Miss America chords by James Blunt

Chords with lyrics

Transcribed from his very beautiful "Unplugged" version on YouTube, which may or
may not differ slightly from the album version, but we'll see!


A augmentedA little sketchy in the bridge, but A major 6A6 is the closest I could get - I play it like this:
  A major 6A6
e|--2--|
BB|--2--|
G+G|--2--|
D MajorD|--2--|
A augmentedA|--0--|
E MajorE|--x--|


== Intro ==
F# minorF#m A augmentedA E MajorE B minorBm

== Verse 1 ==
  F# minorF#m       A augmentedA      E MajorE         B minorBm
Did someone give you something to help you ease the pain?
     F# minorF#m      A augmentedA     E MajorE          B minorBm
Like the liquor in the bottle, we watched you slip away.
   F# minorF#m     A augmentedA          E MajorE     B minorBm
And I feel as if I know you through the bars of a song.
F# minorF#m    A augmentedA      E MajorE
Always surrounded but alone.

D MajorD      A augmentedA  E MajorE       F# minorF#m
 But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America.
D MajorD        A augmentedA  E MajorE       F# minorF#m
 We watched you fly, but nothing's free Miss America.
D MajorD      A augmentedA     E MajorE    F# minorF#m
 And as you fall apart, we just call it art.
D MajorD     A augmentedA    E MajorE
 Was it so hard to breathe?

    F# minorF#m      A augmentedA       E MajorE       B minorBm
Was the picture in the paper not the face you recognise?
    F# minorF#m      A augmentedA        E MajorE        B minorBm
Did the make up never make up for the pain behind your eyes?
   F# minorF#m     A augmentedA        E MajorE      B minorBm
Cos I feel as if I know when you're on my silver screen
   F# minorF#m         A augmentedA         E MajorE
But I don't know the dark places that you've been.

D MajorD      A augmentedA  E MajorE       F# minorF#m
 But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America.
D MajorD        A augmentedA  E MajorE       F# minorF#m
 We watched you fly, but nothing's free Miss America.
D MajorD      A augmentedA     E MajorE    F# minorF#m
 And as you fall apart, we just call it art.
D MajorD     A augmentedA    E MajorE
 Was it so hard to breathe?

D MajorD                  A major 6A6
 Does another voice sing in Heaven's choir tonight,
F# minorF#m              Esus4Esus4 - E MajorE
  To fill the silence left behind?
D MajorD              A major 6A6
 And I don't know what goes on in your mind
F# minorF#m                 Esus4Esus4 - E MajorE
  I'm sure it's enough to make me cry.
       D MajorD         A major 6A6 E MajorE
Someday we'll find you lived fore - ver.

D MajorD      A augmentedA  E MajorE       F# minorF#m
 But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America.
D MajorD        A augmentedA  E MajorE       F# minorF#m
 We watched you fly, but nothing's free Miss America.
D MajorD      A augmentedA     E MajorE    F# minorF#m
 And as you fall apart, we just call it art.
D MajorD     A augmentedA    E MajorE
 Was it so hard to breathe?
