Here are the chords to "Underneath" by Sam Tsui.
It is a bonus track from the Kickstarter exclusive CD of 'Make It Up'.
If you can't or don't feel like playing the seventh chords, then
feel free to replace them with the regular ones, but I like the seventh
chords because they add tone colour and character - can't find to right word to explain
what I mean haha. My favourite part of this song is the bridge - I love the change
of chord pattern as well as the lyrics :)
It is a beautiful song, with a beautiful message. I really love it :)
CAPO ON FRET 3
INTRO:
D Em7 Bm7 G
Hmmmmmmmmmm
VERSE 1:
D
Somewhere buried deep below
Em7
the part of you you wanna show
Bm7 G
is someone nobody sees.
D
You dig a hole to hide your heart
Em7
'till every piece of who you are.
Bm7 G
Is all but lost beneath your feet.
PRECHORUS:
D
But I know better
Em7
And I can't let your
Bm7 G
little room be where you always stay.
D
I know they've got you so afraid,
Em7
You put your faith in masks you made.
Bm7 G
Can you trust enough to peel them all away?
CHORUS:
D Em7 Bm7
Underneath, all the secrets that you keep,
G D
and the smile I don't believe
Em7 Bm7 G
is the you I wanna see, underneath.
D Em7 Bm7
Underneath, all the faces that you wear,
G D
I know someone's hiding there,
Em7 Bm7 G D
'Cause the you I wanna see, is underneath, underneath.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
D G
VERSE 2:
D
Everyday the same routine
Em7
of hiding what you really mean
Bm7 G
behind the things they wanna hear.
D
You keep the words you wish you'd said
Em7
inside a box beneath your bed
Bm7 G
like maybe that'll make them disappear.
PRECHORUS:
D
But you know better
Em7
And you can't let your
Bm7 G
little room be where you always stay.
D
'Cause everything you're scared to show,
Em7
is beautiful,
Bm7 G
But you'll never know if you keep it locked away.
CHORUS:
D Em7 Bm7
Underneath, all the secrets that you keep,
G D
and the smile I don't believe
Em7 Bm7 G
is the you I wanna see, underneath.
D Em7 Bm7
Underneath, all the faces that you wear,
G D
I know someone's hiding there,
Em7 Bm7 G C
'Cause the you I wanna see, is underneath, underneath.
BRIDGE:
C D
What's the point of living underground?
C D
You know that's not a life at all ohhhhh
Bm A
So you're scared of your scars,
G D/F#
but you're perfect as you are.
C A
You know better heyyyyyy
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
Bm A G Bm A G Bm A G Bm A
(Underneath) (Ohh woah)
CHORUS:
D Em7 Bm7
Underneath, all the secrets that you keep,
G D
and the smile I don't believe
Em7 Bm7 G
is the you I wanna see, underneath.
D Em7 Bm7
Underneath,(underneath) all the faces that you wear,
G D
I know someone's hiding there,
Em7 Bm7 G D
'Cause the you I wanna see, is underneath, underneath.
OUTRO:
D Em7 Bm7 G D
