Tom: G
G
It’s half past one
G
This midday sun
C Am
Let’s just get away
C Am
It’s a mid week holiday
G
It’s a case of wine
G
Name your place and time
C Am
It’s not security
C Am
It’s not stability
C Am
I don’t have money
C Am
No place or plan
[Chorus 1]
G
But it’s better than a smooth ride
D
Better than waiting for low tide
C
Better than watching from ring side
D G
Better than taking the fall
G
Better than missing every sunrise
D
Trying not to capsize
C
Better than a compromise
D G
Better than nothing at all
[Verse 2]
G
I’m easy and slow
G
I can be lazy I know
C Am
But I’m right where I want to be so
C Am
Spare me the third degree
G
I’m the ripple in your drink
G
I’m a smile that’s out of sync, I’m the
C Am
Rainbow at your funeral
C Am
I speak in Roman numerals
C Am
Almost inconsumable
C Am
My parachute’s on fire
[Chorus 2]
G
But it’s better than a smooth ride
D
Better than waiting for low tide
C
Better than watching from ring side
D G
Better than taking the fall
G
Better than missing every sunrise
D
Trying not to capsize
C
Better than a compromise
D G
Better than nothing at all
[Verse 3]
Em G
But you know like I know
C Am
I’m the bottom of the pyramid
C Am
Socially inhibited
Em
Headstrong
G
But it’s a heavy load
Am C
When the wolves are at the door
[Chorus 3]
G
But it’s better than a smooth ride
D
Better than waiting for low tide
C
Better than watching from ring side
D G
Better than taking the fall
G
Better than missing every sunrise
D
Trying not to capsize
C
Better than a compromise
D G
Better than nothing at all
D G
Better than nothing at all
D G
Better than nothing at all
D G
Better than nothing at all
G
Better than nothing at all
