The Belly of Your Bedroom The Smith Street Band
Hey guys,
Here is another one off my favorite album at the moment. I put up the Self Control tab
also but it was before I had an account. I saw a comment asking for more tabs so here
it goes!
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,
Wil strums the chords at the bottom of the tab (strum up AND down, especially around the D below))

[G] [D] [Cadd9] [D]
VERSE 1
[G]Our hero sits u[D]nsteadily on a highw[Cadd9]ay rocking chair[D]
[G]Bottle of white[D] wine, the wind it r[Cadd9]uffles his well-cut hair[D]
[G]And her eyes they focus[D] backwards to the p[Cadd9]eople that he ne[D]eds
[G]They hold my instruments and my [D]backup, and[Cadd9] shirts with cut off sl[D]eeves
[G]She told me that she k[D]issed you and[Cadd9] then she told me mor[D]e
[G]Our hero knows I'm a[D]ngry and he [Cadd9]knows that I'm a bore[D]
[G]I'm sad when it is ra[D]ining, when the sun [Cadd9]comes I'm a fre[D]ak
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]My demise is only gonna let one of us[Cadd9] down
[D]And darling I'm going[G] [D] [Cadd9] [D]
VERSE 2
[G]My back it aches for tra[D]nsport, I can [Cadd9]hardly feel my[D] 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
A[G]nd I don't understand why [D]we have to be on standby [Em7]while you're overseas
[Cadd9]Can't you be free and stil[D]l know me?
And our [G]hero keeps his secrets locked up [D]somewhere in his teeth
Em7 D* Maybe I'll break
one or two just to hear him speak
CHORUS 2
BRIDGE
To[Em7] find somewhere fo[G]r us to slee[Cadd9]p
And darling I'm going to w[Em7]ork on every sing[G]le inch of me[Cadd9]
And darling I'm[Em7] going to find so[G]mewhere for us to [Cadd9]sleep
And darling I'm[Em7] going to keep on[G] living, to keep on living
To k[Cadd9]eep on keepi[D]ng on
Final Chorus
(This is where you get your friends to start clapping the drums for you, knock on your
guitar a little bit)
