        F#+
There's nobody better than you
   A#m7
It took me a while till I knew
        F#+
But you knew from the start it was us, didn't you?
        C#
It just took me a while till I knew

      F#
Now I lay as I study a blank wall
          A#m7
Would you spare me your voice if I call?
           F#+
'Cause you waited and watered my heart till it grew
         C#
You just grew a little smarter too

Chorus:
   A#m      G#       C#     D#m
So I don't blame you if you want to
A#m             G#          F#             D#m
Bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl I ought to be, but
A#m7   G#       C#        D#m
Maybe when you tell your friends, you
     A#m                G#             F#              D#m
Can tell them what you saw in me, and not how I turned out to be

There's some kind of burning inside me
It's kept me from falling apart
And I'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart
But it's kept me from falling apart

Now here I lay, as I wonder about you
Would you just tell me what I'm meant to do?
'Cause I've waited and watered my heart till it grew
You can see how it's blossomed for you

Chorus:
And I don't blame you if you want to
Bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl I ought to be, but
Maybe when you tell your friends, you
Can tell them what you saw in me, and not the way I am

    Bm       D
And I don't mean to make your heart blue
    Bm                      D
But could we be what we're meant to be?
     G             Em
I'm just about to beg you please
     Bm            G
And then when you tell your friends
         Bm                 D
You can tell them what you saw in me
     G            Em
And not the way I used to be

D               G                  D
'Cause there's nobody better than you
