"Might As Well Be You" by Del Amitri
Transcription by Dave Shapiro (dshapir@future.uswc.uswest.com)
There is nobody here tonight
F Ebmaj7 Dm
-------------------------5----------------------------------|--6------------8---------6----------------------------------|--5------------7---------7----------------------------------|--7------------8---------7----------------------------------|--8------------6---------5----------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------|
Who doesn't dance to the same tune as I
Am Ebmaj7 Dm
--5--------------------------5------------------------------|--5-------------8------------6------------------------------|--5-------------7------------7------------------------------|--7-------------8------------7------------------------------|--7-------------6------------5------------------------------|--5---------------------------------------------------------|
I'm lookin' for someone to hold on to

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 F5
------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------3----------------------------------------|-------------------3--------------------------3-------------|-------------------1--------------------------3-------------|----------------------------------------------1-------------|
And it might as well be you that tonight
Bb
------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------3------------------------------------|-----------------------3------------------------------------|-----------------------1------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------|
whispers my name and it might as well be you
Fmaj7sus2 C F C Bb5
-------------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 Bb5 F5
------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------3---------------------------------|---------3----------------3--------------3------------------|---------3----------------1--------------3------------------|---------1-------------------------------1------------------|
That I kiss goodbye and never see again
Bb5 Gm Bb F5

Do the verse and chorus, then we hit the bridge:
And if we go home tonight, you might find the very thing
Dm Dmsus4 Dm Am Dm
--------------5------------------5------------5-------------5--|--------------6---------8--------6------------5-------------6--|--------------7---------7--------7------------5-------------7--|--------------7---------7--------7------------7-------------7--|--------------5---------5--------5------------7-------------5--|----------------------------------------------5----------------|
That come the morning light, might well have washed your mind of him
Bb Dm Dmsus4 Dm Am F
