My Better Half by Bo Burnham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Better Half - Bo Burnham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: pewpewguitar (Sean Andrea) Email: seanrulez99@hotmail.com Tuning: Standard OK this is my first tab, not sure how the whole template works exactly, but I'll give it shot. I just wanted to figure this song out for myself because it wasn't on here, but now that have I figured I might as well share. Also, I'm not sure how on earth you get the chord diagrams to show up, so I'll just leave it to you to figure out the chords, pretty easy though. **QUICK NOTE** There's a few parts in this song where he puts his hand up to the 10th and plays the strings kind of muted, not sure what it's called but for the sake of here I'll just say (10th muffled) mmk? Anyways, lissen' to the song for timing and strumming patterns and whatnot. So for the first verse you pick these notes, just a Em chord and a G chord. Play 2x for intro. Em G e|--------------------------------0---------------------------------------3--| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------0----------------------------------------0----------| D|---------2-------------------------------------------0---------------------| A|---2----------------------------------------2------------------------------| E|---------------0-------------------------------------------3---------------| you filled the hole that pierced my soul, i promised that i'd find someone willing to take a run, round pleasures of my mind am i perv? cause every nerv is cravin for your touch Em D (10th muffled) you make me laugh youre my better half, though you weigh twice as much Strum D a few times here. Em G 350 pounds of love Em Cmaj7 you mustve fell from up above Em G D and killed the townspeople below (10th muffled) you had a crush and you let it show Em G Em Cmaj7 when i want to pleasure you i need an expedition crew Em G D (pick the high e string a few times) with all those trips to KFC, you eat out more than me. Em G Em Cmaj7 Em G D (Now for this verse go back to picking like the first verse) we look just like the number 10 when you stand next to me is it your stare that pulls me in? or just gravity you mix mayonnaise with your scotch youre the perfect spouse (Start strumming Em chord here) D (strum once) last week we went on a whale watch (10th muffled) The boat drove to your house. Strum the D chord a few times then go to chorus. Em G 350 pounds of pain Em Cmaj7 when you exhale al gore goes insane Em G whenever we make out D (10th muffled) i taste jam and sauerkraut Em G Em Cmaj7 we went on a sailing trip you fell and floated beside the ship Em G D then a boat docked on your pants (pick the high e string while keeping the D chord) and said "i claim this island in the name of france." Em G Em Cmaj7 Em G D Alrighty, now heres a note, I'm not sure if these chords are right, but they sound kinda what he playes so I'll put 'em on. Em G Em then you did what i feared you dissapeared Em G Cmaj7 Em saying this was something new Em G Em G lyposuction, breast reduction D and what came home wasnt you D no no no no it wasnt you it was Em G 120 pounds of hate, Em Cmaj7 and you said, "i look great." Em G D and when the nurse removed the fat, they found the neighbors cat Em G i just paused and said to her Em Cmaj7 i loved you just the way you were Em G D then she smiled and for my sake D Em G Em Cmaj7 said, "pass the caaaaaaaaaaaaake!" Em Em G Em D pass the caaaaaaake Em G Em Cmaj7 Pass the caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake Em G D Pass the caaaaaaaake Anyways, thats it, hope its satisfactory, comment or send me an e-mail. peaceee www.TAB6.com
