Verse 
 
           Bm     D              A 
Yeah there were times When I was lonely 
      Bm              D             A 
And I lay here like a ghost Upon my bed 
        Bm               D                A 
I never thought about my friends  I never called up anyone 
      Bm           D             A 
I was happy hiding out Inside my head 
 
Verse -  
Bm  D  A  
 

And then you came along 

And loved me all up 

First you calmed me down 

And then you took my hand 

And as we lay under the sky 

And watched the planes go by 

Well I knew I?d never be 

The same again 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 

C#m  F#m    D 
Slow down I want to go with you 
C#m   F#m   D 
Can?t we wait here awhile 
C#m 
And Ill watch you smile 
B 
And we?ll hide away 
B 
And let all the world go by 
 
Chorus 
A       E 
No more reasons why  
F#m                  B 
We sit and count The tears we cry 
B 
Sit and count the tears 
D              E 
Always getting better 
D              E 
Always getting better 
A         E 
Leave the lonely days 
F#m                      B 
Close your eyes Let them drift away 
B 
Sit and count the tears 
D              E 
Always getting better 
D              E 
Always getting better

Verse - Bm  D  A 
I have thought about your leaving For a long time now 

And I guess that in the end I?ll be right 

But the blackness of your hair 

The way your smile hits me Everywhere 

These are the things That come to me at night 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 

C#m  F#m    D 
Slow down I want to go with you 
C#m  F#m    D 
Can?t we wait here awhile 
C#m 
And Ill watch you smile 
B 
Come pouring in 
B 
As we let all the world go by 
 
 
Chorus  
 
No more reason why 
We sit and Count the tears we cry 
Always getting better 
Always getting better 
 
Leave the lonely days 
Close your eyes Let them drift away 
Always getting better 
Always getting better 
 
Lie down again  
watch Moonlight streaming in 
Always getting better 
Always getting better
