[Intro]

[Verse]

C/G D7/F#

In the morning, I was Leaving

D7 C Csus4 C

You were sleeping, quietly

C/G D7/F#

I read the paper, on the train

D7 C Csus4 C

Eight more hours ’til I’m home again

[Chorus]

F G C

And then I’ll see you better, better than you were before

F G C

In your favorite sweater, laughing by the kitchen door

F G C

With so many roses, I didn’t have the time to count

F G C

But now I see you better, I see you better

C/G D7/F# D7 C Csus4 C

[Interlude]

[Verse]

C/G D7/F#

Navy blue, emerald green

D7 C Csus4 C

And those pearl earrings, from the magazine

C/G D7/F#

I kiss the kids, on the head

D7 C Csus4 C

It’s time for dinner, it’s time for bed

[Chorus]

F G C

So I can see you better, better when the lights go out

F G C

We’re so close together, tryin’ not to be too loud

F G C

We still dream together, even if we’re older now

F G C

I see you better, better when the lights go out
