Meg & Dia - Masterpiece
Something Real, 2006
Doghouse Records

This is what I would assume the song sounds like.

Standard tuning (EADGBE)
Capo: 4

Original song would be E,B,C#m,A, and G#m chords without the capo.
I made it somewhat easier by adding the capo on 4 and using C,G,Am,F, and Em chords instead.

Enjoy.

Intro:
C
G
Am
G

Verse 1:
C
 Too bad you knew me.
G
 When I wasn't ready.
Am
 I wasn't ready.
F
 Did I say, "Come and get me?"
C
 Too bad I held on.
G                           Am
 When you tried to tell me. This was wrong.
G
 Well, is this wrong?

Bridge 1:
Am       G                 F            G
 I am no masterpiece where innocence is painted green.
Am        G                     F           G
 Isn't it strange to think that you created all of me?

Chorus:
C
 Done by the hands of a broken artist.
G
 You painted black where my naked heart is.
Am
 I finally know what wrong is.
G
 Now I finally know that you bleed for nothing.
C
 Carved like a stone with your hands still shaking.
G
 On display through a soul still breaking.
Am
 Aren't you proud you're the one that made me?
G
 Aren't you proud you're the one that made me?

Verse 2:
C                G
 You can't erase these.
                      Am
 Lines you can't save me.
                   G
 You can't display me.
                      C
 You know what dismay means.
                  G
 I can't even try to.
               Am
 Remember what I knew.
                 G
 Before I became your.

 Model to claim no.

Bridge 2:
Am       G
 I am no masterpiece.
    F                     G
 So strange that you made all of me.

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
Em      Am
 I grew tired.
        F
 You expired.
     C
 You finished me.
Em        Am               F
 Now that I'm all that you planned.
              C
 Well tell me what do you think?

(Chorus)

C                 
 Too bad you knew me.
G
 I wasn't ready.
Am       G              C(hold)
 I am no masterpiece at all...
