Beautiful Girl Tabs

(ver. 1)
Sara Bareilles
New song that she plays on tenor ukelele (same tuning as top 4 on guitar). Tabbed from 
Electric Factory 10/17/2011.
Technically, the chord labeled A13 is an A7(13), but that's a pain to read/write, so 
I've typed it the other way.

capo 3 (fret numbers relative)

Verse 1 (fingerpicked)
D                                                 G6
You wanna walk into the room like that other girl does

The one that's always making everybody fall in love
Em(9)                  A13
You see, girl you're a lot like me

D
She rearranges all the light in the room
          G6
So you're always in the shadows
                               Em(9)
Well that's what it feels like to you
           A13
Baby, I've been there too


Prechorus
    Em(9)                  A13
And I know how much it can sometimes hurt
                  D                            G6
You feel like the whole world has made you the ugly girl
Em(9)                                   A13
Take it from me that you have to see it first


Chorus (strummed thru outro)
              D                                   G6
So before you trade in your summer skin for those high heeled shoes
                  Em(9)
To make him wanna be with you
A13
Let me remind you one more time
     D                              G6
That maybe you're beautiful but you just can't see
                 Em(9)
So why don't you trust me
A13                              D
They'll see it too you beautiful girl, you


Verse 2
You wanna lay the blame on somebody else
All these tiny little minds that leave you up on a shelf
But okay, I've seen it done that way

Just in case nobody ever comes through
Riding in to come to your rescue
You still have a chance
You don't have to be asked to dance


Prechorus 2
I know how much you've been dying to say
"Look how much everybody loves me"
Guess who gets left when everyone else fades away


Chorus
Guitar solo over verse changes
Outro on verse changes (fingerpicked last time)
("You beautiful, beautiful, beautiful... girl")
