the skin.
Just give it one thought. (
