Paul Heaton - Mitch Chords

[Intro]
 
B  E x 4
 
[Verse 1]
B               E             B           E
How can I turn this red cross back into a tick?
B                     E               B          E
Like how come I turned good looks into frail and sick?
D              A                     D               A
Not only did I blind the blind, but I also took their stick
B                      E                    B       E
Crippled myself with a baseball bat and a brick
 
 
[Chorus]
A                                                 E7
Most other men like to whine about the seven year itch
A                                              E7
They're the same men who call you a liar and b**ch
    A                          B                      E      C#m
But you're the reason I'm still here and not facing a ditch, Mitch
    A                         B                    E
And they're a lot poorer than me, I'm incredibly rich
 
[Bridge]
B E x 2
 
[Verse 2]
B                  E               B                E
Until I watch them lower my coffin deep down in the grave
B                 E                B        E
Until I hear the digging sound of soil and spade
   D                 A             D        A
There doesn't seem a single person able to persuade
B                   E                     B     E
This self-indulgent idiot's the easiest laid
 
[Chorus]
A                                                 E7
Most other men like to whine about the seven year itch
A                                              E7
They're the same men who call you a liar and b**ch
    A                          B                      E      C#m
But you're the reason I'm still here and not facing a ditch, Mitch
    A                         B                    E
And they're a lot poorer than me, I'm incredibly rich
 
[Bridge]
                    F#m     B              E
If there's a way to pay you back before I die
           F#m                     B        E
If there's one little prayer I can answer, I'll try
F#m                  B            E          C#m
Write these words in cloud on the bluest of skies
    A                      B                      E
The best pair of ears to a man who just wanted to cry
    A                      B                      E
The best pair of ears to a man who just wanted to cry
 
[Bridge]
B E x4
 
[Verse 3]
B               E            B                E
How did I screw up and throw such a beautiful chance?
B                 E          B              E
Turned down every women that asked me up to dance
    D                 A            D            A
Yes, stab me with the truth; use a sword, use a lance
    B                     E                  B      E
I'd still think two steps back is the way to advance
 
 
[Chorus 1]
A                                                 E7
Most other men like to whine about the seven year itch
A                                              E7
They're the same men who call you a liar and b**ch
    A                          B                      E      C#m
But you're the reason I'm still here and not facing a ditch, Mitch
    A                         B                    E
And they're a lot poorer than me, I'm incredibly rich
 
 
[Chorus 2]
                    F#m     B              E
If there's a way to pay you back before I die
           F#m                     B        E
If there's one little prayer I can answer, I'll try
F#m                  B            E          C#m
Write these words in cloud on the bluest of skies
    A                      B                      E
The best pair of ears to a man who just wanted to cry
    A                      B                      E
The best pair of ears to a man who just wanted to cry
