The Next Time We Wed Cifras

The Next Time We Wed (The Fratellis)
From the album "In Your Own Sweet Time" (2018)
Written by Jon Fratelli
 
Lyrics determined by listening to the song at 70-80% of normal speed using various filters.
I found no authoritative source for Fratelli lyrics online. Google searches revealed only lyric sources
with the same incorrect lyrics. For example:
• "I win you by the neck" is usually incorrectly transcribed as "I wring you by the neck."
   Winning by a neck is a horse-racing term. Wringing by the neck is murder.
• "Well it's just like a girl, I think, to keep a boy guessing" is usually incorrectly transcribed as
   "Well it's just like a girl I can keep a boy guessing" which, frankly, makes no sense.

[Intro]
| A | A | A | A B5 C5 C#5 |
 
[Verse]
A
Red eyes, tell me twice
A
Should I put my hopes on ice
A
Fair skin, empty face
A       B5      C5       C#5
Help me keep my nerve in place
D7
Read my lips, time slips
D7
Slowly from your fingertips
A
Make my night, hold tight
A          B5     C5       C#5
Thrill me 'til my teeth go white
E
Be my myth, I'll be your sin
D7                          A
Save me at your own expense --- Uh huh
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          A7
Well it's just like a girl, I think
   A7
To keep a boy guessin'
  A7
I win you by the neck and I would
A7        B5     C5      C#5
Teach you such a lesson, I'll
D7
Bleed for my profession
D7
Here is my confession
A7
Give me half a chance and you can
A7    B5    C5       C#5
Be my new obsession, I'll
E
Take your love and sympathy
D7
Put me outta my misery
A7
Blow me one more kiss and baby
A7      B5       C5      C#5
You can have the best of me
 
[Chorus]
D7sus
Next time we wed I'll be on my best behaviour
A7                       A7   B5     C5  C#5
Next time we wed I'll be everybody's saviour
D7sus
Next time we wed, Darlin', I'll be a saint
        E                 D
I'll be wrong when you're right
        C#m                   Bm
Keep my mouth shut and lips tight
E            F#m        G#m
Bare from my toes to my head
N.C.             A7*
The next time we wed, tell me this for nothin'
 
[Bridge]
A7*
- Make me dignified
A7*
- Kiss me as you're leavin'
A7*
Just so you can say you tried
D7sus*
- Make me sentimental
D7sus*
- Beat me black and blue
A7*
Hit me up it's just so simple
N.C.                         | N.C. |
Darlin' I'm too good for you
 
[Pre-Chorus]
N.C.          A7

D7sus
Next time we wed I'll be handsome in the daylight
A7
Next time we wed, oh Honey
A7     B5      C5    C#5
I will lose my stage fright
D7sus
Next time we wed I won't specialize in failure
A7                       A7   B5     C5  C#5
Next time we wed I'll be everybody's saviour
D7sus
Next time we wed, Honey, I'll be a saint

I'll be wrong when you're right

Keep my mouth shut and lips tight
E            F#m        G#m
Bare from my toes to my head
N.C.            |A7       |
The next time we wed ---
|A                 |A       |
 - The next time we wed ---
|A     B5   C5   C#5 |A      |
 - The next time we   wed ---
|A                 |A   |A B5 C5 C#5 |
 - The next time we wed-------------
