Adele - Right as Rain
(tabbed by katesmeow)

NOTE: I've tabbed this for a guitar tuned down one half step! Or you can
just play as-is and you'll be a little higher than the original. =)

Basically the chords alternate between Am7 and Gmaj7, with D in the
pre-chorus (I think) and a nice progression in the bridge (it doesn't just
alternate there like in the verses). It was hard to match up the chords to
the strum pattern with this site's editor, so listen to the song to figure
that out - or just strum however you want.

Intro:
Am7  Gmaj7  (x2)

Verse 1:
         Am7 (x02010@1)            Gmaj7Who (xx5432@1)wants to be right as rain
         Am7 (x02010@1)            Gmaj7It's (xx5432@1)better when something is wrong
         Am7 (x02010@1)            Gmaj7You (xx5432@1)get excitement in your bones
         Am7 (x02010@1)            Gmaj7And (xx5432@1)everything you do's a game
         Am7 (x02010@1)            Gmaj7When (xx5432@1)night comes and you're on your own
         Am7 (x02010@1)            Gmaj7You (xx5432@1)can say "I chose to be alone"
         Am7 (x02010@1)            Gmaj7Who (xx5432@1)wants to be right as rain
         Am7 (x02010@1)            Gmaj7It's (xx5432@1)harder when you're on top

Prechorus:
            D'Cause (xx0232@1)when hard work don't pay off and I'm tired, there ain't...

Chorus:
   Am7 (x02010@1)                      Gmaj7No (xx5432@1)room in my bed, as far as I'm concerned
   Am7 (x02010@1)                      Gmaj7So (xx5432@1)wipe that dirty smile off, we
   Am7 (x02010@1)                      Gmaj7Won't (xx5432@1)be making up, I've cried my heart out
   Am7 (x02010@1)         Gmaj7 (xx5432@1)G7 (320001@1)Am7And (x02010@1)now I've had enough of love

Verse 2:
Who wants to be riding high
When you just crumble back on down
You give up everything you are
And even then you don't get far
They make believe that everything
Is exactly what it seems
But at least when you're at your worst
You know how to feel things

Prechorus:
See when hard work don't pay off and I'm tired, there ain't

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Am7 (x02010@1)                          Gmaj7Go (xx5432@1)ahead and steal my heart to make me cry again
G (320003@1)                          G#dim(or (1201xx@1)Bm6)
'Cause it will never hurt as much as it did then, and
Am7 (x02010@1)                  DWe (xx0232@1)were both right and no one had blame
Em (022000@1)                      Gmaj7 (xx5432@1) G7But (320001@1)now I give up on this endless game

Verse 3:
'Cause who wants to be right as rain
It's better when something is wrong
I get excitement in my bones
Even though everything's a strain
When night comes and I'm on my own
You should know I chose to be alone
Who wants to be right as rain
It's harder when you're on top

Prechorus:
'Cause when hard work don't pay off and I'm tired there ain't

(Chorusx2)

Outtro:
(repeat Am7, Gmaj7)
whoa-oa, yeah...
