Just Be Chords & Lyrics by Paloma Faith
Just Be
guitar chords lyrics
Transcribed from the premiere of this wonderful song on Jools Holland's Later programme
on BBC2, May 2012
That performance was accompanied by piano - no guitar -
so I hope the following represents a good arrangement for solo guitar.
Standard tuning, capo 1
All chords relative to open tuning
i.e. for Asus2 play x02200 which is in fact A#sus2

Asus2 E Bsus4
Verse 1
-------
Asus2 E C#m Bsus4
Let's get old to-gether
Asus2 E Bsus4 B/G#
Let's be un-happy for-ever
Asus2 E Bsus4 C#m
Cos there's no-one else in this world
Asus2 E Bsus4 B/G#
That I'd rather be unhappy with
Verse 2
-------
Asus2 E C#m Bsus4
Let's be ex-posed and unpro-tected
Asus2 E Bsus4 B/G#
Let's see one a-nother when we're weak
Asus2 E Bsus4 C#m
Let's go our separate ways in the night like to Mars
Asus2 E Bsus4
But know that you're flying home to me
Pre-chorus 1
------------
/G# Asus2 E
I was born thinking it would all be dreaming
C#m Bsus4
But I know that I wouldn't be happy that way
Asus2 E
You wear me out with frustration and heartache and anger
F# Asus2 /C
But we wait for the wave just to wash it a-way
Chorus 1
--------
C#m Asus2
Don't say nothing
C#m /B /A E
Just sit next to me
C#m Asus2
Don't say nothing ssshhh
F# Asus2
Just be just be just be

Verse 3
-------
Asus2 E C#m Bsus4
Let's let go to-gether
Asus2 E Bsus4 B/G#
Let us un-fold one an-other
Asus2 E Bsus4 C#m
And watch all the little things that once drew me to you
Asus2 E Bsus4
Eventually get on my nerves
Asus2 E
I wear you out with frustration and heartache and anger
F# Asus2 /C
But we wait for the wave just to wash it a-way
Chorus 2
--------
C#m Asus2
Don't say nothing
C#m /B /A E
Just sit next to me
C#m A
Don't say nothing ssshhh

Just be just be just be

Asus2 Bsus4 E /F# /G /G#
When you're sick of me every day ohh oh oh
Asus2 Bsus4 E /F# /G /G#
When you're tired of my voice
Asus2 Bsus4 C#m
When you tell me you'll walk out that door
F# Asus2/A# /B /C
That's when I know that you'll stay woh oh
Asus2/A# /B /C
