C
I never knew perfection till
  C  
I heard you speak, and now it kills me
F
Just to hear you say the simple things
    C
Now waking up is hard to do
     C  
And sleeping is impossible too
F                             Bb
Everything is reminding me of you
Bb
What can I do?

C               C  
It’s not right, not OK
Am      Am7            D7 
Say the words that you say
            F
Maybe we’re better off this way?
C            C        
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
Am          Am7     D7
It’s harder everyday
             F
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break…

   C 
a fool to let you slip away
   C  
I chase you just to hear you say
       F
You’re scared and that you think that I’m insane

     C
The city look so nice from here
C  
Pity I can’t see it clearly
F                                    Bb
While you’re standing there, it disappears
It disappears

C               C  
It’s not right, not OK
Am      Am7            D7 
Say the words that you say
            F
Maybe we’re better off this way?
C            C        
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
Am          Am7     D7
It’s harder everyday
             F
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break…

F                     G
Saw you sitting all alone
         F                 G  
You’re fragile and you’re cold, but that’s all right
F
Life these days is getting rough
         G
They’ve knocked you down and beat you up
          Am                   G
But it’s just a rollercoaster anyway, yeah

C               C  
It’s not right, not OK
Am      Am7            D7 
Say the words that you say
            F
Maybe we’re better off this way?
C            C        
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
Am          Am7     D7
It’s harder everyday
             F
Maybe we’re better off this way?

C               C  
It’s not right, not OK
Am      Am7            D7 
Say the words that you say
            F
Maybe we’re better off this way?
C            C        
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
Am          Am7     D7
It’s harder everyday
             F
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break…baby

Hey strummers! Just a few suggestions.
1. Transpose to -2, of it is too low for your voice, put a capo on the 2nd fret.
2.The only relatively unfamiliar chord is Dsus4, and I would recommend subbing it with a d chord, sounds great!!
3. I do not mean to say that Dsus4 is hard for everybody, I have been playing uke for 7 years, everybody’s skill level is different.
4. Have fun!
Thanks,
Enjoy.

Noice ??

Lillypotter

DDUDU is a good strumming pattern

Party Panda

it is much easier if you do C F Am G through the whole song. Such a pretty song dogh

I transposed to -2 but used G instead of G7sus4, used the strumming pattern DD UDU for the verse and DDUUDU for the chorus. Hope this helps 😀

Hi

I play A instead of A7sus4 and it sounds way better in my opinion.

vvv

+5 is cool

Abby

Replacing A7sus4 with just an A chord sounds much better

olives

the A7sus4 sounds a little weird?
