[Verse 1]

C                             Dm
Every night I'm lying in bed, holding you close in my dreams,
C                                              Dm
thinking about all the things that we said and coming apart at the seams.
Em                  Dm            Em                 F/G*
  We try to talk it over, but the words come out too rough,
  C                       Dm                       C       G  G/F G/E G/D
I know you were trying to give me the best of your love.

[Verse 2]

C                                      Dm
Beautiful faces and loud empty places,   look at the way that we live,
C                                        Dm
wasting our time on cheap talk and wine,   left us so little to give.
     Em                        Dm                   Em                   Dm       G*
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud that we could never rise above,
    C                  Dm                      C       G  G/F G/E G/D
but here in my heart I give you the best of my love.

[Chorus]

          C                        Dm
Oh-oh-oh, ohhhh, sweet darlin', ()  you get the best of my love.
          C                       Dm
Oh-oh-oh, ohhhh, sweet darlin', ()  you get the best of my love.

[Bridge]

Fm                                  C
  I'm going back in time and it's a sweet dream,
         Fm                                              Dm* Em* G*
it was a quiet night and I would be all right if I could go  on  sleeping.

[Verse 3]

    C                                 Dm
But every morning I wake up and worry   what's gonna happen today?
C                                            Dm
You see it your way and I see it mine but we both see it slipping away.
Em                            Dm          Em                     Dm     G G/F G/E G/D
  You know we always had each other baby,   I guess that wasn't enough; o-o-ohh.

[End-Chorus]

          C                     Dm
Oh-oh-oh, ohhhh, sweet darlin',   you get the best of my love.
          C                     Dm
Oh-oh-oh, ohhhh, sweet darlin',   you get the best of my love.
          C                     Dm
Oh-oh-oh, ohhhh, sweet darlin',   you get the best of my love.
          C                     Dm
Oh-oh-oh, ohhhh, sweet darlin',   you get the best of my love.
          C
Oh-oh-oh, ohhhh.
