Best Of My Love chords

C Dm

Every night I'm lying in bed

Holding you close in my dreams

Thinking about all the things that we said

And coming apart at the seams

Em Dm

We try to talk it over

Em F

But the words come out too rough

I know you were trying

Dm C G7

To give me the best of your love

Beautiful faces and loud, empty places

Look at the way that we live

Wasting our time on cheap talk and wine

Left us so little to give

That same old crowd

Was like a cold dark cloud

Em F

That we could never rise above

C Dm C G7

But here in my heart I give you the best of my love

C Dm

Oh oh oh ohhhh sweet darling, you get the best of my love,

C Dm C G7

oh oh oh ohhhh sweet darling, you get the best of my love

Fm7

I'm going back in time

And it's a sweet dream

Fm7

It was a quiet night

And I would be all right

Dm G7

If I could go on sleeping

But every morning

I wake up and worry

What's gonna happen today

You see it your way

And I see it mine

But we both see it slipping away

Em Dm

You know we always had each other baby

Em Dm G7

I guess that wasn't enough

C Dm C G7

But here in my heart I give you the best of my love

C Dm

Oh oh oh ohhhh sweet darling, you get the best of my love,

C Dm C G7

oh oh oh ohhhh sweet darling, you get the best of my love 3x
