Verse I.
C#5            Bb5            Eb5
  Don't know where to put you anymore
C#5            Bb5           Eb5      Ab5
  You can't be kept inside my dresser drawer
        C#5            Bb5            Eb5
I find the pieces of you in my dreams
         Eb5 F5 F#5
And in the evenings

C#5          Bb5            Eb5
  Spill out the edge of my mind.
C#5            Bb5           Eb5      Ab5
  Memories of you feel like they're miles wide
        C#5          Bb5            Eb5
It's all I can do to get to the other side
         Eb5 F5 F#5
Of these evenings

Chorus
              C#5                      Ab5
I'll see you tonight in the back of my mind
                  Eb5                      Ab5
When I remember your skin like I remembered it then
                          C#5                  Ab5
When you would dress me in white with the look in your eyes
                  Eb5 Ebm>F>F#5
Knew you'd love me forever
               C#5   Bb5   Eb5
Before I ever knew better

C#5   Bb5   Eb5

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#5                      Ab5
I'll see you tonight in the back of my mind
                  Eb5                      Ab5
When I remember your skin like I remembered it then
                          C#5                  Ab5
When you would dress me in white with the look in your eyes
                  Eb5 Ebm>F>F#5
Knew you'd love me forever

Before I ever knew..

Bridge
Ab5            F#5                  C#5                     Ab5
  Better off, I couldn't say if I'd be better off without a love I live without anyway
        F#5                              C#5
Better off, oooh. Who knows? See you tonight.

C#5  Ab5  Eb5  Ab5 4x

               C#5   Bb5   Eb5
Before I ever knew better
C#5   Bb5   Eb5

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