THE UNTITLED SONG (Emily Saliers)
---------------------------------
Notes on some chords:
/: x10033 (9): Alternate between x02210 and x02200
Some F s might be F(9) s. Some Em s might be Em7 s. Cmaj7: x32003
IN THE INTRO: keep your pinky on the third fret of the high E string during
the first part of the first 3 measures, then let go for the latter part of
those measures. In the fourth measure, hammer-on from 0 to 2 on the D string
toward the end of the measure. In the 5th and 6th measures, go from 1 to 0
(but not a pull-off) on the E string in the latter part of the measure.
[Actually in E; capo 4.]

(9) Am(9)/G
I tried my best to get over you
Kept my distance so I wouldn t have to show
(9) Am(9)/G
That the things which I kept hidden by my casual smile
Were the things that I needed you to know
/ (9) (9)
You could have seen the acting on the stage
You might have read the writing on the page

You could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two
But you never knew it was I was falling for
/ -
you [intro chords]
Sometimes I still think that I could get to you
Then I laugh, think I could swim the seven seas
It seems when I am set to fly, there s a storm up in the sky
When I m set to sail, there isn t any breeze
You could have seen the acting on the stage
You might have read the writing on the page
You could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two
But you never knew that it was I was falling for you
[Guitar solo; same chords as a verse]
It s been some time now when I saw you in a photograph
Looking just the way you did so long ago
And I could almost see you throw your head back and start to laugh
In that gentle way you used to let me know
(?)
Things were okay, and a hurting song is just a cliche
And what s the use if they only always fade away
-
Just like the sun, just like everyone but
- .
you.
