criticism, let me know

Verse 1:
A               F             G
 Hey my friend  it seems your eyes are troubled
C    B  G     F         G
care to share your time with me
A                            F        G
would you say you're feeling low and so
       C  B  G               F                  G
a good i-----dea would be to get it off your mind


Chorus:
A              C#        F#              E
  See, you and me have a   better time   than most can dream
        D                    C#             B
have it better than the best so can pull on through
A        C#          F#       E
whatever tears at us whatever holds us down
       D                    C#                     B
and if nothing can be done  we'll make the best of what's around


Bridge:
A G F# F x2


Verse 2:
A         C#        B       G
turns out not where but who you're with
                  A   G F# F                  A   G F# F
that really mat---ters        that really mat---ters
A   C#        B         G              A
and hurts not much when you're around  when you?re around


Verse 1:
A                         F                 G
and if you hold on tight  to what you think is your thing
C   B   G    F              G
you may find you're missing all the rest
A                    F         G
well she ran up into the light surprised
    C   B  G         F              G
her ar--ms are open  her mind's eye is


Chorus:
A               C#      F#          E
  seeing things from a  better side than most can dream
     D                    C#                     B
on a clearer road I feel  oh you could say she's safe
A        C#            F#       E
whatever tears at her  whatever holds her down
       D                    C#                      B
and if nothing can be done  she'll make the best of what's around


Chorus/Outro:
A               C#     F#           E                   D
Hey   la, la    Oh, oh hey la   Oh, oh hey la       Oh  oh hey la
B
Hey  la
A           C#        F#        E          D      B
Oh, oh, hey la   Oh, oh hey la   Oh  oh hey la     Hey  la
