"Might As Well Be You" by Del Amitri
Transcription by Dave Shapiro (dshapir@future.uswc.uswest.com)


    There is nobody here tonight

  F (133211@1)          Ebmaj7 (x43111@3)  Dm (xx0231@1)-------------------------5----------------------------------|
--6------------8---------6----------------------------------|
--5------------7---------7----------------------------------|
--7------------8---------7----------------------------------|
--8------------6---------5----------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------|


    Who doesn't dance to the same tune as I

  Am (x02210@1)          Ebmaj7 (x43111@3)     Dm (xx0231@1)--5--------------------------5------------------------------|
--5-------------8------------6------------------------------|
--5-------------7------------7------------------------------|
--7-------------8------------7------------------------------|
--7-------------6------------5------------------------------|
--5---------------------------------------------------------|


    I'm lookin' for someone to hold on to

  Gm (355333@1)           Gm/F#         Gm/F     C/E (x3111x@5)--3--------------3-------------3--------0-------------------|
--3--------------3-------------3--------1-------------------|
--3--------------3-------------3--------0-------------------|
--5--------------4-------------3--------2-------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------|


    And hey, babe, it might as well be you

        A (x02220@1)           Bb (x1333x@1)          C (x32010@1)   C/D (x5555x@1)C/E (x3111x@5)C/F (x4111x@5)C/G (3x555x@1)--------0-------------1-------------0-----0----0----0----3--|

--------2-------------3-------------0-----0----0----0----0--|
--------2-------------3-------------------0----2----3-------|
--------0-------------1-------------3-----------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------|


After the second time through this, it doesn't do the C/D C/E C/F C/G
thing. It just ends on an F and goes to the chorus:

  It might as well be you that I wake up to tomorrow

                   Bb5 (x133xx@1)                      F5 (133xxx@1)------------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------|
-------------------3----------------------------------------|
-------------------3--------------------------3-------------|
-------------------1--------------------------3-------------|
----------------------------------------------1-------------|


  And it might as well be you that tonight

                       Bb (x1333x@1)------------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------|
-----------------------3------------------------------------|
-----------------------3------------------------------------|
-----------------------1------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------|


  whispers my name         and it might as well be you

            Fmaj7sus2   C (x32010@1)       F (133211@1)     C (x32010@1)   Bb5 (x133xx@1)-------------0----------0-----------------------------------|
-------------1----------1---------6-------5-----------------|
-------------0----------0---------5-------5-----------------|
-------------3----------2---------7-------5-----3-----------|
-------------3----------3-----------------------3-----------|
------------------------------------------------1-----------|


  that I cling to, that I laugh with and sing to

         F5 (133xxx@1)             Bb5 (x133xx@1)          F5 (133xxx@1)------------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------|
--------------------------3---------------------------------|
---------3----------------3--------------3------------------|
---------3----------------1--------------3------------------|
---------1-------------------------------1------------------|


  That I kiss goodbye and never see again

         Bb5 (x133xx@1)            Gm (355333@1)  Bb (x1333x@1)     F5 (133xxx@1)--------------------------3-----1---------------------------|

Do the verse and chorus, then we hit the bridge:

 And if we go home tonight,      you might find the very thing
