I'm playing the Intro/Verse 1/Pre-Chorus/Verse 2 p.m.

Intro/Chorus

       B minorBm       G+G
Just give me one fine day of plain sailing weather
  D MajorD            A augmentedA
And I can fuck up anything, anything.
     B minorBm         G+G
It was a wonderful life when we were together,
  D MajorD                    A augmentedA
And now I've fucked up every little goddamn thing.

Verse 1

    B minorBm     G+G             D MajorD   A augmentedA
Amelie lied to me,  this was supposed to be easy.
      B minorBm         G+G             D MajorD   A augmentedA
I found the one damn person to help me fall asleep in the night.
         B minorBm   G+G            D MajorD   A augmentedA
But sleeping gets tiring,  and dark reminds me of dying,
    B minorBm         G+G
And as long as this feeble heart is still beating,
     G+G                            A augmentedA
You will find me rushing through every room, switching on all the lights.


Pre-Chorus

  F#F#           B minorBm
The problem with falling in love in latenight bars
         G+G
Is that there's always more nights, there's always more bars.
  F#F#            B minorBm
The problem with showing your lover your scars
    G+G
Is that everybody's lover is covered in scars.


Chorus

       B minorBm       G+G
Just give me one fine day of plain sailing weather
  D MajorD            A augmentedA
And I can fuck up anything, anything.
     B minorBm         G+G
It was a wonderful life when we were together,
  D MajorD
And now I've fucked up every

Verse 2
      B minorBm    G+G      D MajorD     A augmentedA
Things got fractious, and I felt faithless,
    B minorBm           G+G             D MajorD   A augmentedA
At that moment just before the dawn when everything falls apart.
         B minorBm   G+G          D MajorD     A augmentedA
But baby I didn't mean it, for things to get desperate.
   B minorBm         G+G
I let slip my guard, let go of the rudder,
     D MajorD
Now we're drifting in the current away from one another.


Chorus

       B minorBm       G+G
Just give me one fine day of plain sailing weather
  D MajorD            A augmentedA
And I can fuck up anything, anything.
     B minorBm         G+G
It was a wonderful life when we were together,
  D MajorD         A augmentedA
And now I've fucked up every thing.
    B minorBm       G+G
Give me one fine day of plain sailing weather
  D MajorD            A augmentedA
And I can fuck up anything, anything.
     B minorBm         G+G
It was a wonderful life when we were together,
  D MajorD                    A augmentedA
And now I've fucked up every little goddamn thing.


Bridge
           G+G
every little goddamn thing
           A augmentedA
every little goddamn thing
           G+G    B minorBm (let ring)
every little goddamn thing
               D MajorD
I've been skirting round the rim of doing something
G+G          F# minorF#m            B minorBm
Brave, and not just standing, but jumping in,
            D MajorD
Of making circles into squares, of laying down
  G+G         F# minorF#m          B minorBm
The bare facts like a burden I can't bear.
             D MajorD            G+G
And I can almost find the words, but I can see the way you'd

(this part I couldn't figure out...)

Fold your hands, speak my name like a curse
Upon your pretty lips, the pressured white behind your fingertips.

Outro

And when you see me for all that I am
I couldn't make mistakes to make a difference any more.
I'd throw myself down on my knees, at your hands,
And beg you for forgiveness for my fuckups and my faults.
And maybe you'd relent and return my hope for our forever,
Lift up your precious hands, and then bring yours and mine together,
So just give me one fine day of plain sailing weather.
