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

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

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

Em                                 Hm          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.

                     Hm         G
You know better than anyone.

                     Em         G
You know better than me.

                     Hm
You know better than me.

Verse 2

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

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

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

Em                                  Hm            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.

                     Hm         G
You know better than anyone.

                     Em         G
You know better than me.

                     Hm         Hm
You know better than me.

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

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