version 2
Tuning: D G D G B D
Capo: 2nd fret
To play the opening you can decide to pick the strings separately as is on the album, or just bang all the
strings as she does live. Sometimes she evens skips this kind of opening. I'm not all the certain about this
part, but I found it sounded nice this way.

On VERSE 1 you can repeat the opening solo or play it the easier way as she does live, because there is another
guitar repeating the solo.

So it's the same for the following parts:
It’s a short fucking movie man
I know I’m going to try and take it slow
Bottled water, called a drought
Come on
What’s that about?
Keep me sick to make me well
Come on, what the hell

I got up in the world to-day, wondered who it was I could save who do you think you are?
just a
girl... play guitar
I hope verse two is not too confusing, but I tried to stick the time according to the lyrics, as is famous
Marling style. I suggest that the banging up until "...was I could" to focus on the 3rd string(g).
VERSE 2
I think I could get away with saying only half what I say
No I can’t give you up
No I’m not gonna stop
CHORUS is kind of like VERSE 1, then a lot of open strings banging.

They know, but they’ll never know why
So, the singing melody in VERSE 4 is different from the melody in VERSE 2, but I'm not really sure if she
she changes a lot the way she plays from VERSE 2, so down here I'll only put the melody for VERSE 4. Feel free
to comment or try to play along to VERSE 2.
VERSE 4 OR AND VERSE 4 part2

G|-------------------------------------| G|---------------5----------------------| G|---2---9---7--|
D|-------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------| D|---2---9---7--|
So its:
VERSE 4: I don’t know what we’re afraid of
VERSE 4 part2: no, no I don't mind
VERSE 4 part2: oh, no I don't mind
VERSE 4: If I fall in love to the sound of
VERSE 4 part2: birds on the wing
VERSE 4 part2: then kiss, I'm laughing
I hope you get the gist by now.
CHORUS
They know, but they’ll never know why
They know, but they’ll never know why
They know that I loved you but they don’t know why
They know that I loved you but they’ll never know why
It's kicking off -> VERSE 1* + VERSE 1²
It's good doing slide on VERSE 1*

I am paying for my own mistake, that's ok. I don't mind a little pain.

That's okay?

It's a short fucking movie man
I know I'm going to try and take it slow
Bottled water, called a drought
Come on!
What's that about?
Keep me sick to make me well
Come on! What the hell?
I got up in the world today and wondered who it was I could save
Who do you think you are?
Just a girl that can play guitar
I think I could get away with saying only half what I say
No I can't give you up
Oh no! I'm not gonna stop
They know, but they'll never know why
They know, but they'll never know why
I don't know what we're afraid of now
I don't mind
Oh no, I don't mind
If I fall in love to the sound of birds
On the wind and kiss, I'm laughing
They know, but they'll never know why
They know, but they'll never know why
They know that I loved you but they don't know why
They know that I loved you but they'll never know why
It's all kicking off
It's kicking off
Now it's a short fucking movie, man
It's a short fucking movie, man
It's a short fucking movie, man
It's a short fucking movie, man
I know
I'm going to try and take it slow
I know
I'm going to try and take it slow
