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
