INTRO F Bb C F Bb C am7 gm7 C dm7 C F Bb C F Bb C am7 gm7 C dm7 C Verses: F Bb C Won't you be my number two F Bb C Being number one or trough (?) am7 gm7 C There won't be too much to do dm7 C just smile when I feel blue F Bb C And there's not much left of me F Bb C What you get is what you see am7 gm7 C Is it worth the energy dm7 C I leave it up to you Break: Bb F C F And if you got something to say to me Bb F C F Don't try to lay off only weights on me Bb F C F I know that it's really not fair of me Bb9 C9 But my heart seemed too much action F Bb C And every time I look at you F Bb C you'll be who I want you to am7 gm7 C And I'll do what I can do dm7 C Bb^6 To make a dream or two come true Bb^6 gm7 F if you be my, if you be my number two. F Bb C F Bb C am7 gm7 C dm7 C End: Bb^6 gm7 gm7/c F^79 Chords: F: Bb: C: e|--1--------x-----------x---| b|--1--------3-----------5---| g|--2--------3-----------5---| d|--3--------3-----------5---| a|--3--------1-----------3---| e|--1--------x-----------x---| Use these chords for the first two lines of each verse and the break. The am7, gm7 and dm7 in the rest of each verse are: am7: gm7: dm7: e|--x------x-------x-------| b|--5------3-------10------| g|--5------3-------10------| d|--5------3-------10------| a|--x------x-------x-------| e|--5------3-------10------| For last C in each verse I take an upper position: C: e|-----x-------------------| b|-----8-------------------| g|-----9-------------------| d|-----10------------------| a|-----x-------------------| e|-----8-------------------| The Bb9 and the C9 in the end of the break are: Bb9: C9: e|--x-----------x---| b|--1-----------3---| g|--3-----------5---| d|--3-----------5---| a|--1-----------3---| e|--x-----------x---| So you finally need the chords I play in the end of the Song. I end up in the 10th position (dm7) and progress in a downward movement in an ending-sequence to a finally F^7/9: Play the dm7 at the 10th and the C at the 8th position. Go down two frets to the 6th position and try a Bbmajor6 like this: Bb^6: e|---------x--------| b|---------6--------| g|---------7--------| d|---------5--------| a|---------x--------| e|---------6--------| In the ending sequence I use the already mentioned gm7 after which I go over a gm7 add C on b-string at first position, gm7/C: e|---------x---------| b|---------1---------| g|---------3---------| d|---------3---------| a|---------x---------| e|---------3---------| to the last chord, a F major7/9: F^7/9: e|---------0---------| b|---------1---------| g|---------0---------| d|---------3---------| a|---------x---------| e|---------1---------| I hope you like it and enjoy...
