A Better Way

Capo: 2nd Fret
[Verse One]
G
It wasn't anything great
D
Wasn't remarkable at all
C G
Wasn't the kind of memory you'd ever write down
The drifting sideways breeze
D
And the miles under our feet
C G D/F#
Made it something special, something more
Em7 Cadd9
You were quiet, I was loud
Em7 D
Between the calm and the fury we found
[Chorus]
G
A better way to be
D
Rise above and move along
C G
Something more than just "you & me"
G
Hard to explain
D
It’s like the colors of a song
C C
But I knew, like I’d never known before
[Verse Two]
G
Sunsets on the beach
D
Shadows fall upon your face
C G
Just a simple touch of your hand
Another moment lost to time
D
Feel the sand drift in the waves
C G D/F#
A reason to let go and just be free
Em7 Cadd9
You were there, I was there
Em7 D
And in those quiet little places we found
[Chorus]
G
A better way to be
D
Rise above and move along
C G
Something more than just "you & me"
G
Hard to explain
D
It’s like the colors of a song
C C
But I knew, like I’d never known before
