Tabbed by Martin Wescott

Accidental Babies by Damien Rice

An incredible song, it can work well either just strummed or with an appregio to match the piano as close as you can.


Intro: Dm G C C/B Am G F G

	F   
Well I held you like a lover
       G			C		C/B Am G            
Happy hands, your elbow in the appropriate place
    F   
And we ignored our others'
	G			   C		  C/B Am G
Happy plans for that delicate look upon your face


    F
Our bodies moved and hardened
	G
Hurting parts of your garden
     C	           C/B
With no room for a pardon
     Am			G		   F	G
In a place where no one knows what we have done


	Dm  G
Do you come
		   C    C/B Am G
Together ever with him?
	  Dm		G
And is he dark enough?
	  C		  C/B Am G
Enough to see your light?
	   Dm				     G
And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
       C	      C/B Am G
Do you miss my smell?
	  Dm			      G
And is he bold enough to take you on?
       C         C/B   Am     G
Do you feel like you belong?
	    F		    G
And does he drive you wild?
	C	     C/B Am G
Or just mildly free?
	   F	G
What about me?


	 F
Well you held me like a lover
       G
Sweaty hands
                    C 		     C/B Am G
And my foot in the appropriate place
       F			G
We use cushions to cover happy glands
                     C		  C/B Am G
In the mild issue of our disgrace


    F
Our minds pressed and guarded
	  G
While our flesh disregarded
    C            C/B            Am
The lack of space for the light-hearted
        G		   F	G
In the boon that beats our drum



       F
Well I know I make you cry
      G
And I know sometimes you wanna die
    C             C/B               Am    G
But do you really feel alive without me?
          F
If so, be free
                      G
If not, leave him for me
                     C	    C/B	Am     G
Before one of us has accidental babies
              F     G
For we are in love




	Dm  G
Do you come
		   C    C/B Am G
Together ever with him?
	  Dm		G
And is he dark enough?
	  C		  C/B Am G
Enough to see your light?
	   Dm				     G
And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
       C	      C/B Am G
Do you miss my smell?
	  Dm			      G
And is he bold enough to take you on?
       C         C/B   Am     G
Do you feel like you belong?
	    F		    G
And does he drive you wild?
	C	     C/B Am G
Or just mildly free?
	   F	
What about me?
	   G
What about me?
