[Intro]
D A Em Em
D A Em Em
 
[Verse 1]
D
The sun's barely rising
A
The eastern horizon
Em Em
Is starting to lighten to grey
D
Man, there was a time
A
When a quarter past five
Em Em F# G A
Was the whole other side of the day
 
[Verse 2]
D
Oh, look at you now
A
Bright eyed somehow
Em Em
And swaying to a song that ain't playing out loud
D
And I lose the thread
A
Like, forget what I said
Em Em F# G A
I'm a deer in the headlights again
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G D Bm A
'Cause by default the future wins
G D Bm A
She carves the dolls and pulls the strings
 
[Chorus 1]
G G A
But it's all right here, right now
D D Bm Bm
In your hands and still out of reach somehow
G G A
This endless precipice
N.C
Or honey whatever it is
A (Rest)
Oh, it just don't get better than this
 
D A Em Em (2x)
 
[Verse 3]
D A
The revelry levels, eventually petals
Em Em
Of normalcy settle again
D
Oh, but look at us now
A
Normal somehow
Em Em F# G A
Is just inches from heaven, I guess
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G D Bm A
'Cause by default the future wins
G D Bm A
She carves the dolls and pulls the strings
 
[Chorus 2]
G G A
But now it's right here, right now
D D Bm Bm
In your hands and still out of reach somehow
G G A
And it's all there, but you can't quite look at it
D D Bm Bm
A glow in the margins, maybe that's just what heaven is
G G A
This endless precipice 'Cause honey whatever it is
A (Rest)
Oh, it just don't get better than this
 
[Bridge]
Bm F# G
And it's nearly unbearable
D Bm F#
That it will not submit to the touch
G
Lovely and terrible
A
That there's no way to touch it. No way to tame it. No way to bottle it up
 
D A Em Em
 
D
Oh, look at you now
A
Bright eyed somehow
Em Em F# G A
And swaying to a song in your head
 
[Chorus 3]
G G A
Right here, right now
D D Bm Bm
In your hands and still out of reach somehow
G G A
And it's all there, though you can't quite look at it
D D Bm Bm
A glow in the margins, honey that's just what heaven is
G G A
This endless precipice
N.C
And sugar whatever it is
D D Bm Bm
Ooh, it just don't get better than
G A D
this. Just don't get better than this

It just don't get better than this
