Wouldn't It Be Good Chords

(ver. 1)
Nik Kershaw

- Simon A's version was almost there, but a few chords were off.

Note the chord charts to show where on the neck the chords should be played
- important in the chorus to get the sound right. 
Also, you could play regular major/minor chords instead of the add4
versions, I just think they sound closer to the original.

VERSE 1

E[2] Bm[2]
     I got it bad, You don't know how bad I got it.
Bm[2]                                
You got it easy, You don't know when you got it good.
Bm[2]
It's getting harder, just keeping life and soul together.
Bm[2]                                  C[2]       G
I'm sick of fighting, even though I know I shouldn't.
G                       F#m            C#m
The cold is biting thru each and every nerve and fibre.
          C#m       E             Bm 
My broken spirit is frozen to the core.

CHORUS 1

Cadd4          Bb      Dmadd4     C 
Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes,
Cadd4      Bb       Dmadd4      C
even if it was for just one day.
Cadd4              Bb       Dmadd4        C     C[2] Dm
And wouldn't it be good, if we could wish ourselves away.

Cadd4          Bb      Dmadd4    C 
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side.
Cadd4              Bb       Dmadd4    C
The grass is always greener over there.
Cadd4          Bb       Dmadd4       C      C[2]  Dm
Wouldn't it be good, if we could live without a care.

VERSE 2 

E[2] Bm[2]
     You must be joking, You don't know a thing about it.
Bm[2]
You've got no problem, I'd stay right there if it were you.
Bm[2]
I got it harder, You couldn't dream how hard it got it.
Bm[2]                           C[2]           G
Stay out of my shoes, If you know what's good for you
G                     F#m                C#m
The heat is stifling, burning me up from me inside.
             C#m         E              Bm 
The sweat is coming thru each and every pore.

Asus4/D
     I Don't wanna be here no more.
     I Don't wanna be here no more.
     I Don't wanna be here no more.
