Biography:
Catherine Tift Merritt (born January 8, 1975, in Houston, Texas, but moved to Raleigh, North Carolina soon after) is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter, musician. She is currently based in New York.
Merritt's father taught her guitar chords and Percy Sledge songs. She began her professional career in 1998 with her band The Carbines playing small clubs. In her early twenties, though Tift had gigged by herself, she decided she was not very good at music and better suited for writing short stories.

Tift Merritt - Feeling Of Beauty
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
Cadd9 C
Driving without destination
Cadd9 F
Leaving our clothes there on the bank and
C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
Swimming in a river with no name
Cadd9 C
The crazy way the motor jangles
Cadd9 F
Talking to somebody, ain't got no angles
C
Somebody meeting somebody halfway
CHORUS:
G F
Every once in awhile the feeling of beauty
Catches my breath, runs right through me
G F C Cadd9 C
If you don't mind, I'll stay on another couple of days
Cadd9 C
Finding out just what you're made of
Cadd9 F
A stretch of green grass made to make love
C Cadd9 C
Racing stripes and hurricanes
Cadd9 C
The few things really worth knowing
Cadd9 F
Like where you think that red bird's going
C
And no illusions on a clear day
CHORUS:
G F
Every once in awhile the feeling of beauty
Catches my throat, runs right through me
G F C Cadd9 C F
If you don't mind, I'll stay on another couple of days
BRIDGE:
Fmaj7 Am
Doing right when it's not easy
Dm
Calling out without thinking
G C
Something sweet you just wanted to say
Cadd9 C
I'm alright, thanks for asking
Cadd9 F
Still got a few hopes in my basket
C Cadd9 C
Light in the kitchen still on real late
Cadd9 C
I love the way that screen door catches
Cadd9 F
A stranger with a pack of matches and
C
Starting out when I don't know the way
CHORUS:
G F
Every once in awhile the feeling of beauty
Catches my heart, runs right through me
G F C
If you don't mind, I'll stay on another couple of days
G F C
It's alright with you, I'll stay on another couple of days
G F C
It's alright with you, I'll stay on another couple of days
