Better To Be by Liam Finn
verse
EmBettD7er to Embe D7bigger than the Gother
DHeart on your sleevEme and D7/F#hat on your head
EmI waD7nt to see Emyou pD7laying with your Gshadow

Ordinary people like I told you
Are following me everywhere

Girl you seemed so nice
But Ill be gone by morning time
Baby baby Ill be gone
Fooled me once or twice
The boy inside can&#65533;t unwind
Maybe maybe Ill go home

Bigger eyes than belly size
Baby baby Ill be gone
You fooled me once or twice
The boy inside cant unwind
Maybe maybe I&#65533;ll go home
