Chords for Tim Minchin | "If I Didn't Have You" | w/ Lyrics

_ _ _ _ It's called If I Didn't Have You.
_ [Fm] Yeah, [D]
[G] yeah, if I didn't have [Cm] you.
[Fm] _ [G] Yeah.
_ [Cm] If I [Fm] didn't have you to hold [D] me tight.
[Cm] If I [Fm] didn't have you to lie with [G] at night.
[Cm] If I didn't have you to share my sighs.
[D] And to miss me and [G] cry my tears.
When I cry [Ab] you lie.
I really think that [Bb] I would have somebody [Cm] else.
[Fm] _ _ [G] _
If I didn't have [Cm] you.
If I [Fm] didn't have you someone [G] else would do.
_ [Cm] [Fm] Your love is one [D] in a million.
You [Cm] couldn't [Fm] buy it at any [D] price.
But [Cm] of the 9 _ [Fm]
.999900000 other possible [G] loves.
Statistically some of them would be equally nice.
[Ab] Or maybe not as nice [Bb] but say smarter than you.
Or [Ab] dumber but better at [Bb] sports.
Or fucking [Ab] tracing.
I'm just saying I [Bb]
probably have somebody [Cm] else.
_ _ [G] _
[Abm] _ [Cm] If I didn't have you someone [D] else would do.
If [F] I were a rich man.
[Bb] Diddle diddle diddle diddle diddle diddle diddle [C] me.
I [F] guess I would be with a surgeon or [D] a model or a [G] rally of the royals or a Kennedy.
[C] Or an infamoniacal exhibitionist [D] heiress to a large chain of [C] hotels.
If I were a rich [D] man maybe I would fiddle.
[G] Fiddle diddle diddle with the rich man [C] girls.
I'm not saying that I'd not [D] love you if I was wealthy or handsome.
[Cm] But realistically [F] there's lots of fish in the sea.
[D] And if I [G] had a different rod I would conceivably [Cm] land some.
Even though I am fiscally consistently pitiable.
And considerably [D] less Brad Pitt than Brad [G] Pitiful.
Am I really so poor and ugly that you think only [Ab] you could possibly love me and I?
I'm just saying [Bb] I probably have somebody [Cm] else.
[Fm] _ _ [D] _
_ [Cm] If I [Fm] didn't have you someone [D] else would do.
[Cm] I'm [F] not undervaluing what we've got when [D] I say that [F] given the role chaos inevitably plays.
And the inherently flawed notion of [D] fate it's abstruse to deduce I found my [Cm] soul mate at the age of 17.
[Bb] It's just [G] mathematically unlikely that at a [C] university [D] in Perth.
I happened to stumble on the one girl on earth specifically [Cm] designed for me.
And if I make [Fm] injection or further objection love has nothing to do [Dm] with destined [Ab] perfection.
The connection is [G] strengthened.
The affection simply grows over time.
Like a flower [Eb] or a mushroom [Bb] or a guinea pig or a [Ab] vine or a sponge or bigotry.
[Bb]
Or a banana.
[Ab] And love is made more powerful by [Bb] the ongoing drama or shared [Ab] experience.
And the synergy of a kind of [Bb] symbiotic empathy or [Cm] something.
So I trust [Fm] it goes without saying that [F] I would feel really very [Cm] sad.
[Ab] If tomorrow you were to fall off something high [Gm] or catch something bad.
[Ab] But I'm just saying I don't [Bb] think you're special.
[Ab] I mean I think you're special but you [Bb] fall within a bell curve.
_ [Ab] I mean I'm just saying [Bb] I probably have somebody [Cm] else.
[Fm] I think you are [D] unique and beautiful.
[Cm] You make me [Fm] happy to spa begunner.
[D]
But _ [Cm] objectively you would have to [Fm] agree that baby when I [D] found you.
Options were [G] relatively thin on the crown.
[Ab] You're lovely but there [Bb] must be girls as lovely as [Ab] you.
And maybe more open [Bb] to spanking or [Ab] fucking table tennis.
I'm just saying [Bb] I probably have somebody [C] else.
I mean [F] I reckon it's pretty likely [D] that if for example my first girlfriend Jackie [C] hadn't dumped me.
After I kissed [D] Winston's ex-girlfriend Nia at Steph's party back in [Cm] 1993.
And our variables [D] would probably [G] have been altered by the [C] absence of that [F] event.
To have meant the [E] advent of a tangential narrative in which [Cm] we don't [Fm] meet.
Which to say there exists [D] a theoretical [G] hypothetical parallel [Cm] life.
Where [Fm] what is is not as it is.
[D] And I'm not your husband and you are not my wife.
[Cm] And I am a [Fm] stuntman living in LA.
Married to a small blonde Portuguese [Cm] skier.
Who when she's not [Fm] training does abstract painting.
She practices yoga and brews her [Cm] own beer.
[Fm] And really likes making home movies and suffers neck down [N] alopecia. _ _ _
_ [Fm] But with all my heart and all [Gm] my mind I know one thing is [Ab] true.
I have just one life and [Gm] just one love.
And my love that love is [Fm] you.
And if it wasn't for [Ab] you.
Darling you.
[Bb] _ Possibly.
I'm [Cm] somebody else.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Cm]
I'm looking for me.
[G] [D] Someone else.
_ [Cm] _
[B] Do the mother fucker.
_ [N] _
