"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-------------1-----1----1----1----1--
--------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-----------------

  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

--------------------------3-----1---------------------------

 And if we go home tonight,      you might find the very thing

              Dm        Dmsus4   Dm           Am            Dm

--------------7---------7--------7------------5-------------7--
--------------7---------7--------7------------7-------------7--

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

      Bb        Dm           Dmsus4   Dm        Am                  F
