This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Title: So Beautiful

Album: A mark, a mission, a brand, a scar

Transcribed by: Andrew Biles

Eb tuning (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, eb)

In the intro, the second guitar comes in second time round and then they play

straight into the verse. I couldn't work out if the second guitar was playing

something different in the chorus so I left it and have both playing the same chords.

Lyrics:

I heard that you were home again, but you don't look like your back to me

With your focuses changing your gaze is transfixed on a point that I can't often see

You've got your new ties, i've got my old knots, you've got your inside lines

But your never happy with what you've got

Careful now,

you're so beautiful

when you've convinced yourself

that no one else is quite as beautiful

I heard that you were living well, but you don't look like your living to me

though the sparkle is gone, the smile is in place so that everyone watching can see

You've got them all convinced, but I know it so well

that you can list your friends, but you can't count on them

Hold it now

you've got everyone convinced that your alright

when no one else is quite as vulnerable

as soon as you got it you want something else

it's not the sale that you love, its the sell

it's not the price that's going to cost you

it's just the weight that's going to bring you

down, down, down, down

it's going to bring you down, down, down, down, down

hold it now

you've got everyone convinced that your alright

when no one else is quite as vulnerable

careful now

your so beautiful, when you've convinced yourself

no one else is quite as beautiful

as soon as you got it you want something else

it's not the sale that you love, its the sell

it's not the price that's going to cost you

it's just the weight that's going to bring you

down, down, down, down

it's going to bring you down, down, down, down, down

as soon as you got it you want something else

it's not the sale that you love, its the sell

it's not the price that's going to cost you

it's just the weight that's going to bring you

down
