If I Didn't Have You chords by Tim Minchin
Verse 1
Dm
Am
Dm
Yeah, yeah,
Bdim
E
Am
Dm
Bdim
E
if I didn't have you
Am
Dm
Bdim
If I didn't have you to hold me tight
E
Am
Dm
Bdim
If I didn't have you to lie with at night
E
Am
If I didn't have you to
Dm
share my sighs
Bdim
And to kiss me and dry
Fdim
E
my tears when I cry
F
G
Well, I mean, really think that I would
Am
Dm
have somebody else
E
Am
If I didn't have you,
Dm
E
someone else would too
Am
Dm
Bdim
Your love is one in a million
E
Am
Dm
Bdim
You couldn't buy it at any price
E
Am
But of the 9 .999900000
Dm
other possible loves
Bdim
Statistically,
Fdim
E
some of them would be equally nice
F
Or maybe not as nice,
G
but say, smarter than you
F
G
Or dumber, but better at sport
Or...
F
Tracing, I'm just saying
G
G#dim
Am
Dm
Probably have somebody else
E
Am
If I didn't have you,
Dm
E
someone else would do
Am
Dm
If I were a rich man
E
Diddle, diddle, diddle, diddle,
diddle, diddle, diddle -dee
Am
Dm
I guess I would be with a
surgeon or a model
Bdim
E
Or a Relie of the Royals or a Kennedy
Am
Dm
Or an infomaniacal exhibitionist heiress
Bdim
E
To a large chain of hotels
Am
Dm
If I were a rich man,
maybe I would fiddle
Bdim
Diddle, diddle,
E
diddle with the rich man girls
Am
Dm
I'm not saying that I'd not love you
Bdim
E
If I was wealthy or handsome
But realistically,
Am
Dm
there's lot s of fish in the sea
Bdim
E
And if I had a different rod,
I would conceivably land some
Am
Even though I'm fiscally
Dm
consistently pi tiable
And considerably less Brad Pitt
Bdim
than Brad Pitiful
Fdim
E
Am I really so poor and ugly
that you think only you could
F
possibly love me?
G
And I really think that I would, probably,
Am
Dm
Bdim
have somebody else
E
In my head
Am
Dm
If I didn't love you,
Bdim
someone else would too
E
Someone else would try to look,
Am
Dm
I'm not undervaluing what
we've got when I say
Bdim
E
That given the role chaos inevitably plays
Am
Dm
And the inherently flawed notion of fate
E
It's abstruse to deduce
Am
I found my soulmate at the age of 17
Dm
Bdim
E
It's just mathematically unlikely
Am
that at a university in Perth
Dm
I happen to stumble on the one
girl on earth
E
specifically designed for me
Am
And if I may conjecture a
Dm
further objection,
love has nothing to do
Bdim
with destined perfection
Fdim
E
The connection is strengthened,
the affection simply grows over time
F
Like a flower, or a mushroom,
G
or a guinea pig, or a vine
F
G
Or a sponge, or bigotry, or a banana
F
Love is made more powerful
G
by the ongoing drama of
shared experience
F
and the synergy of a kind of symbiotic empathy,
G
or something.
Am
Dm
So I trust it goes without saying
E
that I would feel really very sad
Am
Dm
if tomorrow you were to fall
off something high
E
or catch something bad.
Em
F
But I'm just saying,
G
I don't think you're special.
F
I mean, I think you're special,
G
but you fall within a bell curve.
F
I mean, I'm just saying, probably.
G
G#dim
Am
Dm
I think you are unique
Bdim
and beautiful
E
Am
Dm
You make me happy just by
Bdim
being around
E
Am
But objectively you would have to agree
Dm
That baby when I found you
Bdim
Fdim
Options were relatively
E
thin on the ground
F
You're lovely
G
but there must be girls as lovely as you
F
And maybe more open to
G
F
spanking or table tennis
G
G#dim
Am
Dm
I reckon it's pretty likely
that if, for example,
E
my first girlfriend Jackie
Am
Dm
hadn't dumped me af ter I kissed
Bdim
Winston's ex -girlfriend Nia
E
at Steph's party back in 1993,
Am
Dm
then our variables would
Bdim
probably have been altered
E
by the absence of that event
Am
Dm
to have meant the advent of a
Bdim
E
tangential narrative
Am
Dm
in which we don't meet, which is to say
there exists the theoretical
Bdim
E
hypothetical parallel life
Am
Dm
where what is is not as it is
Bdim
and I'm not your hus band
E
and you are not my wife
Am
and I am a stuntman
Dm
living in LA
married to a small blonde
E
Portuguese skier
Am
who when she's not training
Dm
does abstract painting practices
E
yoga and brews her own beer
Am
Dm
and really likes making home movies
Bdim
E
and suffers neck -down alopecia
Dm
but with all my heart and all my mind
Em
I know one thing is true
F
I have just one life and just one love
Em
and my love, that love is you
Dm
Em
And if it wasn't for you, darling,
F
G
do you really think that I would probably
E
Am
Dm
Bdim
have somebody else?
E
Am
Dm
And if it wasn't for you, darling,
E
Am
do you
think would probably have somebody else?
