"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

  Gm             Gm/F#         Gm/F     C/E

--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             Bb            C     C/D  C/E  C/F  C/G

--------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                        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

 That come the morning light,   might well have washed your mind of him

      Bb        Dm           Dmsus4   Dm        Am                  F
