Capo 1
C5            A5            D5
  Don't know where to put you anymore
C5            A5           D5      G5
  You can't be kept inside my dresser drawer
        C5            A5            D5
I find the pieces of you in my dreams
         D5 E5 F5
And in the evenings

C5          A5            D5
  Spill out the edge of my mind.
C5            A5           D5      G5
  Memories of you feel like they're miles wide
        C5          A5            D5
It's all I can do to get to the other side
         D5 E5 F5
Of these evenings

Chorus
              C5                      G5
I'll see you tonight in the back of my mind
                  D5                      G5
When I remember your skin like I remembered it then
                          C5                  G5
When you would dress me in white with the look in your eyes
                  D5 D5 E5 F5
Knew you'd love me forever
               C5   A5   D5
Before I ever knew better

C5   A5   D5

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
              C5                      G5
I'll see you tonight in the back of my mind
                  D5                      G5
When I remember your skin like I remembered it then
                          C5                  G5
When you would dress me in white with the look in your eyes
                  D5 D5 E5 F5
Knew you'd love me forever

Before I ever knew..

Bridge
G5            F5                  C5                     G5
  Better off, I couldn't say if I'd be better off without a love I live without anyway
        F5                              C5
Better off, oooh. Who knows? See you tonight.

C5  G5  D5  G5 4x

               C5   A5   D5
Before I ever knew better
