For the last line of the pre-chorus, check the chords guide above on how to play G1, A2, C3. These chords are exactly how Ed plays it live. And it sounds awesome because it kind of builds up the chorus. 🙂
[Verse I]
G
I wanna be drunk when I wake up
G F#/D Em7
On the right side of the wrong bed
And never an excuse I made up
Em7
Tell you the truth I hate What
Cadd9
didn't kill me
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G F#/D
It never made me stronger at all...................
G
Love will scar your make-up, lip sticks to me
F#/D Em7
So now I maybe lean back there
Em7 Cadd9
I'm sat here wishing I was sober
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G F#/D
I know I'll never hold you like I used to......................
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9
But a house gets cold when you cut the heating
G Dsus4
Without you to hold I'll be freezing
Em7 Cadd9
Can't rely on my heart to beat in
G Dsus4
'Cause you take parts of it every evening
Em7 Cadd9
Take words out of my mouth just from breathing
G Dsus4 G1
Replace with phrases like when you're leaving me.
A2 C3
Should I, should I?
[Chorus]
Em G
Maybe I'll get drunk again
Em G
I'll be drunk again
Em G
I'll be drunk again
Cadd9 Dsus4
To feel a little love.........
[Verse II]
G
I wanna hold your heart in both hands
G F#/D Em7
Not watch it fizzle at the bottom of a Coke can
And I got no plans for the weekend
Em7
So should we speak then
Keep it between friends
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G F#/D
Though I know you'll never love me like you used to......................
G
There may be other people like us
G F#/D
Who see the flicker of the clipper when they light up
Em7 Cadd9
Flames just create us but burns don't heal like before
G Cadd9 G F#/D
And you don't hold me anymore...................
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7 Cadd9
On cold days cold plays out like the band's name
G Dsus4
I know I can't heal things with a hand shake
Em7 Cadd9
You know I can't change as I began saying
G Dsus4
You cut me wide open like landscape
Em7 Cadd9
Open bottles of beer but never champagne
G Dsus4 G1
To applaud you with the sound that my hands make.
A2 C3
Should I, should I?
[Chorus]
Em G
Maybe I'll get drunk again
Em G
I'll be drunk again
Em G
I'll be drunk again
Cadd9 Dsus4
To feel a little love.........
[Bridge]
Em G
All by myself
I'm here again
Em G
All by myself
You know I'll never change
Em G
All by myself
Cadd9 Em
All by myself
Em G
I'm just drunk again
Em G
I'll be drunk again
Em G
I'll be drunk again
Cadd9 Dsus4
To feel a little love.........
