G#m                           G#m7
I know it's not over, baby I worked this out for sure
               B
It's gonna be colder, now you've forced open the door
           B/D#          E
I know you better than I ever have before
       G#m B
I know you

                G#m
I know you're a fighter
                                           B
But you never fought for me when I was a shelter
So you're not heading home to me
             B/D#                 E
We could be closer, we could be closer
         G#m B
We could be

           E
When it's just us
     G#m                              B
You show me what it feels like to be lonely
     F#                               E
You show me what it feels like to be lost
  G#m                               B
I take your hand for you to let it go
                  F#
Let it go, let it go, let it go

           E
When it's just us
     G#m                              B
You show me what it feels like to be lonely
     F#                               E
You show me what it feels like to be lost
  G#m                               B
I take your hand for you to let it go
                  F#
Let it go, let it go, let it go

Chorus:
               E                  G#m
It's going to be, (it's gonna be better)
                                        B
It's going to be better, it's gonna be better
                 F#
It's going to be better
                  E
It's going to be better
                 G#m
It's going to be better
               B
It's going to be
                 F#
It's going to be better
                 G#m
It's going to be better

We'll take a long walk,
down the alleys of these houses
And we'll talk,
see what conversation rouses when we're alone
When we're alone, it could be home

When it's just us
You show me what it feels like to be lonely
You show me what it feels like to be lost
I take your hand for you to let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go

Chorus:
It's going to be, it's gonna be better
It's going to be better, it's gonna be better
It's going to be better
It's going to be better
It's going to be better
It's going to be
It's going to be better
It's going to be better
