Goodnight Chords

(ver. 2)
Babybird
-Thought it was an utter shame that I couldn't find any chords (or tabs!) for this song; 
it's totally beautiful and one of the best songs on Ugly Beautiful :/
So this is my acoustic interpretation of the chord-ing... if that's a word...

G           C
  I hold you closely,
D               C
  You push me away.
G           C
  I want forever,
            D      C
  You just want today.

G               C
  Give me your fingers,
D              C
  Wash out your mouth.
G             C
  Bite off my tongue
            D        C
  On this bloody couch.

G              C
  But I don't blame you.
D               C
  You're always right.
G             C
  I'm like a bad day
           D            C
  On your good, good night.

(Here's the instrumental. If acoustic-ing it up on guitar, it's pretty much the same as 
it's always been. I suggest singing the last four lines again in your head whilst 
playing the G C D C G C D C )

G                      C
  I hear the tick of a bomb-ah,
D                    C
  All you hair in a fuse.
G               C
  You asked me for a light
      D               C
  To blow away these blues.

G          C
  Run me a bath,
D              C
  Then plug me in.
G            C
  I'm like a T.V.
D              C
  Learning to swim.

G              C
  But I don't blame you.
D               C
  You're always right.
G             C
  I'm like a bad day
           D            C
  On your good, good night.


(Another instrumental, with a few 'Mm-mh's over the top. This one goes G C G C G C G C D 
C )

(This bit is spoken)
  I hold you closely.
  You push me away.
  I want forever,
  You just want today.

G               C
  Give me your fingers,
D              C
  Wash out your mouth.
G             C
  Bite off my tongue
            D        C
  On this bloody couch.

G              C
  But I don't blame you.
D               C
  You're always right.
G             C
  I'm like a bad day
           D            C
  On your good, good night.

G              C
  But I don't blame you.
D               C
  You're always right.
G             C
  I'm like a bad day
           D            C         G
  On your good, good, good, good night.
