E C#m7 I grew up learning from the best of me E A And I'm still not sure just who I am supposed to be Am So hold me again E C#m Before I fall F#m Hold tight Bsus4 Hold tight I hung back in the shadows and periphery And you took my hand through the bright lights when they blinded me You kissed me again, you pulled me in close You smiled, so I smiled Chorus: E 'Cause everything's better C#m7 As soon as you're next to me F#m I know I'll fall apart B But you'll fix me with your heart E Everything's better C#m You there in the fight with me F#m And when I fail to start B You'll fix me with your heart I grew up trying to hit light speed But I lost my nerve when the big kids kicked it out of me You saved me the sin, of getting lost in My mind, my mind Chorus E Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh C#m Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh B Ooh, ooh A You feel this in your feet B We were dancing in the street C#m B F#m And you looked the deepest darkness in the air A We missed the last bus home B Found a park bench for a throne E B/D# C#m And the stars stayed out tonight A B And everything's better, everything's better Chorus: Yeah, everything's better As soon as you're next to me I know I'll fall apart But you fix me with your heart Everything's better You're there in the fight with me And when I fail to start You fix me with your heart Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I'm better with you Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I'm better with you You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  C#m  C#m7  D#  E  F#m  B  Bsus4  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
