C#Now it ain't like me to talk about the way
my woBman makes me fF#eel
C#But since you asked and I've got a minute
well genBtlemen here's the dF#eal
If I tBold it's as good as this or that you mF#ight misunderstand
So lG#et me give you all a little idea of what's it's better tC#han
CHORUS:
It's better than whF#iskey when you're cold
Better then your faBvorite song on the your rF#adio
(F#)
Better than a feather bed when you've been loving all night
and you're G#got to get some rC#est
Better than puF#nching out on payday
BAnd cruise control down the highway
It's a wF#hole lot better then it used to be
and it uC#sed to be the bF#est.
C#Now I've seen love that started to fade soon aBfter that first kF#iss
C#But let me make it clear right now that aBin't the case with tF#his
It stBarted out good, started getting better It nF#ever has slowed down
And it's betG#ter than a bunch of you buying me another rC#ound
go to chorus
BLordy, lord I love that woman of mF#ine
BAnd what we've got has got to be one hundred tC#imes better than
go to chorus
End with last line of chorus.

well gentlemen here's the deal

So let me give you all a little idea of what's it's better than

It's better than whiskey when you're cold

B F#

Better then your favorite song on the your radio

()

Better than a feather bed when you've been loving all night

and you're got to get some rest

Better than punching out on payday

And cruise control down the highway

It's a whole lot better then it used to be

Now I've seen love that started to fade soon after that first kiss

C# B F#

And what we've got has got to be one hundred times better than

go to chorus

End with last line of chorus.
