This is such a beautiful and simple song; I don't know
why anyone hasn't made a correct, definitive chord sheet of it.

Anyway, here goes my version.

CHORD CHART
   032010
   133211
  x02210  or  577555
G   320033  or  355433

INTRO:  -     x3
        - 

VERSE 1:
                                 
Thursday night, everything's fine, 
                        
except you've got that look in your eye
                                             
when I'm tellin' a story and you find it boring,
                               
you're thinking of something to say.
                                                
You'll go along with it then drop it 
                
and humilliate me
                        
in front of our friends.

 - 

VERSE 2:
                              
Then I'll use that voice that you find annoyin'
        
and say something like
                   
"yeah, intelligent input, darlin',
                                          
why don't you just have another beer then?"

 - 

VERSE 3:
             
Then you'll call me a bitch
                             
and everyone we're with will be embarrassed,
                      
and I wont give a shit.

CHORUS 1:
    
My fingertips are holding 
         
onto the cracks in our foundation,
       
and I know that I should let go,
    
but I can't.
                                      
And every time we fight I know it's not right,
                                   
every time that you're upset and I smile.
                            
i know I should forget, but I can't.

VERSE 4:
                   
You said I must eat so many lemons
                
    'cause I am so bitter.

I said
               
"I'd rather be with your friends mate 
                     
'cause they are much fitter."

VERSE 5:
                                  
Yes, it was childish and you got aggressive,
                     
and I must admit that I was a bit scared,
                                     
but it gives me thrills to wind you up.

CHORUS 2:
    
My fingertips are holding 
         
onto the cracks in our foundation,
       
and I know that I should let go,
    
but I can't.
                                      
And every time we fight I know it's not right,
                                   
every time that you're upset and I smile.
                            
I know I should forget, but I can't.

VERSE 6:
                  
Your face is pasty 
                              
'cause you've gone and got so wasted,
          
what a surprise.
                              
Don't want to look at your face
                    
 'cause it's makin' me sick.

VERSE 7:
                                 
You've gone and got sick on my trainers,
                     
I only got these yesterday.
                                                   
Oh, my gosh, I cannot be bothered with this.

VERSE 8:
                                    
Well, I'll leave you there 'till the mornin',
                              
and I purposely won't turn the heating on
                                                
and dear God, I hope I'm not stuck with this one.

CHORUS 3:
    
My fingertips are holding 
         
onto the cracks in our foundation,
       
and I know that I should let go,
    
but I can't.
                                      
And every time we fight I know it's not right,
                                   
every time that you're upset and I smile.
                            
I know I should forget, but I can't.

OUTRO:
                                       
And every time we fight I know it's not right,
                                   
every time that you're upset and I smile.
                            
I know I should forget, but I can't.

                                      
And every time we fight I know it's not right,
                                   
every time that you're upset and I smile.
                            
I know I should forget, but I can't.
