Db So he tries to pacify her, Ebm7 Bbm Ebm7 'Cos what's inside her never dies. Chorus: Db So he tries to pacify her, Ebm7 Bbm Ebm7 'Cos what's inside her never dies. Db So he tries to pacify her, Ebm7 Bbm Ebm7 'Cos what's inside her never dies.

Try Db Maj7, that sounds really jazzy!
-1 is also easy and sounds more like the original song I think
