James Blunt – Give me some love
Real key of the song : F + ¼ tone.
You can play it in F, it won't make a big difference. If you really want it to sound
the original, you have two options :
1- tune down all the strings of the guitar of -1/4 tone and play the chords with capo 1
for the safety of the strings)
2- or tune up everything + ¼ tone, and play without capo
Enjoy!! Comments are welcome

And those little pieces are little pieces of my own.

F
Why don't you give me some love?

I've taken ship-load of drugs.
Dm Dm/C Bb
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain.

Valium said to me, I'll take you seriously,
Dm Dm/C Bb
And we'll come back as someone else,
Bbm
Who's better than yourself.
Verse 2 (same chords as Verse 1) :
Many faces at the doorway all hang round.
Watch me fighting in the hallway but make no sound.
So I'm standing all alone, and I'm only skin and bone.
So many faces but they all look out for their own.

Why don't you give me some love?

Who's better than yourself.
