INTRO: C  
Summer is Amover and her Dmtemples are Ggrey
And I Dmguess you'll be Amlooking 'round for Fsomebody Gnew
Or Cmaybe you Amfound him and you're Dmjust not Gsaying
'Cause Dmhe makes you Amfeel the way FI used to Gdo
CHORUS:
       C~ ~    ~                      G  Dm  
Oh babe,    if there's a better way to love you
Well, Amshow it to Fme
       ~ ~     ~           C     F~   G  
'Cause I could not live and let you get away
Knowing Dmthere was a Fbetter way-Gy
Well, Cout on that Amhighway, the Dmmean wind is Gscreaming
And it Dmcuts right Amthrough you and the Frain bites Ghard
But CI'd walk beAmside you, to Dmshare in your Gdreaming
And Dmwhile you were Amsleeping, I'd Fbe standing Gguard
CHORUS:
        C~ ~    ~                      G  Dm  
Now babe,    if there's a better way to love you
Well, Amshow it to Fme
       ~ ~     ~           C     F~   G  
'Cause I could not live and let you get away
Knowing Dmthere was a Fbetter way-Gy
Well, Chard roads bust Amopen with Dmbitter words Gspoken
And Dmhearts can be Ambroken, and Fdreams unGdone
But Chearts can be Ammended, and Dmhard words forGgotten
And Dmroads return Amoften where Fthey started Gfrom
CHORUS:
        C~ ~    ~                      G  Dm  
So babe,     if there's a better way to love you
Well, Amshow it to Fme
       ~ ~     ~           C     F~   G  
'Cause I could not live and let you get away
Knowing Dmthere was a Fbetter way-Gy
Death Ccame to my Amwindow in the Dmform of a Gmaiden
But Dmshe didn't say Amnothing, she just Fstood and staredG  
And 'Cround about Ammidnight she Dmlay down beGside me
But Dmwhen I aAmwoke, there was Fnobody Gthere
CHORUS:
       C~ ~    ~                      G  Dm  
Oh babe,    if there's a better way to love you
Well, Amshow it to Fme
       ~ ~     ~           C     F~   G  
'Cause I could not live and let you get away
Knowing Dmthere was a Fbetter way-Gy

Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Better Way

## NOTE: ~ = bass walk-down between chords ##

INTRO:

Am Dm G

Summer is over and her temples are grey

Dm Am F G

And I guess you'll be looking 'round for somebody new

C Am Dm G

Or maybe you found him and you're just not saying

Dm Am F G

'Cause he makes you feel the way I used to do

CHORUS:

C G Dm

~ ~ ~

Oh babe, if there's a better way to love you

Am F

Well, show it to me

C F G

~ ~ ~ ~

'Cause I could not live and let you get away

Dm F G

Knowing there was a better way-y

C Am Dm G

Well, out on that highway, the mean wind is screaming

Dm Am F G

And it cuts right through you and the rain bites hard

C Am Dm G

But I'd walk beside you, to share in your dreaming

Dm Am F G

And while you were sleeping, I'd be standing guard

CHORUS:

C G Dm

~ ~ ~

Now babe, if there's a better way to love you

Am F

Well, show it to me

C F G

~ ~ ~ ~

'Cause I could not live and let you get away

Dm F G

Knowing there was a better way-y

C Am Dm G

Well, hard roads bust open with bitter words spoken

Dm Am F G

And hearts can be broken, and dreams undone

C Am Dm G

But hearts can be mended, and hard words forgotten

Dm Am F G

And roads return often where they started from

CHORUS:

C G Dm

~ ~ ~

So babe, if there's a better way to love you

Am F

Well, show it to me

C F G

~ ~ ~ ~

'Cause I could not live and let you get away

Dm F G

Knowing there was a better way-y

C Am Dm G

Death came to my window in the form of a maiden

Dm Am F G

But she didn't say nothing, she just stood and stared

C Am Dm G

And 'round about midnight she lay down beside me

Dm Am F G

But when I awoke, there was nobody there

CHORUS:

C G Dm

~ ~ ~

Oh babe, if there's a better way to love you

Am F

Well, show it to me

C F G

~ ~ ~ ~

'Cause I could not live and let you get away

Dm F G

Knowing there was a better way-y
