Bm* D* G* (x2) (some sliding included)
[Verse 1]
Bm* D*
I want you, thin fingers
G*
I wanted you, thin fingernails
Bm* D*
And when you bend backwards
G* Bm*
I wanted you, I needed you, ohh
D* G*
To make me better
Bm* D*
I'll love you in springtime
G*
I lost you when summer came
Bm* D*
And when you pulled backwards
G* Bm*
I wanted to, I needed to, ohh
D* G*
To make me better
Bm* D* G*
Ohh, to make me better
[Chorus]
A G D
But we're not so starry-eyed anymore
G D A G
Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
A G D
And won't it all just come around to make you
G D A
Let it all un-break you to the day you met her
G
But it'd make you better
Bm* D* G*
It'd make you better
[Verse 2]
Bm* D*
I sung you your twinges
G*
I suffered you your tattle-tales
Bm* D*
And when you broke sideways
G* Bm*
I wanted you, I needed you, ohh

To make me better
Bm* D* G*
Ohh, to make me better
[Chorus 2]

And it'd make you better
Bm G D A (2x)
Did it make you better
[Bridge]
Bm G D A
And all I wanted was a sliver to call mine
Bm G D
And all I wanted was a shimmer of your shine
A
To make me bright
[Chorus]
A G D
Cause we're not so starry-eyed anymore
G D A G
Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters
A G D
And won't it all just come around to make you
G D A
Let it all un-break you to the day you met her
G
But it'd make you better
Bm* D* G*
It'd make you better?
