The Best Part

Ryan O'Reilly


Tom: G

        G                   Em              C/G         G
She was trying to talk some sense to me but my mind was gone
         G               Em                C/G           G
Then she figured out the route my train of thoughts were on
  G             Em              C/G          G
I wanted to get outta there she said are you sure
           G                     Em            C/G    G
I said you think you know what's happening but I know more
      G              Em          C/G     G
I was running out of money but I paid anyway
        G                Em                C/G         G
but she taught me in her language what she wants me to say
         G               Em           C/G        G
is there any place you'd rather be in this whole world
       G                   Em             C/G    G
than a cab ride through Berlin chasing Norwegian girls

[Chorus]
            D                       D7
I thought I knew what I had but she had me from the start
            G              Em              C/G          G
and gave me most of what I wanted but left out the best part

[Verse]
    G               Em            C/G        G
somewhere along the line we got a little off track
      G               Em                C/G          G
and I said some awful things and I take most of them back
      G             Em              C/G         G
don't read too much into this I'm a complicated man
             G                Em               C/G  G
she said: surprisingly you're not that hard to understand

[Bridge]
               D
she played her cards close to her chest
          D
I put the horse before the cart
D                                   D
Lead her through the backstreets of Campton in the dark
D                            D
Getting reaquainted with her lost high school heart
              D                               D7
She said it's getting to the end I thought we didn't even start


               D                  D7
she played her cards close to her chest
          D
I put the horse before the cart
            G              Em              C/G          G
She gave me most of what I wanted but left out the best part
            G              Em              C/G          G
She gave me most of what I wanted...
            G              Em              C/G          G
She gave me most of what I wanted...
            G              Em              C/G          G
She gave me most of what I wanted but left out the best part
