Something Beautiful | Needtobreathe | Chords & Lyrics
Posted on 20. Mar, 2010 by Colton in Poems, Songs, Tabs
From the first time I heard Something Beautiful on the radio, I loved the song! I’ve heard it dozens of times since, and each time I hear it I Like it more!
The song is difficult to tab because of how fast the chords change, especially the bridge, but this is my best take at it. I play it with CAPO 1, but if you would rather not use a capo, just add (#) to each chord.
Song | Something Beautiful CAPO 1
Album | The Outsiders
Artist | Needtobreathe
Intro:
C F C (2x)
Verse 1:
C F C
In your ocean, I’m ankle deep
C F C
I feel the waves crashin’ on my feet
C F Am
It’s like I know where I need to be
G F
But I can’t figure out, yeah I can’t figure out
C F C
Just how much air I will need to breathe
C F C
When your tide rushes over me
C F Am
There’s only one way to figure out
G F
Will you let me drown, will you let me drown
Chorus 1:
C F
Hey now, this is my desire
Am G
Consume me like a fire, ’cause I just want something beautiful
C F
To touch me, I know that I’m in reach
Am G
‘Cause I am down on my knees, I’m waiting for something beautiful
C F Am G C
Oh oh, Oh oh, oh-oh-oh something beautiful
Verse 2:
And the water is risin’ quick
And for years I was scared of it
We can’t be sure when it will subside
So I won’t leave your side, no I can’t leave your side
Chorus 2:
C F
Hey now, this is my desire
Am G
Consume me like a fire, ’cause I just want something beautiful
C F
To touch me, I know that I’m in reach
Am G
‘Cause I am down on my knees, I’m waiting for something beautiful
C F Am G C
Oh oh, Oh oh, oh-oh-oh something beautiful (Repeat last line)
Bridge:
C F C C F C
In a daydream, I couldn’t live like this
C G
I wouldn’t stop until I found something beautiful
C F C C F C
When I wake up, And all I want, I have
C G
You know it’s still all I need something beautiful
Chorus 2
I Hope you enjoy the song! I have Something Beautiful from YouTube on the sidebar, just in case you need to hear it.

Just ran across this site and thought I would add that the actual song is played in dadgad tuning but one more half step down. Awesome song! I have seen them in concert three times. I was about 10 feet from them when they did this song acoustic.

This song is absolutely awesome, and these chords are perfect! One thing I saw on another site is that playing capo 5 can sound really good with it too (and change chords to G-C-Em-D)

Thank you for your input
But actually when you are playing the “C” chord with a capo on the first fret, the actual chord you are playing is equivalent to a “C#” chord, or “Db”. So if you add (#) to each of these chords that I have listed, that is the actual key of the chord you are playing with a Capo on the 1st fret…I hope that makes sense.

I may be wrong but when you take away the capo you have to move everything down a half step, not up. I think you have to add a flat to everything. But thanks the chords are great!
