Verse I.
C#            Bbm            Ebm
  Don't know where to put you anymore
C#            Bbm           Ebm      Ab
  You can't be kept inside my dresser drawer
        C#            Bbm            Ebm
I find the pieces of you in my dreams
         Ebm Fm F#
And in the evenings

C#          Bbm            Ebm
  Spill out the edge of my mind.
C#            Bbm           Ebm      Ab
  Memories of you feel like they're miles wide
        C#          Bbm            Ebm
It's all I can do to get to the other side
         Ebm Fm F#
Of these evenings

Chorus
              C#                      Ab
I'll see you tonight in the back of my mind
                  Ebm                      Ab
When I remember your skin like I remembered it then
                          C#                  Ab
When you would dress me in white with the look in your eyes
                  Ebm Ebm>F>F#
Knew you'd love me forever
               C#   Bbm   Ebm
Before I ever knew better

C#   Bbm   Ebm

Verse II. (do verse I chords)
Can't see myself back beside you
But I see nobody else
Nobody's perfect but I'm perfectly happy to keep on
Bringing this love down off the shelf.

Chorus
              C#                      Ab
I'll see you tonight in the back of my mind
                  Ebm                      Ab
When I remember your skin like I remembered it then
                          C#                  Ab
When you would dress me in white with the look in your eyes
                  Ebm Ebm>F>F#
Knew you'd love me forever

Before I ever knew..

Bridge
Ab            F#                  C#                     Ab
  Better off, I couldn't say if I'd be better off without a love I live without anyway
        F#                              C#
Better off, oooh. Who knows? See you tonight.

C#  Ab  Ebm  Ab 4x

               C#   Bbm   Ebm
Before I ever knew better
C#   Bbm   Ebm

fingers to the next chord, which is F, then to the next chord, which is F#
