[Bm] All [D] along to make [G] me better
[D] [A]
But we're not so [G] starry-eyed anymore [D] Like a [G] black pair of [D] more you were in your [A] letters
Won't it all just come [G]
around and make [D] you Let [G] it all and break [D] you to the day [A]
you met her
Did it make [G] you better Did it make [Bm] you better

Make [A] me blind
Cause we're not so [G] starry-eyed [D] anymore Like a perfect pair of [D] more you were in [A] your letters
Won't it all just come [G]
around and make [D] you Let [G] it all and break [D] you to the day that [A] you met her
