You Were Right - Badly Drawn Boy

        D   A                  Em                           G                              Em              
   G
And you, were right to bide your time and not buy into my misery,
                     Em                                       G
Well the good things are never free
                    Em                      G                            A
Do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone?

          D   A            Em                           G                 Em               G   etc....... 
pattern for all verses
And I, was rushing round in circles for a reason to believe,
Wipe the slime from off your sleeve
You could follow me for weeks and I'm not going anywhere

Em                          G                         A          G             D                           
   A
Sometimes it's hard to love someone, till the day that they are done

And I,  just had a dream the other night,
I was married to the Queen
And Madonna lived next door, I think she took a shine to me.
And the kids were all grown up, but I had to turn her down
Cause I was still in love with you


Em                              G              A
I'm turning the darkner down
G                         D                     A
I'm calling it my best move
Em                              G                  A
I'll get a ticket to what you need---------------> same pattern for all chorus'

I, remember doing nothing on the night Sinatra died
And the night Geoff Buckley died
And the night Kurt Cobain died
And the night John Lennon died
I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone

And that was  a lot of nights
And that was a lot of lads
Who lost a ticket to what they need

And I, was busy finding answers while you just got with real life,
Always hoped you'd be my wife,
But I never found the time for the question to arrive,
I just disguised it in a song

And so, and never quite the answer
Just a soundtrack to a life, that is over all too soon
Helps to turn the days to night  while I was wrong and you were right

And this was a lesson learned,
I'm happy to be your fool,
And get you tickets to what you need

(Break - whistle if you want)

I'm turning the lights down low
I'm ready to make my move
I'll get you tickets to what you need

The chords may be the wrong key and some of the lyrics are a little sketchy
but it's a start.
