Intro:  Bm  D  Em  G 


Verse 1

Bm                         D                                 Em             G
It?s late in the afternoon the light falls through the window and draws a cross above my bed.

Bm                               D                            Em                 G
Where you're on a different moon where violent winds blow with no course inside your head.

Em                         Bm            D                               A
You think that maybe something wrong with you to make you doubt your love like this.

Em                           Bm             D                       A
Well, I guess I?m singing out this song to you to let you know I think there is.


Chorus
                   Em      G
But you know better than me.

                 Bm            G
You know better than anyone.

                 Em            G
You know better than me.

                 Bm
You know better than me.

 Bm  D  Em  G 


Verse 2

Bm                              D                        Em                          G
"Well, maybe it selfishness" you say "all the promises I?ve broken thoughtlessly. I know
no way to live."

Bm                              D                         Em                           G
"Or, maybe it's mere distress" I say "fear to anyone close enough to see that you got
to give."

Em                     Bm          D                           A
You say you need to travel far away to make you think of something else.

Em                            Bm              D                               A
Well, I think you?d find out if you dared to stay that far away is a place inside yourself.


Chorus
                   Em      G
But you know better than me.

                 Bm            G
You know better than anyone.

                 Em            G
You know better than me.

                 Bm            Bm
You know better than me.


Interlude
C                   Bm            D                        A
Oh, did you ever place a bet? Did you ever gamble anything for love?

C                        Bm  G                       E
Oh, what you give is what you get. And now you know its not enough.

Em                     G          D                           A
You say you need to travel far away to make you think of something else.

Em                            Bm              D                               A
Well, I think you?d find out if you dared to stay that far away is a place inside yourself.


Chorus
                   Em      G
But you know better than me.

                 Bm            G
You know better than anyone.

                 Em            G
You know better than me.

                 Bm
You know better than me.
