Instead of this intro you can also play G - D - Em - C
This is a rough idea on the bass riff(some notes missing, but it really works well)

Verse:(Same as intro)(bass riff)
If I made it through Christmas without smoking
'Til your parents went to bed
If you made it through too
Without sticking your nail scissors in my neck
I'll buy you bras instead of pickled eggs
Chocolate instead of chutney
Good red wine instead of bad red wine
Next time I remember your birthday
(drums start)(bass riff)
G
I ate peaches straight from the can
D
The juice ran down my tongue
Em
Over my lip
Slipped down my chin
C
Dripped onto your parents' carpet
Bridge:(bass plays root notes)
G D Em
The air in here is dead
Bm C G
But we're not finished yet
G D Em
Throw the back door open
Bm C G
Let me see your breath
Chorus:(trumpet does bass riff)(bass plays root notes)
G
I love you like a madman
D
I miss you all the time
Em
I wait for the morning
C D
I will wait all night
Verse:(bass riff)
(only one strum)
G
I mixed rum and coke and lemonade
D
Asked for my presents in the kitchen
Em
Alone again at 3am
C
I listened to them
(normal strumming)(bass riff)
G
With sugar round the rim and ash around the edges
D
Of the tiles and the tables
Em
You didn't sit up waiting
C
But somehow slept sober
Bridge:(bass plays root notes)
G D Em
The air in here is dead
Bm C G
But we're not finished yet
G D Em
Throw the back door open
Bm C G
Let me see your breath
Chorus:(trumpet plays guitar riff)(bass plays root notes)
G
I love you like a madman
D
I miss you all the time
Em
I wait for the morning
C D
I will wait all night
(trumpet and bass play root note of the guitar chord)
G
I love you like a madman
D
I miss you all the time
Em
I wait for the morning
C D
I will wait all night
Trumpet solo in G major pentatonic scale, what is the same as E minor pentatonic. For
understanding, pentatonic scale in 12th fret.
Same chords as in chorus.
