The Belly Of Your Bedroom chords by The Smith Street Band

The Belly Of Your Bedroom
The Smith Street Band

Hey guys,

Here is another one off my favorite album at the moment.  I put up the Self Control tab
also but it was before I had an account.  I saw a comment asking for more tabs so here
it goes!

This one is pretty easy once you figure out the rhythm, just a few hammer ons you should
note:  Almost every time it says D, theres a hammer on the high G (third fret on the
tiniest string)

I really hope the formatting doesnt get butchered here.

INTRO  (strum this intro, the notes I tabbed out are the ones that sound the loudest,
Wil strums the chords at the bottom of the tab [strum up AND down, especially around the D below])

VERSE 1

G              D                   Cadd9                 D
Our hero sits unsteadily on a highway rocking chair

G              D                   Cadd9                      D
Bottle of white wine, the wind it ruffles his well-cut hair

G                      D                  Cadd9           D
And her eyes they focus backwards to the people that he needs

G                               D          Cadd9                  D
They hold my instruments and my backup, and shirts with cut off sleeves


G                     D            Cadd9                D
She told me that she kissed you and then she told me more

G                   D           Cadd9                D
Our hero knows I'm angry and he knows that I'm a bore

G                    D                   Cadd9          D
I'm sad when it is raining, when the sun comes I'm a freak

G                  D                  Cadd9               D*
Our hero lives in mild temperatures and gets eight hours sleep

CHORUS
G
And I know that Im a liar

D
And I know I cant fill your desires

Em7                                       Cadd9 (walk down C, B, A, Gmaj)
With a body that's always gonna let the both of us down

G
And half smiles in the belly of your bedroom

D
And half lies that I never should have told you

Em7                                  Cadd9
My demise is only gonna let one of us down

D                               G       D       Cadd9           D
And darling I'm going


VERSE 2

G                       D             Cadd9         D
My back it aches for transport, I can hardly feel my feet
My stitches are slowly but surely falling out of me
I know I'm not exciting but I never claimed to be
And I'll live for this morning, and I will live and let you leave

 G                         D                        Em7
And I don't understand why we have to be on standby while you're overseas

Cadd9                     D
Can't you be free and still know me?

        G                                D
And our hero keeps his secrets locked up somewhere in his teeth

Em7                                         D*                          Maybe I'll break
one or two just to hear him speak


CHORUS 2

BRIDGE

  Em7               G           Cadd9
To find somewhere for us to sleep

                          Em7              G            Cadd9
And darling I'm going to work on every single inch of me

               Em7              G                 Cadd9
And darling I'm going to find somewhere for us to sleep

               Em7              G
And darling I'm going to keep on living, to keep on living

    Cadd9       D
To keep on keeping on


Final Chorus
(This is where you get your friends to start clapping the drums for you, knock on your
guitar a little bit)
