Chords

Transcribed from the premiere of this wonderful song on Jools Holland's Later programme on BBC2, May 2012 That performance was accompanied by piano - no guitar - so I hope the following represents a good arrangement for solo guitar. All chords relative to open tuning i.e. for Asus2 play x02200 which is in fact A#sus2 Chords ------ Asus2 x02200 Bsus4 x24400 C#m x46650 E 022100 B/G# 4x4400 Intro ----- Asus2 E C#m Bsus4 Asus2 E Bsus4 Verse 1 -------

Asus2     E      C#m     Bsus4
Let's get old to-gether

Asus2       E         Bsus4 B/G#
Let's be un-happy for-ever

            Asus2          E           Bsus4   C#m
Cos there's no-one else in this world

     Asus2      E          Bsus4    B/G#
That I'd rather be unhappy with

Verse 2 -------

Asus2       E               C#m     Bsus4
Let's be ex-posed and unpro-tected

Asus2           E                 Bsus4    B/G#
Let's see one a-nother when we're weak

Asus2        E                    Bsus4         C#m
Let's go our separate ways in the night like to Mars

    Asus2            E              Bsus4
But know that you're flying home to me

Pre-chorus 1 ------------

/G#   Asus2                  E
I was born thinking it would all be dreaming

      C#m                     Bsus4
But I know that I wouldn't be happy that way

    Asus2                            E
You wear me out with frustration and heartache and anger

       F#                        Asus2     /C
But we wait for the wave just to wash it a-way

Chorus 1 --------

C#m       Asus2
Don't say nothing

C#m      /B   /A  E
Just sit next to  me

C#m       Asus2
Don't say nothing ssshhh

     F#      Asus2
Just be just be just be

E Bsus4 Verse 3 -------

Asus2     E     C#m     Bsus4
Let's let go to-gether

Asus2      E          Bsus4 B/G#
Let us un-fold one an-other

    Asus2         E                  Bsus4           C#m
And watch all the little things that once drew me to you

Asus2      E         Bsus4
Eventually get on my nerves

  Asus2                             E
I wear you out with frustration and heartache and anger

       F#                        Asus2     /C
But we wait for the wave just to wash it a-way

Chorus 2 --------

C#m       Asus2
Don't say nothing

C#m      /B   /A  E
Just sit next to  me

Don't say nothing ssshhh

     F#      Asus2   E
Just be just be just be

Bridge ------

Asus2       Bsus4            E   /F# /G /G#
When you're sick of me every day ohh oh oh

Asus2       Bsus4            E   /F# /G /G#
When you're tired of my voice

Asus2         Bsus4     C#m
When you tell me you'll walk out that door

              F#               Asus2/A# /B /C
That's when I know that you'll stay woh oh
