Better Than - Lake Street Dive chords
Start Jamming...
I could spend days reading the news I could spend days singing the blues
[D] But [G] I turned up the TV light [Am] Gave up without a [C] fight
[F] [C] Better than [Dm] pretending to know what's wrong or [G] what's right
[C] I could spend ages asking myself why
[C]
There's a million ways that I could say goodbye
[D]
[G] But I turned down the lights
[Am] Come on baby, come inside
[C]
[F] Better [C] than [Dm] being some [G] fool's bride
[F] Better than [D] pretending to know what's wrong or what's [G] right
[C]
[D]
[G] Turn down the lights [Am] Come on baby, come inside
[Am]
[F] Better than [D] pretending to know what's wrong or [G] what's right
[G]
[F] Better than [D] being [C] some [G] fool's bride
Well, [F] it's better than [D] pretending to know what's wrong or what's [G] right
Oh, what wrong was [F] [Dm] I?
[C] Didn't know [G] the whole world's a game
