Chords

This is such a beautiful and simple song; I don't know why anyone hasn't made a correct, definitive chord sheet of it. Anyway, here goes my version. CHORD CHART C 032010 F 133211 Am x02210 or 577555 G 320033 or 355433 [INTRO] C - F x3 G - F [Verse]
C               F                  
Thursday night, everything's fine, 

C                        F
except you've got that look in your eye

         C                   F                 
when I'm tellin' a story and you find it boring,

       G                        F
you're thinking of something to say.

           C                  F                   
You'll go along with it then drop it 

         C      F 
and humilliate me

            C            F
in front of our friends.
G - F [Verse]
     C                         F
Then I'll use that voice that you find annoyin'

        C
and say something like

                   F
"yeah, intelligent input, darlin',

                   C                       F
why don't you just have another beer then?"
G - F [Verse]
             C
Then you'll call me a bitch

     F                        C
and everyone we're with will be embarrassed,

    F           C       F
and I wont give a shit.
G - F [Chorus]
    F
My fingertips are holding 

         Am
onto the cracks in our foundation,

       G
and I know that I should let go,

    F
but I can't.

    Am                                  G
And every time we fight I know it's not right,

                                   F
every time that you're upset and I smile.

                            G
i know I should forget, but I can't.
[Verse]
C                   F
You said I must eat so many lemons

C                F
    'cause I am so bitter.

C
I said

               F
"I'd rather be with your friends mate 

  G                   F
'cause they are much fitter."
[Verse]
C                        F          
Yes, it was childish and you got aggressive,

C                     F
and I must admit that I was a bit scared,

C               F                    G  F
but it gives me thrills to wind you up.
[Chorus]
    F
My fingertips are holding 

         Am
onto the cracks in our foundation,

       G
and I know that I should let go,

    F
but I can't.

    Am                                  G
And every time we fight I know it's not right,

                                   F
every time that you're upset and I smile.

                            G
I know I should forget, but I can't.
[Verse]
C            F      
Your face is pasty 

        C                      F
'cause you've gone and got so wasted,

         C 
what a surprise.

              F                G
Don't want to look at your face

                    F
 'cause it's makin' me sick.
[Verse]
C               F              C    
You've gone and got sick on my trainers,

       F              C
I only got these yesterday.

             F                    G             F     
Oh, my gosh, I cannot be bothered with this.
[Verse]
C                                    F
Well, I'll leave you there 'till the mornin',

      C                        F
and I purposely won't turn the heating on

     C               F                  G          F
and dear God, I hope I'm not stuck with this one.
[Chorus]
    F
My fingertips are holding 

         Am
onto the cracks in our foundation,

       G
and I know that I should let go,

    F
but I can't.

    Am                                  G
And every time we fight I know it's not right,

                                   F
every time that you're upset and I smile.

                            G
I know I should forget, but I can't.
[Outro]
    F                                   Am
And every time we fight I know it's not right,

                                   G
every time that you're upset and I smile.

                            F
I know I should forget, but I can't.

    Am                                  G
And every time we fight I know it's not right,

                                   F
every time that you're upset and I smile.

                            G
I know I should forget, but I can't.
