Cm     Fm
Yeah, yeah...

Dm          G7
If I didn't have you
Cm Fm Dm G7 [Verse 1]
       Cm                Fm       Dm7
If I didn't have you to hold me tight
G7
       Cm                Fm          Dm7
If I didn't have you to lie with at night
G7
       Cm                      Fm
If I didn't have you to share my sighs

        Dm                  G
And to kiss me and dry my tears when I cry
[Chorus]
     Ab
Well I

                     Bb
Really think that I would
Have somebody else Cm Fm Dm G7
      Cm
If I didn't have you

Fm                 G    G7
Someone else would do
[Verse 2]
Cm            Fm          G
Your love is one in a million

              Cm            Fm
You couldn't buy it at any price
Dm G7
            Cm                                  Fm
But of the nine-point-nine-nine-nine-hundred-thousand other possible loves

 Dm                                   G7
Statistically, some of them would be equally nice

    Ab                           Bb
Or maybe not as nice but, say, smarter than you

     Ab                               Bb
Or dumber but better at sport or... fucking... tracing?
[Chorus]
           Ab
I'm just saying
I really think that I would
Bb
Probably
Have somebody else Cm Fm Dm G7
       Cm               Fm              G    G7
If I didn't have you someone else would do
[Verse 3]
Cm                  Fm
If I were a rich man

                       Dm                         G7
Fiddle diddle diddle diddle diddle diddle diddle dee

   Cm                       Fm
I guess I would be with a surgeon or a model

       Dm                         G7
Or a rellie of the royals or a Kennedy

      Cm                   Fm
Or a nymphomaniacal exhibitionist heiress

Dm                    G7
To a large chain of hotels

Cm                     Fm
If I were a rich man, maybe I would fiddle

 Dm                            G7        Cm
Fiddle diddle diddle with the rich man girls
[Bridge 1]
Cm                           Fm
I'm not saying that I'd not love you

   Dm                   G7
If I was wealthy or handsome

             Cm                             Fm
But realistically, there's lots of fish in the sea

         Dm                               G7
And if I had a different rod, I would conceivably land some

Cm                                        Fm
Even though I am fiscally consistently pitiable

                                                G
And considerably less 'Brad Pitt' than 'Brad pitiful'
Am I really so poor and ugly that you think
                         Ab
Only you could possibly love me?
[Chorus] And I Really think that I would
Bb
Probably
Have somebody else Cm Fm Dm G7
      Cm                Fm              Dm    G7
If I didn't have you someone else would do
[Bridge 2]
          Cm                           Fm
Look, I'm not undervaluing what we've got when I say

                 Dm           G7
That, given the role chaos inevitably plays

         Cm                Fm
In the inherently flawed notion of fate

        Dm                       G7
It's abstruse to deduce that I found my soulmate

              Cm
At the age of 17

                Fm                                         Dm
It's just mathematically unlikely that at a university in Perth

                              G7
I happened to stumble on the one girl on Earth

                          Cm
Specifically designed for me

                                     Fm
And if I may conjecture a further objection

                                        G
Love is nothing to do with destined perfection

         G7
The connection is strengthened

                                 Ab
The affection simply grows over time

        Ab
Like a flower

        Bb
Or a mushroom
Or a guinea pig
      Ab
Or a vine
Or a sponge Or bigotry
Bb
...or a banana

     Ab
And love is made more powerful

               Bb
By the ongoing drama of shared experience

          Ab                             Bb
And the synergy of a kind of symbiotic empathy, or something
[Verse 4]
      Cm                        Fm
So I trust it would go without saying

              Dm               G7
That I would feel really very sad

      Cm                             Fm
If tomorrow you were to fall off something high

    Dm              G7
Or catch something bad

               Ab
But I'm just saying

                         Bb
I don't think you're special

                          Ab
I mean, I think you're special

                             Bb
But, you fall within a bell curve
[Chorus]
                   Ab
I mean, I'm just saying I
Really think that I would
Bb
Probably
Have somebody else [Bridge 3]
Cm               Fm         G
I think you are unique and beautiful

             Cm            Fm     G
You make me happy just by being around

        Cm                 Fm
But objectively you would have to agree

      Dm           G
That baby when I found you

   Dm                     G7
Options were relatively thin on the ground

         Ab                                Bb
You're lovely but there must be girls as lovely as you

     Ab                   Bb                Ab
Or maybe more open to spanking, or table tennis...
[Chorus] I really think that I would
Bb
Probably
Have somebody else [Bridge 4]
Cm                           Fm                   G
I mean I reckon it's pretty likely that if for example

               G7
My first girlfriend, Jackie, hadn't dumped me

Cm               Fm                      G
After I kissed Winston's ex-girlfriend Neah

            G7
At Steph's party back in 1993

Cm                      Fm                  G
Enough variables would probably have been altered

          G7
By the absence of that event

Cm        Fm        G
To have meant the advent

                    G7
Of a tangential narrative in which we don't meet

            Cm                    Fm
Which is to say there exists a theoretical

     Dm           G     G7
Hypothetical parallel life

       Cm                  Fm
Where what is is not as it is

                    Dm                        G7
And I am not your husband and you are not my wife

             Cm               Fm
And I am a stuntman living in LA

              Dm                      G7
Married to a small blonde Portuguese skier

                     Cm
Who when she's not training

                   Fm
Does abstract painting

  Dm
Practises yoga

     G7
And brews her own beer

       Cm                      Fm
And really likes making home movies

       Dm                G7
And suffers neck down alopecia
[Outro]
          Ab
But with all my heart and all my mind

   Bb
I know one thing is true

        Ab
I have just one life and just one love

        Bb
And my love, that love is you

           Fm         Gm
And if it wasn't for you

          Ab
Darling, you
I really think that I would
Bb
Possibly
Have somebody else Cm Fm Dm G7
       Cm              Fm
If I didn't have you, do do do do

         Dm               G7
Someone else would surely do
