A  E  B

[Verse 1]
     C#m                   A                 E
The silver screen couldn't hold all that you had
              B             C#m
You made such beautiful messes
             A             B
But now it's time to go to bed
E            C#m            A
Heaven's got one more angel
E             B              C#m  A
One more nightmares come to rest
           E          B
I guess it is for the best

[Chorus 1]
      C#m          A
But I wish you had known
     E             B
This town couldn't save you
   C#m   A
Oh I had hoped
   E               G#
My love would have made you
C#m     A
Better, better
E         B
Oh you're free now
C#m                   B
Time will take its toll
        G#
On what you owe

[Verse 2]
C#m             A              E
Gossip's gospel in this little world
              B         C#m
You taste the beautiful girls
              A              E
You come down hard and go to bed
    B
The visions simmer
C#m        A
In your head
E          B
In your head
           C#m  A
Close your eyes
     B                 G#
With tomorrow you will fly

[Chorus 2]
      C#m          A
But I wish you had known
     E             B
This town couldn't save you
   C#m   A
Oh I had hoped
   E               G#
My love would have made you
C#m     A
Better, better
E         B
Oh you're free now
C#m                   B
Time will take its toll
        G#
On what you owe
C#m   A
Better
            E     B
Do you feel better?
C#m   A
Better
            E      B
Do you feel better?

[Chorus 3]
      C#m          A
But I wish you had known
     E             B
This town couldn't save you
   C#m   A
Oh I had hoped
   E               G#
My love would have made you
C#m     A
Better, better
E         B
Oh you're free now
C#m                   B
Time will take its toll
        G#
On what you owe
