• Song:

    Skin

  • Artist:

    Alexz Johnson

  • Album:

    Instant Star

okay so i know so many people have tabbed 'skin' before... four times to be precice... 
my opinion is that the other tabs have been so so close to being right, but are getting 
chord wrong, you dont have to belive me but i think i got it 99.9% correct.

so the main chords are Em, G, C, Dadd6add9 --->(this chord is D in a lower key and 
much better than using just 'D' and really works for the song.)

so if you aren't sure what Dadd6add9 is... here you are...
e-----|
b-----|
g--2--|
d-----|           simple aint it!?
a-----|
e--2--|

and for the struming, play the way Alexz does in the song... i play it down, down, down 
down, down up, down down and repeat for the verses ...

                  (spaced it so theres no confusion)

and down, down up down, down up down up, down down and repeat for the chorus.

just make sure you know the song or the strumming will be quite the conundrum for you.

so enjoy this wonderful song!

intro- Em, G, C, Dadd6add9


verse 1-
Em
I drift away to a place
G               C
another kind of life
                       <--- (that big space... keep strumming C)
Take away the pain
  Dadd6add9
i create my paridise

Em
everything ive held
    G       C
has hit the wall

what used to be yours
     Dadd6add9
isnt yours at all

Pre Chorus-
Am
falling apart in all that im asking
D
is this a crime am i over-reacting?

Chorus-
Em  C       G        Dadd6add9
oh,     hes under my skin
Em           C               G      Dadd6add9
just give me somthing to get rid of him
Em        C             G    Dadd6add9
ive got a reason now to bury this alive
Em      C      G     Dadd6add9
another little white lie

verse 2
so what you had didn't fit
G                C
among the pretty things

never fear never fear
  Dadd6add9
i now know where you've been
Em
braids have been untied
   G            C
as ribbons fall away

leave the consequence
   Dadd6add9
my tears you'll taste

Pre Chorus 2
Am
falling apart in all that i question
D
is this a dream or is this my lesson?

chorus-
Em  C       G        Dadd6add9
oh,     hes under my skin
Em           C               G      Dadd6add9
just give me somthing to get rid of him
Em        C             G    Dadd6add9
ive got a reason now to bury this alive
Em      C      G     Dadd6add9
another little white lie

Bridge-

Am
I don't believe I'll be alright
C
I don't believe I'll be OK
D                                       Em
I don't believe how you've thrown me away
Am
I do believe you didn't try
C
I do blame you for every lie
D
When I look in your eyes, I don't see mine

chorus-
Em  C       G        Dadd6add9
oh,     hes under my skin
Em           C               G      Dadd6add9
just give me somthing to get rid of him
Em        C             G    Dadd6add9
ive got a reason now to bury this alive
Em      C      G     Dadd6add9
another little white lie
Em  C       G             Dadd6add9
oh,      my permission to sin
Em             C          G       Dadd6add9
you might have started my reckonin'
Em         C             G    Dadd6add9 Em(let it ring)
i've got a reason now to bury him       alive

another little white lie
