Porcelain Tab

by Better Than Ezra


Better than Ezra, Porcelain.

I wrote this tab because I went looking for it, and it was all wrong, and I got tired of 
acting like bad asses with the wrong tab. That’s gay.

To play this correctly, down tune your guitar ½ step.

Chords:
 A     x02220 (there’s a hammer-on/pull-off here if you listen for it):
      x00232                                                  (x02230)

Intro:    (2x)

                
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve
                           
To show your face 'round here
                
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve
                        
To dredge up all my fears

                  
Well I wish I could shake some sense into you
                  
And walk out the door

Chorus (X2)
                            
But your skin is like porcelain
                            
Yeah your skin is like porcelain

             
Just the other day I felt
               
I had you by the strings
             
Just the other day I felt
               
We could be everything

             
But now when I see you, you're somebody else
                  
With somebody's eyes

                           
And your skin is like porcelain
                            
Yeah your skin is like porcelain

Bridge:

                        
I don't know what I'm sayin'
                         
I don't know if you're there
                       
In the words you are fadin'
              
Do you even care_______?
  
Oooooooh_______________!

                  
Well I wish I could kill you, savor the sight
               
Get into my car, drive into the night
            
Then lie as I scream to the heavens above
                 
That I was the last one you ever loved_____

                    
(skin is like) porcelain
                            
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
                            
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
                            
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
  

This is how it sounds best- especially on acoustic guitars. If you listen for the trends 
the playing, you can figure out the style and play the little hammer ons and pull offs 
make it sound even better. Let me know what you think. Ryan
