You Were Right chords by Badly Drawn Boy

Chords with lyrics

Song: You were right
Artist: Badly Drawn Boy
Album: Have you fed the fish

This song connects very nicely with the song before it on the album ("I
was Wrong"). It's worth learning them both and playing them both together.
Comments/suggestions welcome, especially the bit after "And you" - it
sounds right on the keyboard but I still feel suspect about it.

Note: I'm a keyboard player, so consider yourself cautioned :-)

And you

Were right ...     time

And not buy into my misery

Was rushing ...   circles

F# minorF#m  G+G      D MajorD
For a reason to believe

     G+G          F# minorF#m
Wipe the slime...      sleeve

     E minorEm      F# minorF#m
You could follow...   weeks

...     going an--y-where

 Till the day ...      gone

  D MajorD (D MajorD D/F#D/F# D MajorD A augmentedA)
And I

   D MajorD        B minorBm  F# minorF#m
Just had ...     other night

I was married ...  Queen

and Madonna ...    door

      B minorBm       A augmentedA
...     took ...    me

    G+G          F# minorF#m
And the kids...       up

   E minorEm       F# minorF#m
But I had...     down

     G+G    F# minorF#m D MajorD  A augmentedA  A7A7
...    still in love with you

I

 D MajorD      B minorBm   F# minorF#m  G+G       D MajorD
Remember    nothing on the night ..   died

    G+G         F# minorF#m
And the night..      died

...     news with eve-ryone

  G+G     F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA    A7A7
... that ...  lot of nights

  G+G     F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA   A7A7
... that ...  lot of lives

      G+G     F# minorF#m D MajorD  A augmentedA   A7A7
...    ticket to what they need


The rest of the song is basically the same for each verse. It ends:

       G+G     F# minorF#m D MajorD  A augmentedA  A7A7  D MajorD
