My Song Tab

by Brandi Carlile


This is my first tab so be easy on me. I don't know if it's 100%, but it is more 

Standard Tuning, No Capo!


Intro:

-


                                                          
Everything I do surrounds these pieces of my life that often change
              
Or maybe I've changed
                                                              
Sometimes seeming happy can be self destructive even when you're sane
        
Or only insane
                
But don't bother waking me today

Chorus:


Here I am
       
I'm so young
                                           
I know I've been bitter, I've been jaded, I'm alone
                      
Every day I'll bite my tongue
                                    
If you only knew my mind was full of razors
                               
That cuts you like a word if only sung...
                   
But this is my song
        
It is my song


                                                                   
Now I live every day like there will never be a last one till they're gone
            
And they're gone
                                                                  
I'm too proud to beg for your attention and your friendship and your time
                                  
So you can come and get it from now on

Chorus


Here I am
       
I'm so young
                                           
I know I've been bitter, I've been jaded, I'm alone
                      
Every day I'll bite my tongue
                                    
If you only knew my mind was full of razors
                               
That cuts you like a word if only sung...
                   
But this is my song
        
It is my song

- until Bridge

Bridge:


Here I am
       
I'm so young
                                           
I know I've been bitter, I've been jaded, I'm alone
                      
Every day I'll bite my tongue
                                    
If you only knew my mind was full of razors
                 
I'm not sure I can take it
                     
I'm nothing strong to hold to
                
I'll wait to only hate you
                  
My mind is full of razors
                               
That cuts you like a word if only sung
               
But this is my song

D-Bm til end. Ends on a D chord without playing the e-string

I play the begining of the chorus, when you switch from D to Bm like this:

   

e--2--0--2--2--0--2-|
b--3--3--3--3--2--3-|
g--2--2--2--2--3--4-|
d--0--0--0--0--0--4-|
a--x--x--x--x--x--2-|
e--x--x--x--x--x--x-|

here I Am  I'm so young
