[Intro: ](C) (C) (F) (F) (C) (C) (F) (F)
(C) Every night I'm lying in bed
(F) Holding you close in my dreams
(C) Thinking about all the things that we said
And (F) coming apart at the seams
(Em) We try to talk it (F) over
But the (Em) words come out too (G) rough
I (C) know you were trying
To (F) give me the best of your (C) love (G)
(C) Beautiful faces and loud, empty places
(F) Look at the way that we live
(C) Wasting our time on cheap talk and wine
(F) Left us so little to give
That (Em) same old crowd
Was like a (F) cold dark cloud
That (Em) we could never rise ab(G)ove
But (C) here in my heart I (F) give you the best of my (C) love (G)
woah woah woah
(C) Ohhhhh sweet darlin', (F) you get the best of my love
(C) Ohhhhh sweet darlin', (F) you get the best of my love
(Fm) I'm going back in time
And it's a (C) sweet dream
It was a (Fm) quiet night
And I would be all right
If I could (Dm) go on (G) sleeping
But (C) every morning
I wake up and worry
(F) What's gonna happen today
(C) You see it your way
And I see it mine
But we (F) both see it slipping away
(Em) You know we always had each (F) other baby
(Em) I guess that wasn't en(G)ough,
But (C) here in my heart
I (F) give you the best of my (C) love (G)
Woah woah woah
(C) Ohhhhh sweet darlin', (F) you get the best of my love
(C) Ohhhhh sweet darlin', (F) you get the best of my love
(C) Ohhhhh sweet darlin', (F) you get the best of my love
(C) Ohhhhh sweet darlin', (F) you get the best of my love
