Everything But the Girl (EBTG), was a Hull, Yorkshire, UK, folk-pop / trip-hop duo of Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn. They débuted with a single for a Cole Porter cover, Night And Day (Mar 1982, Cherry Red). Their final album was Temperamental (Sept 1999, Virgin).
Ben met Tracey when they were at Hull University and she was singing in pop girl-band Marine Girls. Ben contributed a photograph, for a forthcoming album cover, after which, the pair became partners (later getting married).

This song is pretty straightforward; the chords are the same for both the verses and the chorus. Very easy to play, and a great song, too!
Verse 1: Am I called you from the hotel phone Am/F# I haven't dialled this code before Fmaj7 I'm sleeping later and waking later G I'm eating less and thinking more Am And how am I without you? Am/F# Am I more myself or less myself? Fmaj7 I feel younger, louder GAmAm/F# Like I don't always connect Fmaj7G Like I don't ever connect
Chorus: AmAm/F# And do you like being single? Fmaj7 Do you want me back? G Do you want me back? AmAm/F# And do I like being single? Fmaj7 Am I coming back? G Am I coming back?
Verse 2: Am I'll put my suitcase here for now Am/F# I'll turn the TV to the bed Fmaj7 But if no one calls and I don't speak all day G Do I disappear? Am And look at me without you Am/F# I'm quite proud of myself Fmaj7 I feel reckless, clumsy GAmAm/F# Like I'm making a mistake Fmaj7G A really big mistake
Chorus (same as above)
Verse 3: Am And now I know Am/F# Each time I go Fmaj7 I don't really know G What I'm thinking Am And now I know Am/F# Each time I go Fmaj7 I don't really know G What I'm thinking of
