Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
I'll be the one who brings you coffee when you can't get up, I'll be the
Db7/CbOne who turns the light out when you go to sleep, I'll be the
One who turns your stomach into something else, and you say
Shut up, shut up, every time I say I'll be the
One who takes your coat off, one to take the blame, I'll be the
Db7/CbOne you call your lover, every now and then you'll be the
One who keeps me sober, one to keep me sane and you say
Shut up, shut up, every time I say it
Bridge 1
And I'd cut my fingers to the bone
And I'd split my sides in for you
Chorus
Tonight, we throw ourselves away
And we make it every time
When I thought I was ok
You said I was alright
As the night comes crashing down
Db7/CbWe catch ourselves a line
We're only makin' out
We're makin' out alright
Instrumental
Db7/Cb
Verse 2
I'll be the one who stands beside you in the photograph I'll be the
Db7/CbOne that's in your water when you want me there I'll be the
One you're falling over every time you laugh and you say
Shut up, shut up, every time I say I'll be the
One who keeps you guessing, who swears a lot I'll be the
Db7/CbOne that let your colour in the white wash You'll be the
One who knocks the man out I was beating up and you say
Shut up, shut up, every time I say it
Bridge 2
And you cut my face, I told you so
I'd tear my eyes out for you
Chorus
Tonight, we throw ourselves away
And we make it every time
When I thought I was ok
You said I was alright
As the night comes crashing down
Db7/CbWe catch ourselves a line
We're only makin' out
We're makin' out alright

it isn't identical to the root of the chord), and Jack Conte plays triads or other
