As recorded by Paolo Nutini (From the 2022 Album LAST NIGHT IN THE BITTERSWEET) [Intro] G C G C G C G C G [Verse 1]
          C          G            C
I am your writer who bleeds indecision

     G
Your lover, your waiter, your saddest addition

     Am
Your fighter, your taker, your old patience breaker

     C                       D
Your mover, your shaker, the one who can make you

            G            C              G            C
Feel like a giant in the morning and so little by noon

             G
First you're drowning in sunrise then you're froze on moon

    Am
Oh, baby I'll promise, that I'll never change

           C                         D
Hell, I'll tell you I will, but I'll still stay the same
[Verse 2]
         Am
And I'll pray to the angels that you'll see the signs

            C
And they'll glow like a warning and shine through the wine

            G
And they'll scream through the ecstasy, and howl through the snow

         D
And I'll hand you my ganja, and off I will go

         G         C              G          C
And then I'll be a memory of your dodgy decisions

     G
Your ex, your old sex, your old weathered tradition

           Am
And you'll no longer kiss me, or hate me, or miss me

   C                     D
Or have to defend me, or teach me, or wrest me

    G         C            G          C
The one who reminds you of stark imperfection

    G
And how when you want to you can change direction

   Am
Oh baby, when I call you, saying that I've changed

C                                D
Don't believe a word 'cause I'll still be the same
[Verse 3]
         Am
And I'll pray to the angels and I'll beg them to hear me

       C
That despite how I'd like it, that you won't come near me

         G
And I'll dream of the ecstasy I used to feel

         D
From the startling surprise, to the sweet slow reveal

        Am
And how I understand you, now that I've lost you

    C
And I wanna thank you, for all that its cost you

    D
For being the most beautiful part of my life

        Am
And for holding me close, and wiping my cheek

    C
And slapping me up, when I get too weak

        G
And for touching my skin, and biting my lip

    D
And spitting me out, and breathing me in

    Am                                    C
And telling me that everything's gonna be alright

         D
So now I guess that it ends, baby

D
So good luck

                   G    C G  N.C.
Thank you, and goodnight
[Outro] Am D Em
 Am  D Em
Ooh, ooh

 Am  D  G C G C G
Ooh, ooh
