Tom: Ebm
C# D D#m
[Verse 1]
C#
This is how we’re supposed to be
Bmaj7 F#maj7
Out beneath these falling leaves
Bmaj7 F#
I held you to my chest
G#m C# D#m
You’re better off like that
[Verse 2]
C#
Love I'm used to playing a fool
B F#maj7
The vagabond a moving ghoul
Bmaj7 F#
Who’s slow to slip and fade
G#m C# Bmaj7 G#m
When all the leaves they are swept away
[Chorus]
C# D#m A#m Bmaj7
You’re better off beneath that man than in my arms love (x3)
B C# D#m
Mm mm mm
[Verse 3]
D#m Bm C# B
This is where we speak so slow
F#
Out into the towns we go
B F#
The dawn it lights our backs
D#m C#
Oh, my love, though my heart is moved
B F#maj7
The wind may pull my lips from you
Bmaj7 F#
And we might stand to be
G#m C# B G#
Like passing ships on the open sea
[Chorus]
C# D#m A#m Bmaj7
You’re better off beneath that man than in my arms love (x3)
[Bridge]
