Chords

All chords names are written in "concert pitch" i.e. not transposed. This way the chord names work also for e.g. piano accompaniment. The song starts in Eb Major, with a bridge in Eb minor, before modulating one last time to B Major at the Outro. The chords in the intro/verses marked with * would have weird spicy names like EbM7(no3) or C7sus2 or Ab(sus2)(#11) but honestly they're all just the Perfect 5th and Major 7th with respect to Eb held steady while the root/bass note changes underneath. Same thing with the Ab**. xM7 is the major seventh (Major 3rd, Major 7th) xm7 is the minor seventh (minor 3rd, minor 7th) x7 is the dominant seventh (Major 3rd, minor 7th) ********************* | Eb* xx244x | Cm* x4x44x | Ab* x0x44x | Bb x2x44x | EbM7 022444 | Cm9/G 446444 | Fm7 242222 | Ab6 x02222 | Abm x02210 | Ab** x02444 | Bb6 x24444 | Ebm 075000 | Db* 554030 | Cb 332010 | Bb7 x21202 | E 133211 | Em 133111 | B 332010 | G#m 002210 | C#m x00231 | F# 320033 | D#m 022000 *********************

********************* [Intro] Eb* Cm* Ab* Bb [Verse]
Eb*
I don't wanna write this song

Cm*
But it's been building for so long

Ab*
I know it's getting late

Bb*
But we need a cleaner slate

Eb*
It isn't only you

Cm*
Yeah, I wish I was better too

Ab*
Don't want to drag this out

Bb
You know what it's about
[Chorus 1]
                    EbM7
Could you wash your dishes?

          Cm9/G
'Cause it isn't really fair

       Fm7
If the silverware we share

           Ab6             Abm
Is left to rust out in the air

                    EbM7
Could you wash your dishes?

    Cm9/G
The pan you used to fry

            Fm7
Filled with water that has dried

       Ab6         Abm
Has an oily film inside

                       Eb*   Bb
Because you didn't use soap
[Verse 2]
Eb*                         Cm*
I heard the things you said

                               Ab*
I know it's hard to plan ahead

                                 Bb
But you leave your plates behind
N.C. And complain if I leave mine
EbM7
I'm not the only one who feels this way

Cm9/G
Roommate told me just the other day

Ab**
Long blonde hair left in the shower

Ab**
There's no way it could be ours

Bb6
He's bald and my hair is brown

Bb6
But we can talk about it
[Chorus 2]
                    EbM7
While you wash your dishes

              Cm9/G
The ones that you left in the sink

      Fm7
For a week and now they stink

            Ab6               Abm
It's not as hard as you might think

             EbM7
To wash your dishes

      Cm9/G
Or at least a bowl and spoon

       Fm7
'Cause I've got uni soon

        Ab6         Abm
And I'm already not in a great mood
[Bridge]
Ebm                    Db*
I won't clean up after you

         Cb
I got my own mess too

                           N.C.         Bb7
Forks and knives I've been hiding in my room

Ebm                  Db*
Won't clean up after you

         Cb
I got my own mess too

                  E    Em
But not as bad as you
[Outro]
                    B
Could you wash your dishes?

          G#m
I know we aren't the best of friends

       C#m
And I don't mean to offend

    F#
But I won't ask again

               B       G#
Just wash your dishes

          C#m     F#
Wash your dishes

          B      D#m
Wash your dishes

          C#m    F#   B
Wash your dishes
