Didnt Have You Chords

(ver. 1)
Tim Minchin
[Intro]
Cm     Fm
Yeah, yeah...
Dm          G7
If I didn't have you
 
Cm Fm Dm G7
 
[Verse 1]
       Cm                Fm       Dm7
If I didn't have you to hold me tight
       G7
       Cm                Fm          Dm7
If I didn't have you to lie with at night
       G7
       Cm                      Fm
If I didn't have you to share my sighs
        Dm                  G
And to kiss me and dry my tears when I cry
 
[Chorus]
     Ab
Well I
                     Bb
Really think that I would
 
Have somebody else
 
Cm Fm Dm G7
 
      Cm
If I didn't have you
Fm                 G    G7
Someone else would do
 
[Verse 2]
Cm            Fm          G
Your love is one in a million
 
              Cm            Fm
You couldn't buy it at any price
 Dm         G7
            Cm                                  Fm
But of the nine-point-nine-nine-nine-hundred-thousand other possible loves
 Dm                                   G7
Statistically, some of them would be equally nice
    Ab                           Bb
Or maybe not as nice but, say, smarter than you
     Ab                               Bb
Or dumber but better at sport or... f**king... tracing?
 
[Chorus]
           Ab
I'm just saying
 
I really think that I would
Bb
Probably
 
Have somebody else
 
Cm Fm Dm G7
       Cm               Fm              G    G7
If I didn't have you someone else would do
 
[Verse 3]
Cm                  Fm
If I were a rich man
                       Dm                         G7
Fiddle diddle diddle diddle diddle diddle diddle dee
   Cm                       Fm
I guess I would be with a surgeon or a model
       Dm                         G7
Or a rellie of the royals or a Kennedy
      Cm                   Fm
Or a nymphomaniacal exhibitionist heiress
Dm                    G7
To a large chain of hotels
Cm                     Fm
If I were a rich man, maybe I would fiddle
 Dm                            G7        Cm
Fiddle diddle diddle with the rich man girls
 
[Bridge 1]
Cm                           Fm
I'm not saying that I'd not love you
   Dm                   G7
If I was wealthy or handsome
             Cm                             Fm
But realistically, there's lots of fish in the sea
         Dm                               G7
And if I had a different rod, I would conceivably land some
Cm                                        Fm
Even though I am fiscally consistently pitiable
                                                G
And considerably less 'Brad Pitt' than 'Brad pitiful'
 
Am I really so poor and ugly that you think
                         Ab
Only you could possibly love me?
 
[Chorus]
 
And I Really think that I would
Bb
Probably
 
Have somebody else
 
Cm Fm Dm G7
      Cm                Fm              Dm    G7
If I didn't have you someone else would do
 
 
[Bridge 2]
          Cm                           Fm
Look, I'm not undervaluing what we've got when I say
                 Dm           G7
That, given the role chaos inevitably plays
         Cm                Fm
In the inherently flawed notion of fate
        Dm                       G7
It's abstruse to deduce that I found my soulmate
              Cm
At the age of 17
                Fm                                         Dm
It's just mathematically unlikely that at a university in Perth
                              G7
I happened to stumble on the one girl on Earth
                          Cm
Specifically designed for me
                                     Fm
And if I may conjecture a further objection
                                        G
Love is nothing to do with destined perfection
         G7
The connection is strengthened
                                 Ab
The affection simply grows over time
 
        Ab
Like a flower
        Bb
Or a mushroom
 
Or a guinea pig
      Ab
Or a vine
 
Or a sponge
 
Or bigotry
Bb
...or a banana
     Ab
And love is made more powerful
               Bb
By the ongoing drama of shared experience
          Ab                             Bb
And the synergy of a kind of symbiotic empathy, or something
 
[Verse 4]
      Cm                        Fm
So I trust it would go without saying
              Dm               G7
That I would feel really very sad
      Cm                             Fm
If tomorrow you were to fall off something high
    Dm              G7
Or catch something bad
               Ab
But I'm just saying
                         Bb
I don't think you're special
                          Ab
I mean, I think you're special
                             Bb
But, you fall within a bell curve
 
[Chorus]
                   Ab
I mean, I'm just saying I
 
Really think that I would
Bb
Probably
 
Have somebody else
 
[Bridge 3]
Cm               Fm         G
I think you are unique and beautiful
             Cm            Fm     G
You make me happy just by being around
        Cm                 Fm
But objectively you would have to agree
      Dm           G
That baby when I found you
   Dm                     G7
Options were relatively thin on the ground
         Ab                                Bb
You're lovely but there must be girls as lovely as you
     Ab                   Bb                Ab
Or maybe more open to spanking, or table tennis...
 
[Chorus]
 
I really think that I would
Bb
Probably
 
Have somebody else
 
[Bridge 4]
Cm                           Fm                   G
I mean I reckon it's pretty likely that if for example
               G7
My first girlfriend, Jackie, hadn't dumped me
Cm               Fm                      G
After I kissed Winston's ex-girlfriend Neah
            G7
At Steph's party back in 1993
Cm                      Fm                  G
Enough variables would probably have been altered
          G7
By the absence of that event
Cm        Fm        G
To have meant the advent
                    G7
Of a tangential narrative in which we don't meet
            Cm                    Fm
Which is to say there exists a theoretical
     Dm           G     G7
Hypothetical parallel life
       Cm                  Fm
Where what is is not as it is
                    Dm                        G7
And I am not your husband and you are not my wife
             Cm               Fm
And I am a stuntman living in LA
              Dm                      G7
Married to a small blonde Portuguese skier
                     Cm
Who when she's not training
                   Fm
Does abstract painting
  Dm
Practises yoga
     G7
And brews her own beer
       Cm                      Fm
And really likes making home movies
       Dm                G7
And suffers neck down alopecia
 
[Outro]
          Ab
But with all my heart and all my mind
   Bb
I know one thing is true
        Ab
I have just one life and just one love
        Bb
And my love, that love is you
           Fm         Gm
And if it wasn't for you
          Ab
Darling, you
 
I really think that I would
Bb
Possibly
 
Have somebody else
 
Cm Fm Dm G7
       Cm              Fm
If I didn't have you, do do do do
         Dm               G7
Someone else would surely do
          Cm        G7     Cm
Ba doo ba do ba ba doo oh yeah
