[Intro]

[Verse]

Bm Em D G

Who put these lines across my face?

Bm Em D G

I thought I meant it when I said I’d age with grace

Bm Em D G

Laid out my years across your floor

Bm Em D G

My legs are tired I’m not running anymore

Bm Em D G

When I get down I need you here

Bm Em D G

Cause there’s a demon, there’s a desert, there’s a fear

Bm Em D G

When I lay down to sleep alone

Bm Em D G

I am extinguished, I am expired, I am old

[Chorus]

C G

But I’ll get better whenever

C G

I’ll get better whenever

[Interlude]

G D G/B G

Am Bm C

[Bridge]

So grab your bike, a car, a train

Or plane, and just get back to me

Or I can drive or pay for flights

Meet me anywhere tonight

I’ll bring us beers or books or songs

I’ll sing and you could sing along

Or sit and smoke or laugh or cry

Pull your hair back from your eyes

Have another drink with me

We’ll toast to our obscurity

You’ll lean in and I’ll calm down

I’ll hemorrhage my neuroses out

If you would let me stick around

I’ll follow you all the way down

And I’ll tell you like you never knew

How good it feels to breathe and speak

G D G/B G

And hear and see and live and love with you

[Interlude]

G D G/B G

[Chorus]

C G D G/B G

I’ll get better whenever

C G D G/B G

I’ll get better whenever
