Underneath chords by Sam Tsui

Chords with lyrics

Here are the chords to "Underneath" by Sam Tsui.
It is a bonus track from the Kickstarter exclusive CD of 'Make It Up'.
If you can't or don't feel like playing the seventh chords, then
feel free to replace them with the regular ones, but I like the seventh
chords because they add tone colour and character - can't find to right word to explain
what I mean haha. My favourite part of this song is the bridge - I love the change
of chord pattern as well as the lyrics :)
It is a beautiful song, with a beautiful message. I really love it :)


CAPO ON FRET 3


INTRO:

D MajorD  E minor 7Em7  Bm7Bm7  G+G
         Hmmmmmmmmmm

VERSE 1:

D MajorD
 Somewhere buried deep below
E minor 7Em7
 the part of you you wanna show
Bm7Bm7          G+G
 is someone nobody sees.
D MajorD
 You dig a hole to hide your heart
E minor 7Em7
 'till every piece of who you are.
Bm7Bm7              G+G
 Is all but lost beneath your feet.


PRECHORUS:

D MajorD
 But I know better
E minor 7Em7
 And I can't let your
 Bm7Bm7              G+G
 little room be where you always stay.
D MajorD
 I know they've got you so afraid,
E minor 7Em7
 You put your faith in masks you made.
     Bm7Bm7              G+G
 Can you trust enough to peel them all away?

CHORUS:

    D MajorD       E minor 7Em7       Bm7Bm7
 Underneath, all the secrets that you keep,
     G+G         D MajorD
 and the smile I don't believe
     E minor 7Em7     Bm7Bm7    G+G
 is the you I wanna see, underneath.
    D MajorD       E minor 7Em7      Bm7Bm7
 Underneath, all the faces that you wear,
     G+G        D MajorD
 I know someone's hiding there,
       E minor 7Em7     Bm7Bm7     G+G      D MajorD
 'Cause the you I wanna see, is underneath, underneath.


INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:

D MajorD  G+G


VERSE 2:

D MajorD
 Everyday the same routine
E minor 7Em7
 of hiding what you really mean
Bm7Bm7              G+G
 behind the things they wanna hear.
D MajorD
 You keep the words you wish you'd said
E minor 7Em7
 inside a box beneath your bed
Bm7Bm7                 G+G
 like maybe that'll make them disappear.


PRECHORUS:

D MajorD
 But you know better
E minor 7Em7
 And you can't let your
 Bm7Bm7               G+G
 little room be where you always stay.
D MajorD
 'Cause everything you're scared to show,
E minor 7Em7
 is beautiful,
       Bm7Bm7                G+G
 But you'll never know if you keep it locked away.


CHORUS:

    D MajorD       E minor 7Em7       Bm7Bm7
 Underneath, all the secrets that you keep,
     G+G         D MajorD
 and the smile I don't believe
     E minor 7Em7     Bm7Bm7    G+G
 is the you I wanna see, underneath.
    D MajorD       E minor 7Em7      Bm7Bm7
 Underneath, all the faces that you wear,
     G+G        D MajorD
 I know someone's hiding there,
       E minor 7Em7     Bm7Bm7     G+G      C majorC
 'Cause the you I wanna see, is underneath, underneath.


BRIDGE:

C majorC              D MajorD

C majorC                D MajorD
 You know that's not a life at all ohhhhh
      B minorBm       A augmentedA
 So you're scared of your scars,
