------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Body - Nina Nastasia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Ben Hurst Email: BHurst8@gmail.com From the album "Run to Ruin" A pretty song on guitar, a perfectly gorgeous song with Nina's vocals and piano/string accompaniment. Tuning: Standard I'm having difficulty with the time signature so I split up the measures to best accompany the vocals.

Lyrics & Sequence: Verse 1 My blood for you My lover's bruise My clothes are scattered My skull is fractured Verse 2 One lock of your hair In my grip Tears on my lip Cut from my bit Break Verse 3 My gaze can not keep Freckled and green Whirling over chills Of my morning Verse(Instrumental) Verse 4 Why did you do it? Why did you? While I was pleasing? Will I be waiting? Break Outro Giant caws blow Through the switches We are heirs Who's not a coward? All await The eyes to cloud For the will To leave the birches | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
