    You Should Know Better ...

Em                 G
I am putting every lie,
              C
In alphabetic file,
Starting with;
D              Em
'All I need is you',
            G
'Baby don't go',
            C
'Come back inside',
             D
'Don't leave tonight'.

        Em
Because I'm so close to letting go,
   G
Of everything we have,
    C                           D
And I'm too tired to start over again.


                       F
Because everything you said, To me,
    C                G
You said to bring me down,
                   F
And everything you meant, To me,
      C             G
Means nothing to me now,
                            Am  
And I'm on my way out.

                               C 
Show me on a scale from one to ten,
                     G
Just how far did you bend,
                    F
Till this became an act,
                      Am
You practiced on your back.
                   C
You got the timing right,
                    G
And played it every night,
              F
Then left me to decide.
              Am
Now it takes, All I have,
   C
To hold you back,
    G
And I, Won't act,
    F
To your invitation no more.
Am
All I have,
C
To hold you back
   G                 F
And end this without hesitation.

                       Am 
Because everything you said, To me,
    C                G
You said to bring me down,
                     Am
And everything you meant, To me,
      C             G
Means nothing to me now,          
And I'm on my way out.

Am                 C
I am putting every lie,
               F
In alphabetic file,
Starting with;
G              Am
'All I need is you',
           En
'Baby don't go',
          F
'Come back inside',
             G
'Don't leave tonight'.

            Am 
Now I've no intention,
             C
I'm tired of shouting at shadows,
    F                 G
And trying to see the stars,
    Am                    C                     F
And all I can see are the clouds underneath the storm,
         G             Am C F G x2
But it's already over.

(It's already over)

                       Am 
Because everything you said, To me,
    C                G
You said to bring me down,
                     Am
And everything you meant, To me,
      C             G
Means nothing to me now,
                  F         
And I'm on my way out.
             Em
You bring me down
                       Am
Because everything you meant to me,
      F             G
Means nothing to me now.
