_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [D] _ You were always trying to make me [G] better, _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ [D] and I got convinced that was [G] a good plan.
_ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [D] _ I never thought I'd tell you [G] to fuck off, _ _ cause [D] I'm not so bad [F#m] just the way [G] I am. _ _ _
And [D] I know _ _ we've all got [G] some work to do, _ _ and [D] I'll be the first to [A] admit I can be a [G] mess.
_ _ _ [D] _
But I don't think you ever really [G] wanted me, _ _ just [D] a prop _ to [F#m] help you run your [G] best. _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ So how's it going?
_ _ [G] _ Going in a little hole.
[D] Now you've got all the space you said [Bm] you needed. _ _ _ _
_ [A] Yeah, what's the plan?
Do you [G] ever look _ back? _
_ _ [D] You'll miss some part of you when you think [A] of me. _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [D] But I see your pictures [F#m]
now, and it feels [G] kinda funny. _ _ _
_ [D] Cause there's a stranger laughing [F#m] next to your big [G] old smile.
[C#] _ _ _
_ [D] Well you look just the same, _
[A] just a little [G] bit different. _ _
_ [C#] [D] Wearing brand new [A] clothes and [F#m] that [G] simple smile. _ _
[F#] And you think [D] _ sometimes I wonder [A]
if we ever [G] really change at all. _
_ [D] Or if we're just [A] living out our [G] DNA.
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _
And we [D] like to think _ [F#m] that we're riding [G] our own _ lines.
But the [D] subtext is always [A] changing with [G] the day. _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ So how's it going? _
_ [G] Going in a little _ hole.
[D] Now you've got all the space you told me you [Bm] needed. _ _ _ _ _
[A] Yeah, what's the plan?
Do you ever [G] look _ back? _ _
[D] So you'll miss some part of me when you [A] think of _ me.
Cause as for me, [D] I'm better, _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[D] I'm better. _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[G] _ I never _ dreamed you would [Bm] bring me.
_ _ _ _ [D] _
I just kept learning to [A] _
bend.
_ _ But [G] that was, that was all there was more that you [D] could _ take.
_ And you [Bm] did _ not [A] want to [G] pretend. _
_ _ And this [Bm] is only [A] the _ _ _ [G] beginning. _
I [C] gotta say [D] it's better, _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] it's better. _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C#] _ _
[Em] _ _ [G] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [D] _
