Better

(intro) Dm5   D#   Dm5   D#

Am
So blinded by my own desire
D#                            F
I blew out our loves first fire
Am
A part of my life has been wasted
D#                     F
By choosing to live recklessly

D#                      D   C   
How did it come to this!?
D   C

D#                                
But still your arms are wide open 
D   C   D   C
for me

Am
You know I feel dirty
D#                                
but you've filled your heart with 
     F
my needs
Am
My life is so broken
D#                                F
But you long to put me back together

How did it come to this!?

D#                             
I can't stand living without you 
        D
near

D9      Bb           F
Better is one day in your courts
         G        D
Than a thousand elsewhere

Am
I cry out for help 'cos
           D#                      
I lack the strength, purpose to 
   F
live
Am
From all of the choices I'll take 
the only one
D#                        F
That can change me deep within

D#                     D   C   D   C
How did it come to this!?
D#                               D9
only you can help me, you alone

G#       C#m
I was enslaved by my heart
       A9                          
Then you broke the chains, and 
      E
freed me from all my pride
G#                         C#m   
And now I'd rather live at your 
        A9
door
                         E         
Than starve in the rotten wealth of
           G#
 this EARTH

C#m           A9
Better is one day in your courts--

D9      Bb           F
Better is one day in your courts
         G        D
Than a thousand elsewhere ...
