B G#m E B
'Cause my arms would die without your hands to lift
B G#m E B
And your arms will lie parallel to his
B G#m E F# B
And I won't be fooled as long as I don't hear
B G#m
That you have been whispering
E B
Sweet nothings in his ear
E B
And one of these days he'll screw up
F# G#m F#
And oh, you'll question the love
E B
And I will be waiting there for you
F#
To wander back
E B F#
'Cause you deserve more than that
G#m E B F#
'Cause you deserve more than that
B G#m
You'll pardon his thinking
E B
All the fights he dragged you through
B G#m
And I learned of his shortcomings
E F#
When I got to lie with you
E B
The ways that we differ
G#m F# E
And ways you can begin
B E
To bring back the green in your eyes
G#m B
The sadness from your skin
E B
And one of these days you'll grow up
F# G#m
And oh, you'll question a love
E B
That never fulfilled you from the start
F#
It won't take long to mend a broken heart
E B F#
Deserves more than that
E B F#
'Cause it deserves more than that
E
You'll wait for a break
F# G#m
Then the morning comes
E
And it feels like a burning
B E F#
Burning such of the sun
E B F#
It feels like broken glass
The shot of a gun
E B
And one of these days he'll screw up
F# G#m F#
And oh, you'll question the love
E B
And I will be waiting there for you
F#
To wander back
E B
And one of these days you'll grow up
F# G#m F#
And oh, you'll question a love
E B
It never fulfilled you from the start
F# E B F# G#m
It won't take long to mend a broken heart
E B F#
'Cause you deserve more than that
E B F# G#m
You deserve more than that

You deserve more than that
