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

ADVANCED INSTRUCTIONS

In their recording, Nataly Dawn plays the bass line (I have notated the bass note

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

of notes over Nataly's bass line.

Here are the notes of each triad or partial triad that Jack plays for each chord.
