[Verse 1]
GWhen I go home alone
I drive past the place where I was born
FAnd the places that I used to drink
AmYoung and drunk and stumbling in the street
Outside the Joiners Arms like Gfoals unsteady on their feet
GWith the art students and the boys in bands
GHigh on E and holding hands with Fsomeone that I just met
[Refrain]
GI thought, "It doesn't get Fbetter than this
There can be nothing Ambetter than this, Gbetter than this."
[Verse 2]
GAnd we climbed onto the roof of the museum
And someone made Flove in the grass
AmAnd I forgot my name
And the way back to my Gmother's house
GWith your black pool eyes and your bitten lips
GThe world is at your fingertips
[Refrain]
FIt doesn't get Ambetter than this
What else could be Gbetter than this?
[Chorus]
GOh, do you know what I have seen?
I have seen the Ffields aflame
AmAnd everything I ever did
Was just Ganother way to scream your name
[Post-Chorus]
GOver and over and over and over Fagain
AmOver and over and over and over Gagain
[Verse 3]
GAnd we're just children wanting children of our own
I want a Fspace to watch things grow
But Amdid I dream too big? Do I have to Glet it go?
And what if one day there is no such thing as snow?F  
Oh God, what do I Amknow?G  
[Interlude]
N.C.
And I don't know anything
N.C.
Except that green is so green
N.C.
And there's a special kind of sadness that seems to come with spring
[Chorus]
GOh, do you know what I have seen?
I have seen the Ffields aflame
AmAnd everything I ever did
Was just Ganother way to scream your name
[Post-Chorus]
GOver and over and over and over Fagain
AmOver and over and over and over Gagain
[Chorus]
GOh, do you know what I have seen?
I have seen the Ffields aflame
AmBut everything I ever did
Was just Ganother way to scream your name

[Verse 1]

When I go home alone

I drive past the place where I was born

And the places that I used to drink

Young and drunk and stumbling in the street

Outside the Joiners Arms like foals unsteady on their feet

With the art students and the boys in bands

G F

High on E and holding hands with someone that I just met

[Refrain]

G F

I thought, "It doesn't get better than this

Am G

There can be nothing better than this, better than this."

[Verse 2]

And we climbed onto the roof of the museum

And someone made love in the grass

And I forgot my name

And the way back to my mother's house

With your black pool eyes and your bitten lips

The world is at your fingertips

[Refrain]

F Am

It doesn't get better than this

What else could be better than this?

[Chorus]

Oh, do you know what I have seen?

I have seen the fields aflame

And everything I ever did

Was just another way to scream your name

[Post-Chorus]

G F

Over and over and over and over again

Am G

Over and over and over and over again

[Verse 3]

And we're just children wanting children of our own

I want a space to watch things grow

Am G

But did I dream too big? Do I have to let it go?

And what if one day there is no such thing as snow?

Am G

Oh God, what do I know?

[Interlude]

N.C.

And I don't know anything

N.C.

Except that green is so green

N.C.

And there's a special kind of sadness that seems to come with spring

[Chorus]

Oh, do you know what I have seen?

I have seen the fields aflame

And everything I ever did

Was just another way to scream your name

[Post-Chorus]

G F

Over and over and over and over again

Am G

Over and over and over and over again

[Chorus]

Oh, do you know what I have seen?

I have seen the fields aflame

But everything I ever did

Was just another way to scream your name
