C  F x4 

            C     F 
So easy to hurt 
             C       F 
so hard to forgive 
                        C     F 
and there's no getting over 
                  C       F 
the people we've been 

          Am                   G 
but it sounds like a question 
                      F 
when we say "this is it" 

           G       F 
won't you stay around 
 Am                            G 
tell me that we're better off now 
 Em      F 
wait it out 
 Am                           G    
tell me that we're better off now 
  G               C    F 
we're better off now 


C   F 

                          C         F 
From the first time we heard this 
                     C       F 
we were quick to believe 
                    C       F 
that light on the surface 
              C       F 
was dark underneath 

       Am           G 
knew enough to be nervous 
                       F 
but we just couldn't quit 


  G       F 
 stay around 
 Am                            G 
tell me that we're better off now 
 Em      F 
wait it out 
 Am                           F 
tell me that we're better off now 
       G         C G     C G   C    F 
we're better off,   better off now 

C   F 

      Dm                           Am 
let's say that the sun might show up here tomorrow 
     C                        G 
and we could go back to that place 
       Dm                         Am 
let's say that the sun might show up here tomorrow 
    C                          G 
and we'll find the love we misplaced 


Em    F 

      Am                             G 
just tell me that we're better off now 

Em     F 

       Am                           G 
just tell me that we're better off now 

      Em    F 
just stay around 
 Am                            G     C G 
tell me that we're better off now 
                  C     F 
we're better off now 
            C   
better off now
