Title:  Always Getting Better

Transcribed by nufan at m-net.arbornet.org



Here's the main idea for the verse...it varies slightly throughout the song. 
Just arppegiate the chords and it'll sound fine.

Verse

           Bm     D              A
Yeah there were times When I was lonely

      Bm              D             A
And I lay here like a ghost Upon my bed

        Bm               D                A
I never thought about my friends  I never called up anyone

      Bm           D             A
I was happy hiding out Inside my head



Verse -  Bm  D  A 

And then you came along
And loved me all up
First you calmed me down
And then you took my hand
And as we lay under the sky
And watched the planes go by
Well I knew I’d never be
The same again


Pre-Chorus

C#m  F#m    D
Slow down I want to go with you

C#m   F#m   D
Can’t we wait here awhile

C#m
And Ill watch you smile

B
And we’ll hide away

B
And let all the world go by



Chorus

A       E
No more reasons why 

F#m                  B
We sit and count The tears we cry

B
Sit and count the tears

D              E
Always getting better

D              E
Always getting better

A         E
Leave the lonely days

F#m                      B
Close your eyes Let them drift away

B
Sit and count the tears

D              E
Always getting better

D              E
Always getting better

Verse - Bm  D  A

I have thought about your leaving For a long time now
And I guess that in the end I’ll be right
But the blackness of your hair
The way your smile hits me Everywhere
These are the things That come to me at night



Pre-Chorus

C#m  F#m    D
Slow down I want to go with you

C#m  F#m    D
Can’t we wait here awhile

C#m
And Ill watch you smile

B
Come pouring in

B
As we let all the world go by


Chorus 

No more reason why
We sit and Count the tears we cry
Always getting better
Always getting better

Leave the lonely days
Close your eyes Let them drift away
Always getting better
Always getting better

Lie down again 
watch Moonlight streaming in
Always getting better
Always getting better
