The Belly Of Your Bedroom by The Smith Street Band
The Belly Of Your Bedroom
This one is pretty easy once you figure out the rhythm, just a few hammer ons you should
note: Almost every time it says D, theres a hammer on the high G (third fret on the
tiniest string)
I really hope the formatting doesnt get butchered here.
INTRO (strum this intro, the notes I tabbed out are the ones that sound the loudest,

VERSE 1
G D Cadd9 D
Our hero sits unsteadily on a highway rocking chair
G D Cadd9 D
Bottle of white wine, the wind it ruffles his well-cut hair
G D Cadd9 D
And her eyes they focus backwards to the people that he needs
G D Cadd9 D
They hold my instruments and my backup, and shirts with cut off sleeves
G D Cadd9 D
She told me that she kissed you and then she told me more
G D Cadd9 D
Our hero knows I'm angry and he knows that I'm a bore
G D Cadd9 D
I'm sad when it is raining, when the sun comes I'm a freak
G D Cadd9 D*
Our hero lives in mild temperatures and gets eight hours sleep
CHORUS
G
And I know that Im a liar
D
And I know I cant fill your desires
Em7 Cadd9 (walk down C, B, A, Gmaj)
With a body that's always gonna let the both of us down
G
And half smiles in the belly of your bedroom
D
And half lies that I never should have told you
Em7 Cadd9
My demise is only gonna let one of us down
D G D Cadd9 D
And darling I'm going
VERSE 2
G D Cadd9 D
My back it aches for transport, I can hardly feel my feet
My stitches are slowly but surely falling out of me
I know I'm not exciting but I never claimed to be
And I'll live for this morning, and I will live and let you leave
G D Em7
And I don't understand why we have to be on standby while you're overseas
Cadd9 D
Can't you be free and still know me?
G D
And our hero keeps his secrets locked up somewhere in his teeth
Em7 D* Maybe I'll break
one or two just to hear him speak
CHORUS 2
BRIDGE
Em7 G Cadd9
To find somewhere for us to sleep
Em7 G Cadd9
And darling I'm going to work on every single inch of me
Em7 G Cadd9
And darling I'm going to find somewhere for us to sleep
Em7 G
And darling I'm going to keep on living, to keep on living
Cadd9 D
To keep on keeping on
Final Chorus
(This is where you get your friends to start clapping the drums for you, knock on your
guitar a little bit)
