Good Wife by Mika
Good Wife
*no capo*
B E (rapid succession, the pause, also applies to the next two)
B E
He comes on over,
B E
wants to drown his sorrows on the,
two-seat sofa
and some whiskey in a bottle.
Dbm
Broken tears with
A E
the weight of the world on his shoulders.
E
Oh my god Sam,
what's happened to your senses?
Why she's just left with his 2-year-old daughter.
Dbm A
To live to Acapulco with some idiot
B
she met a couple months ago.
I wish I could tell you that...
F#m B
If it was me I would be a good wife.
E
I would never doubt you,
Dbm
ours would be a good life.
F#m B
We could be better than so many.
E
I would never stress you
A B
about bringing home the plenty.
E
For all these things another life we'll
Dbm
have to wait.
Our life could be perfect if only God
F#m
had wanted it.
But you'll never know it.
We'll get old.
E
Let's not talk about it,
B
rest your head upon my shoulder.
E
You'll never know
You'll never know
You'll never know the good life
Dbm A
You'll never know the good life
E
You'll never know the good life
E
Somebody once told me that
there are watchers and
there are do'ers in this world.
Guess I'm a watcher,
not by choice,
Dbm
it's just what I was told.
We're just two friends,
A B
it's not a risky situation.
I wish I could tell you that...
F#m B
If it was me I would be a good wife.
E
I would never doubt you,
Dbm
ours would be a good life.
F#m B
We could be better than so many.
E
I would never stress you
A B
about bringing home the plenty.
E
For all these things another life we'll
Dbm
have to wait.
Our life could be perfect if only God
F#m
had wanted it.
But you'll never know it.
We'll get old.
E
Let's not talk about it,
B
rest your head upon my shoulder.
E
You'll never know
You'll never know
You'll never know the good life
Dbm A
You'll never know the good life
E
You'll never know the good life
F#m
Rest your head upon my shoulder,
B
(I'm so tired to conceal)
E
now that life's a little colder.
Dbm
(I could love you simply)
F#m
Even if you'll never know,
B
(Wouldn't leave if it was me)
E A E
my love will never run away like the sunshine
A B
return only with just the good times.
E
For all these things another life we'll
Ebm Dbm
have to wait.
Our life could be perfect if only God
F# F#m
had wanted it.
But you'll never know it.
We'll get old.
E
Let's not talk about it,
B
rest your head upon my shoulder.
E
You'll never know
You'll never know
You'll never know the good life
F#m Dbm
You'll never know the good life
A E
You'll never know the good life
