Cm is a barre chord.
I know the intro and verses up to the Em. it goes something like this:
((the after: ))
e|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------5---------5-|
G|-----5-----5-------------7-------------5---5---------|
D|---------7-------5-----5-------------6-------6---6---|
A|-7-7---8-----7-7---5-5-------------6-----------6-----|
E|-8-----------8-----7---------------------------------|
and then it does something i can't quite put my finger on. look for updates.
I wish that I was beautiful for you
I wish that I inspired tiny fireworks inside the way you do
So delicately made
A prayer left un-prayed
Before the morning sky fades up to blue
And I wish that I was beautiful for you
I wish that somehow I could find a pill
For a quick fix modern tonic that would change me with one
swallow I would kill
Watch folks line up to pay
Stare at me all day
But I'd turn them all away if that be thy will
One tiny little innocuous pill
But a wish is just a pin in a swimming pool of needles
If for one night you need the room I wish to be your tomb
You can lie in me
Is it possible I have other things you need
But to be worthy of a single page out of one of those magazines you
Read
As glossy as a mirror
But mirrors never lie
They're difficult on the eye it's true
And I wish that I was beautiful for you
I dreamed that we were traveling on a bus
Speeding along an un-named plain towards somewhere and nowhere there
was us
Our hands lay useless in our laps
Like beetles on their backs
We came to a stretch of road where a fire
Had burned the edges all along it looked as though the highway wore
Eyeliner
You kissed me by surprise
When I opened my eyes
You'd turned into some old guy
I screamed
But don't forget of all these things I've only dreamed
If for one night you need the room
I can be your tomb
You can lie in me
