Beautiful Small Machines

The Wretched Sound Of City Cars

by Beautiful Small Machines
Beautiful Small Machines

Biography:

Bree Sharp & Don DiLego forged a successful writing partnership over 10 years ago during the making of Bree's debut album, A Cheap and Evil Girl (Trauma), which featured the wryly-scripted, cult hit “David Duchovny (Why Won't You Love Me)”, and Don’s critically praised, The Lonestar Hitchhiker (Universal). After completing work on what would have been Bree’s fourth solo release, the duo decided instead to scrap what was mostly a straight-forward acoustic album for a sound that incorporated whatever else was lying around the studio.

Shout-Outs to Riffstation and my guitar teacher Bobby Murillo for doing most of the work on this
tab.

Capo on 3rd Fret (also sounds fine without capo if your voice is lower)

Pattern is D, D, U, U, D, U, D, D (U) - sometimes you hear the final up strum but often not.
You can get away with never playing it

Most of the time the singing starts AFTER strumming the chord once or twice

D
I woke up this morning to the wretched sound of city cars

AM C
The cheek print on my pillow smelled of aftershave and old guitars

G D
So another day comes through my window creeping

Am C
And I'm old enough to know that it's much too late for sleeping

G D Cx2 G

D
Cameras, cloaks, and daggers guard a heart upon a hidden shelf

Am C
But no protection's better than the secret wall you build yourself

G D
And no persuasion, trick, or trade can lead you from your home

Am
Save the hand of love

C G
Even she can't keep you long


D Am
I keep lying to myself

C G
And everybody, everybody

D Am
I keep lying to myself

C G
And everybody, everybody else

D Cx2 G

D Am
Oh, seduction's like the smoke around my fingertips

C
You know cigarettes can kill you, but they look good hanging from your lips

G D
And buried deep between the darkness and the dawn

Am C G
Is where I thought I'd try to keep you 'neath a spell of fire and song


Am
But I keep lying to myself

C G
And everybody, everybody

D Am
I keep lying to myself

C G
And everybody, everybody

D Am
I keep lying to myself

C G
And everybody, everybody else

D Am
I keep lying to myself

C G
And everybody, everybody else

D Am C

C G
Everybody, everybody else

D Am

C Gx3
I've been lying to myself

Cx2 G D Am C

G
You're so far away

D G Am C
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?

G
You're so far away

D Am
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
