In Better Times

Tom: G

G  Bm  C  Am7

[Verse]
  G      Bm           C
Girl, come on, can't you see?
          Am7                  G
When you lie, you break the seal
 G         Bm      C
Drain the sea of love
       Am7         G  Bm  C  Am7
That we have for you

[Verse]
  G              Bm
Ah, cold in your eyes
           C
Don't you know?
            Am7              G
That you break my heart in two
       Bm      C
Try to see behind
       Am7                   D
Those walls you've made your own

[Chorus]
  Cmaj7            D            Cmaj7
Skipping over the ocean like a stone
  Cmaj7             D            Cmaj7
Looking for a place that you call home
              Em
Well, I don't know
           D              C
I thought home was in your heart
         Em
I didn't know
        D             C
That your heart was so apart

[Solo]

G   Bm   C   Am7
G   Bm   C   Am7   D
Am   G    Am   Bm

[Bridge]
 Am               G
In better times, you will fly
 Am
Do all the things you wanna do
  Bm
Not all the things that others want you to

[Verse]
  G            Bm       C
So, what you need, is to see
     Am7             G
It's okay to be yourself
     Bm          C
And that with belief
      Am7                  G
That the world will do the rest
 Bm    C                D
Ah, belief, and the world will do the rest

[Chorus]
  Cmaj7            D            Cmaj7
Skipping over the ocean like a stone
  Cmaj7             D            Cmaj7
Looking for a place that you call home
              Em
Well, I don't know
           D              C
I thought home was in your heart
         Em
I didn't know
        D             C       G
That your heart was so apart

[Verse]
 Am
Waiting for the bus
         Bm
To take you home
 Am
Standing out in the rain
       Bm
On your phone
      Cmaj7
Ah, it makes me so sad
    D
To think of you all alone

[Bridge]
 Am
In better times
    Bm
You will fly
 Am             Bm
In better times
 Am              Bm
In better times, oh
