[Intro]

Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 Dsus2/A
Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 Dsus2/A


[Verse]

Bm9         Dsus2
  I want you, thin fingers;
Gsus2           Dsus2/A
  I wanted you, thin fingernails.
Bm9          Dsus2
  And when you bend backward
Gsus2           Dsus2/A
  I wanted you, I needed you
Bm9   Dsus2     Gsus2    Dsus2/A
Oh-oh to make me better

Bm9 Dsus2 Gsus2 Dsus2/A


[Verse]
Bm9          Dsus2
I'll love you in springtime
Gsus2           Dsus2/A
I lost you when summer came.
Bm9          Dsus2
And when you pulled backward
Gsus2           Dsus2/A
I wanted you, I needed you
Bm9   Dsus2     Gsus2    Dsus2/A
Oh-oh, to make me better.
Bm9   Dsus2     Gsus2    Dsus2/A
Oh-oh to make me better.


[Chorus]

A                          G             D
  But we're not so starry-eyed anymore
         G            D                    A          G 
Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
A                            G                D
And won't it all just come around to make you
       G              D               A
Let it all unbreak you to the day you met her
                G
But it'd make you better.
            Bm9      Dsus2      Gsus2 
It'd make you better.


[Verse]
Bm9          Dsus2
I sung you your twinges
Gsus2           Dsus2/A
I suffered you your tattletales.
Bm9          Dsus2
And when you broke sideways
Gsus2           Dsus2/A
I wanted you, I needed you
Bm9   Dsus2     Gsus2    Dsus2/A
Oh-oh, to make me better.
Bm9   Dsus2     Gsus2    Dsus2/A
Oh-oh, to make me better.


[Chorus]

A                          G             D
  But we're not so starry-eyed anymore
         G            D                    A          G 
Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
A                            G                D
And won't it all just come around to make you
       G              D               A
Let it all unbreak you to the day that you met her
                G
And it'd make you better.
                Bm       G     D     A
And it'd make you better.
               Bm       G     D     A
Did it make you better?


[Instrumental]

Bm G D A


[Bridge]

Bm                       G                 D    A
  And all I wanted was a sliver to call mine.
Bm                       G                  D
  And all I wanted was a shimmer in your shine
            A           G A
To make me bright


[Chorus]

A                            G             D
 'Cause we're not so starry-eyed anymore
         G            D                    A          G 
Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
A                            G                D
And won't it all just come around to make you
       G              D               A
Let it all unbreak you to the day that you met her
                G
And it'd make you better.
                Bm       G     D     A
And it'd make you better.


[Outro]

Bm9     Dsus2     Gsus2  Dsus2/A
Bm9     Dsus2     Gsus2  Dsus2 Gsus2
Bm9
