Pretty things by Adam Friedman
Version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjQmm2aOGY8
Capo: 3
Strumming pattern: (This just an example, do whatever you like most)
- For the verse: Each chord indicates a downstrum. I normally play UD UDUD after all of the downstrums on the
last chord of the sentence. So the total strumming pattern would be: DD DD DD UD UDUD.
- For the chorus: D D D D D D DUD (for example)
- For the bridge: Same as chorus
If you don't like the double chords on the verses, just play the second one.
[Verse]
C C G G Am Am
You're pretty Like the moon
C C G G Am Am
no one can get to you
F F C C G G
that's lonely but its true.
C C G G Am Am
youre pretty like the moon.
C C G G Am Am
folk songs and cigarettes.
C C G G Am Am
you're such a perfect mess.
F F C C G G
you seem so unimpressed.
C C G G Am Am
you smile when you're depressed.
[Chorus]
F
but darling let me see the scars youre hiding underneath your makeup.
Am
show me what it is that youre afraid of.
G C
why you hide behind your pretty things
F Am
and dont you know that even roses die and nothing's really is made to last forever even beauty fades
G C
you cant always rely on pretty things
[Verse]
C C G G Am Am
red wine and vanity
C C G G Am Am
your fashion fantasies
F F C C G G
that smile can't hide your tears
C C G G Am Am
no that boy cant hide your fears
C C G G Am Am
its better when it hurts
C C G G Am Am
it shows you what its worth
F F C C G G
so cue the mascarade
C C G G Am Am
because inside you're still afraid
[Chorus]
F
but darling let me see the scars youre hiding underneath your makeup.
Am
show me what it is that youre afraid of.
G C
why you hide behind your pretty things
F Am
and dont you know that even roses die and nothing's really is made to last forever even beauty fades
G C
you cant always rely on pretty things
[Bridge]
F
what goes up
C
must come down
G
you fly too high
C
oh you're gonna hit the ground
F Am
too many words, they dont explain
G C
so we hide behind the pretty things
F Am
behind the laughter and behind the smiles
G C
I've got my scars that i'm hiding too
F
oh darling
Am
show me what you're hiding
G C
and i'll show you what im hiding, I hide behind pretty things
