|-3--3-----0----0--0--2--3-|
|-3--3-----3----1--0--3--4-|
|-0--0-----2----2--0--2--5-|

Cm is a barre chord.
I know the intro and verses up to the Em. it goes something like this:
G Cadd9 G D/F# ((the Em after: ))
e|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------5---------5-|
G|-----5-----5-------------7-------------5---5---------|
D|---------7-------5-----5-------------6-------6---6---|
A|-7-7---8-----7-7---5-5-------------6-----------6-----|
E|-8-----------8-----7---------------------------------|
and then it does something i can't quite put my finger on. look for updates.

[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
G C G D/F#
I wish that I was beautiful for you
G C G D/F# Em
I wish that I inspired tiny fireworks inside the way you do
G
So delicately made
C
A prayer left un-prayed
C G Am G D C Am
Before the morning sky fades up to blue
Cm
And I wish that I was beautiful for you
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
G C G D/F#
I wish that somehow I could find a pill
G C G
For a quick fix modern tonic that would change me with one
D/F# Em
swallow I would kill
G
Watch folks line up to pay
C
Stare at me all day
C G Am G D C Am
But I'd turn them all away if that be thy will
Cm
One tiny little innocuous pill
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
[G] [C] [G]
D/F# Am D Am
But a wish is just a pin in a swimming pool of needles
Em A G C D/F# G
If for one night you need the room I wish to be your tomb
D/F#
You can lie in me
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
G C G D/F#
Is it possible I have other things you need
G C G D/F#
But to be worthy of a single page out of one of those magazines you
Em
Read
G
As glossy as a mirror
C
But mirrors never lie
C G Am G D C Am
They're difficult on the eye it's true
Cm
And I wish that I was beautiful for you
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
G C G D/F#
I dreamed that we were traveling on a bus
G C D/F#
Speeding along an un-named plain towards somewhere and nowhere there
Em
was us
G
Our hands lay useless in our laps
C
Like beetles on their backs
G C G D/F#
We came to a stretch of road where a fire
G C G D/F#
Had burned the edges all along it looked as though the highway wore
Em
Eyeliner
G
You kissed me by surprise
C
When I opened my eyes
C G Am G D C
You'd turned into some old guy
Am
I screamed
Cm G
But don't forget of all these things I've only dreamed
[Am] [D] [Am] [Am] [Em] [A]
G C
If for one night you need the room
D/F# G
I can be your tomb
D/F#
You can lie in me
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#] [G]
