Just Be chords by Paloma Faith

Chords with lyrics

Transcribed from the premiere of this wonderful song on Jools Holland's Later programme
on BBC2, May 2012
That performance was accompanied by piano - no guitar -
so I hope the following represents a good arrangement for solo guitar.

Standard tuning, capo 1
All chords relative to open tuning
i.e. for Asus2Asus2 play x02200 which is in fact A#sus2A#sus2

------

Asus2Asus2  x02200
Bsus4Bsus4  x24400

-------

Asus2Asus2   E MajorE   C# minorC#m   Bsus4Bsus4
Let's get old to-gether
Asus2Asus2    E MajorE     Bsus4Bsus4 B/Ab
Let's be un-happy for-ever
      Asus2Asus2     E MajorE      Bsus4Bsus4  C# minorC#m
Cos there's no-one else in this world
   Asus2Asus2   E MajorE     Bsus4Bsus4  B/Ab
That I'd rather be unhappy with


Verse 2

Asus2Asus2    E MajorE        C# minorC#m   Bsus4Bsus4
Let's be ex-posed and unpro-tected
Asus2Asus2      E MajorE         Bsus4Bsus4  B/Ab
Let's see one a-nother when we're weak
Asus2Asus2    E MajorE          Bsus4Bsus4     C# minorC#m
Let's go our separate ways in the night like to Mars
  Asus2Asus2      E MajorE       Bsus4Bsus4
But know that you're flying home to me

------------

/Ab  Asus2Asus2         E MajorE
I was born thinking it would all be dreaming
   C# minorC#m           Bsus4Bsus4
But I know that I wouldn't be happy that way
  Asus2Asus2              E MajorE
You wear me out with frustration and heartache and anger
    F#F#            Asus2Asus2   /C
But we wait for the wave just to wash it a-way

Let us un-fold one an-other
  Asus2Asus2     E MajorE         Bsus4Bsus4      C# minorC#m
And watch all the little things that once drew me to you
Asus2Asus2   E MajorE     Bsus4Bsus4
Eventually get on my nerves

 Asus2Asus2               E MajorE
I wear you out with frustration and heartache and anger
    F#F#            Asus2Asus2   /C
But we wait for the wave just to wash it a-way
