I couldn't find chords for this cover anywhere so I thought what the hell. I personally prefer
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
G#Thursday night and C#everything's fine
G#Except you've got that C#look in your eye
When you're G#telling a story and C#you find it boring
You're D#thinking of something to C#say
You'll go along with it then drop it
And humiliate me, in front of our friends
Then I'll use that voice that you find annoying
And say something like,
"Yes intelligent input darling. Why don't you have another glass of wine?"
Then you'll call me a --
And everyone we're with will be embarrassed
And I won't give a sh...
CHORUS:
My Fmfingertips are holding onto
The D#cracks in our foundation
And I Fmknow that I should D#let go, but I C#can't
And Fmevery time we D#fight I know it's not C#right
Every time you get D#upset and I Fmsmile
I know I should D#forget, but I C#can't
'Cause I am so bitter
'Cause they all much fitter"
And I must admit, I was a bit scared
CHORUS:
The cracks in our foundation
And every time we fight I know it's not right
I know I should forget, but I can't
What a surprise, I can't look at your face
I only got these yesterday
CHORUS:
The cracks in our foundation
And every time we fight I know it's not right
I know I should forget, but I can't
And I try to play with Lego, but I can't
Every time you get upset and I smile
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rest of the chords for the verse and chorus are the same so I didn't put them in. Strumming's
a bit tricky though. Listen to the recording and try playing along with it. It sounds awesome with
bongos. I'm not sure if he uses a capo ornot. This is the no-capo version. Comments/corrections
are appreciated.
