Love Is An Unmade Bed

Hello! This is a gorgeous track from Nerina's new EP, and I thought I'd give it a whirl.
I'm not sure the lyrics towards the end are totally right, but the chords sound fine.
They're pretty simple, but there's a Gm and an Eb in the bridge. Nerina uses an Em shape 
for the former, and an A shape for the latter. Have fun!

G
Good times and bad times
The love that we shared
        A
Now you sleep on the sofa
And I don't care
Am                          D
Time was I'd reach for your hand
                    G
And you'd always be there

So what can we do but
Divide up our books
        A
And our records? And field
All our friends' funny looks
Am                  D
You take the TV and I take the bed
     G
Or a chair

  Gm
I found an old photo
     Eb
From when we first met
       F
When I still wore your clothes
         Bb
And we'd just stay in bed
   Gm                      Eb
On Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays
         C                D
I'd skip work for you instead

    Em                    A
Oh, love is a rock, not a straitjacket
C          D       G
Love is an unmade bed
    Em                    A
Oh, love is a rock, not a straitjacket
C          D       G
Love is an unmade bed

You and me, babe
We're a Vaudeville show
    A
All jazz hands and kisses
Nobody would know
      Am
We're dying inside
    D                       G
But always the life and the soul

Like brother and sister
None closer than we
         A
When you say you're too tired
I'm secretly relieved
      Am               D
But I try to see you again
                    G
To see you like the first time

    Gm
And sometimes I glimpse us
  Eb
Before we were us
  F
Before we had bills
      Bb
And before we had staff
  Gm                      Eb
Before we bought suitable wine for our meals
           C           D
And bought records instead

    Em                    A
Oh, love is a rock, not a straitjacket
C          D       G
Love is an unmade bed
    Em                    A
Oh, love is a rock, not a straitjacket
C          D       G
Love is an unmade bed

VERSE CHORDS - hum or doobedoo. Or la. Or keep quiet. I can't tell you how to live your life

  G
I see you again in a year
Maybe two
     A
At a wedding or birthday
And you have moved on
    Am                     D
And just for a moment I'll choke
                   G
Then the moment is gone

Just for a second
I'll question it
    A
All nostalgic
And trying to hide it
          Am                            D
Then I'll snuff out this thought in the moment,
             G
The issue decided.
