I figured this out on piano to accompany a friend so I thought I d throw it out there
the guitarists too. If you play the chords with finger-style arpeggios you can
the piano part on the original recording.
You can use pretty much all open chords except for the C#m, which I play barre at the
fret.
Emilie Autumn - What If
(From the album *Enchant*)
Here you sit on your high-backed chair
Wonder how the view is from there
I wouldn t know cause I like to sit
Upon the floor, yeah upon the floor
If you like we could play a game
Let s pretend that we are the same
But you will have to look much closer
Than you do, closer than you do
And I m far too tired to stay here anymore
And I don t care what you think anyway
Cause I think you were wrong about me
Yeah what if you were, what if you were
And what if I m a snowstorm burning
What if I m a world unturning
What if I m an ocean,
far too shallow, much too deep
What if I m the kindest demon
Something you may not believe in
What if I m a siren singing
gentlemen to sleep
- -
I know you ve got it figured out
Tell me what I am all about
And I just might learn a thing or two
Hundred about you, maybe about you
I m the end of your telescope
I don t change just to suit your vision
Cause I am bound by a fraying rope
Around my hands, tied around my hands
And you close your eyes when I say I m breaking free
And put your hands over both your ears
Because you cannot stand to believe I m not
The perfect girl you thought Well what have I got to lose
And what if I m a weeping willow
Laughing tears upon my pillow
What if I m a socialite
who wants to be alone
What if I m a toothless leopard
What if I m a sheepless shepherd
What if I m an angel without
wings to take me home

You don t know me
Never will, never will
I m outside your picture frame
And the glass is breaking now
You can t see me
Never will, never will
If you re never gonna see
What if I m a crowded desert
Too much pain with little pleasure
What if I m the nicest place
you never want to go
What if I don t know who I am
Will that keep us both from trying
To find out and when you have
Be sure to let me know
What if I m a snowstorm burning
What if I m a world unturning
What if I m an ocean, far too
shallow, much too deep
What if I m the kindest demon
Something you may not believe in
What if I m a siren singing
Gentlemen to sleep
Sleep...
Sleep...
