Lori McKenna - Better With Time
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
It’s an old song, but I still know all the words
It's an Emold ring, but it fits me just right
It's an Amold picture of us hanging in the hallwayD  
We walk by it every night
[Verse 2]
The Ghouse is gonna need a new roof this summer
They Emclosed down the drive-in last yearAm  
The church bells still ring on SundayD  
They're just getting harder to hear
[Chorus]
CSometimes it's still gonna Emrain
GGod knows, we're still gonna Dfight
We're Cbroken and patched up, in Emways
It takes a Gcrazy kind of love to surDvive
These days, Amnothing's made to lastG  
The world keeps changing its Cmind___
But you and GID  
We're getting better with Gtime
[Verse 3]
My left hand still fits into your right hand
I Emmemorized every line that's on your face
And I Ammay have been the cause of some of those scarsD  
There's not many I'd erase
[Verse 4]
It's a Gworn-out shirt, but it's my favourite
It Emstill looks damn good on you
You Amwhispered something in my ear last night
Some Dyears ago you wouldn't have thought to
[Chorus]
CSometimes it's still gonna Emrain
GGod knows, we're still gonna Dfight
We're Cbroken and patched up, in Emways
It takes a Gcrazy kind of love to surDvive
These days, Amnothing's made to lastG  
The world keeps changing its Cmind___
But you and GID  
We're getting better with Gtime
[Instrumental]
G   C     G   D
[Chorus]
CSometimes it's still gonna Emrain
GGod knows, we're still gonna Dfight
We're Cbroken and patched up, in Emways
It takes a Gcrazy kind of love to surDvive
These days, Amnothing's made to lastG  
The world keeps changing its Cmind___
But you and GID  
We're getting better with Gtime
Getting better with time

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

It’s an old song, but I still know all the words

It's an old ring, but it fits me just right

Am D

It's an old picture of us hanging in the hallway

We walk by it every night

[Verse 2]

The house is gonna need a new roof this summer

Em Am

They closed down the drive-in last year

The church bells still ring on Sunday

They're just getting harder to hear

[Chorus]

C Em

Sometimes it's still gonna rain

G D

God knows, we're still gonna fight

C Em

We're broken and patched up, in ways

G D

It takes a crazy kind of love to survive

Am G

These days, nothing's made to last

The world keeps changing its mind___

G D

But you and I

We're getting better with time

[Verse 3]

My left hand still fits into your right hand

I memorized every line that's on your face

Am D

And I may have been the cause of some of those scars

There's not many I'd erase

[Verse 4]

It's a worn-out shirt, but it's my favourite

It still looks damn good on you

You whispered something in my ear last night

Some years ago you wouldn't have thought to

[Chorus]

Sometimes it's still gonna rain

God knows, we're still gonna fight

We're broken and patched up, in ways
