The Shape I Found You In by Girlyman
The Shape I Found You In
Tuning: EADGAC#
Capo 1
Tune you guitar like this from standard tuning:
1. Lower your B [5th] string one whole step to A (2nd fret on the G string)
2. Lower your high E [6th] string 1-1/2 steps to C# (4th fret on your newly tuned A
string)
3. Apply your capo to fret 1
Please tune carefully or it will sound like ass. I play the low G note with my thumb
the G chord as a bar.
There are several simple picking patterns that repeat:

Example:
A G
You were delivered to me
A D D1 - D2 - D3
We were closed as the stores on Christmas Eve
A E1
So I felt around in the dark
G D1
Building rope ladders into your heart
D1 E2 G
Climbing hand over hand to get in
D1 E2 A
That's the shape I found you in
D1 E2 A
That's the shape I found you in

version 2
G Em C Cadd9
You were spoken for
G Em C Cadd9
I spent twenty lifetimes at your door
G D
But your heart was busy within
Em C Cadd9
Building bomb shelters under your skin
G Em C
That's the shape I found you in
Em D G
That's the shape I found you in
G Em C Cadd9
I was calling to you
G Em C Cadd9
It was one thing I knew how to do
G D
But my heart tried to cheat
Em C Cadd9
Building safety nets under my feet
G Em C
So if I fell I would fall right in
Em D G
That's the shape I found you in
G Em C Cadd9
You were delivered to me
G Em C Cadd9
We were closed as the stores on Christmas eve
G D
So I felt around in the dark
Em C Cadd9
Building rope ladders into your heart
G Em C
Climbing hand over hand to get in
Em D C
That's the shape I found you in
Em D G
That's the shape I found you in
