Missy Higgins Special Two Chords Guitar Tab

Many people haven't heard of Missy Higgins, but she is a girl who comes from Melbourne
in Victoria, Australia. She has just hit he 20's and she is going strong!
Tabbed By Amilliea
Song: The Special Two
Album: The Sound Of White
This is a song from he new album and it is a really great song.
Intro:Bm, A, D x2
Bm, A, D Bm, A,
I've hardly been outside this room in days, 'cause I don't feel that I
D
deserve the sunshine's rays.
Bm, A, D Bm, A,
The darkness helps until the whiskey wears away, and it's then I realize the
D
conscience never fades.
Bm, A, D Bm, A,
When you're young you have this image of your life:that you'll be
D
scrupulous and one day even make a wife.
Bm, A, D Bm, A,
And you make boundaries you'd never dream to cross, and if you happen to you
D
wake completely lost.
Bm, A, D
But I will fight for you, be sure that I will fight until we're the special
two once again.
Chorus:
Bm, A, D G Bm
When we could only need each other, we'd breathe together, our hands would
A D G
not be taught to hold another's, when we were the special two.
Bm, A, D G Bm, A,
And we could only see each other, we'd breathe together, these arms will not
D G
be taught to need another, 'cause we were the special two.
Verse 2:
I remember someone old once said to me: "lies will lock you up with truth the only
key."
But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell, and couldn't see this place would
soon become my hell.
So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face? Well I guess the answer is
don't do it in the first place.
I know I'm not deserving of your trust from you right now, but if by chance you change
your mind you know I will not let you down 'cause we were the special two, and will be again.
Chorus:
And we will only need each other, we'll breathe together, our hands will not be taught
to need another's, when we're the special two.
And we could only see each other we'll breathe together, these arms will not be taught
to need another...
Chorus 2: (I think)
I step outside my mind's eye's for a minute. And I look over me like a doctor looking
for disease, or something that could ease the pain.
But nothing cures the hurt you bring onto yourself, just remembering, just remembering
who we were...
Enjoy!

Whoa, some of the lyrics are a bit off... anyways, Missy is a great rep for Aus, and it's great that her record company hasn't 'standardised' her voice, it's that voice that makes the songs work so well, and its good that she went big in America before Aus so she had good footing for her first CD but yeh, the song is definitely about losing someones trust, someone you love, and knowing that this person is the only one for you, and you have ruined everything

i love missy higgins. my best friend moved out to australia at the start of the year, round about the same time me and my boyf split up after 2 yrs so i was pretty down. my mate sent me this song and the lyrics have really helped me pull through. this song totally sums up the completeness of true love i think... and she'll always fight for the guy, which i would too. she's kinda haunting with her voice cos it sounds so different. her music does make me cry, especialy the first time i heard it....so pretty* she's a star definitely

Missy is awesome. Missy has a great voice. Her voice is a part of how awesome she is. The accent for me is a sign of her being comfortable with her music. She is able to make her music "feel like home" and she is also an amazing songwriter. Awesome live - World Vision Tsunami Appeal Concert (tops) I agree arianrhod she is a cute little button :p Go Aussie!

Everything about her is great - her music, her writing, her voice. She sounds so real, so saturated, so much older than her 21 years. I love her for her honesty. And she's just such a cute little button as well!

^No pun intended i guess????? Did anyone see the fantastic performance Missy did at the Aussie MTV Music Awards??? The Special Two is almost better when performed live. And Green Day were in the audience...they would have been stoked!!!!! Unlike the absolutely crap performance Kelly Osbourne did. Boy was she out of key...i wanted to cry!!!!!!!

the lyrics in song were def the 1st thing i noticed when i 1st heard it. what i think is the most beautiful thing abt it is its utter desperation and complete refusal to compromise love. the lyrics: these hands will not be taught to hold anothers how else to describe complete devotion to someone?

I love this song. I believe she cheated on him. I remember someone old once said to me: “lies will lock you up with truth the only key.” But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell, and couldn’t see this place would soon become my hell. So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face? Well I guess the answer is don’t do it in the first place. This part made it clear to me that it was about her being unfaithful. I know I’m not deserving of your trust from you right now, but if by chance you change your mind you know I will not let you down This part also - she doesn't deserve his trust. I really like this song a lot. For a while though, I couldn't listen to it. It was playing on the radio shortly after my boyfriend broke up with me because I cheated on him and he found out.. I cried so much and then I couldn't listen to it anymore. I actually really like her accent too. A lot of people think it's way too yob.. but I think she's great.

i heard somewhere that it's about a friend of hers... a girl i mean... maybe her sister. i dk... sorry i don't have reliable info... but i feel that spesh 2. can be related to so many situations and thats why she connects so well with her audience. Her voice is really something, i adore it... she sings with SSOOO much emotion, it wouldn't be the same if she didn't write her own songs, she knows what she's on about... noted that this song also teaches a lesson... or 2...

I don't think i've actually met anyone who doesn't appreciate Missy Higgins! Great to see Aussie acts finally getting some mainstream recognition; but sarah_tyger, i don't think there is a lack of australian talent at all. You just have to look and search a bit deeper beyond commercial road b/c there really are some fantastic acts going around who don't get much, if any kudos!

I lvve the fact that Missy's an Aussie, we need more artists. She's an awesome singer and songwriter. She's so incredibly honest in all her music. This song is about having hurt the one person in the world that you can't live without, and wanting everything to go back to how it was. This is my favourite song on the album too:)

This is a beautiful song about loosing the trust of a loved one and describing all the dreams and emotions involved with this one person. It presents the mistake being made and how she feels strong remorse and regrets wat she did "I know I’m not deserving of your trust from you right now, but if by chance you change your mind you know I will not let you down ‘cause we were the special two, and will be again." It also describes how when two people are together that were made for each other feel and how nothing should get between them and just no one else will do

I agree with regan_89, the first time i heard this song it made me cry as i had just cheated on my boyfreind, and i was desperate for him to forgive me and for everything to go back to the way it used to be, it was then i knew that Missy was writing about being unfaithful to someone she loved. Theres a real desperation feeling in the chorus as her singing speeds up. I only wish i could be as articulate with my emotions as Missy is. Fabulous song, great voice, and go aussie, go!
