Better

Intro: Dm5  D#  Dm5  D#

Em
So blinded by my own desire
D#                            F
I blew out our loves first fire
Em
A part of my life has been wasted
D#                     F
By choosing to live recklessly

D#          F            Dm   C   Dm   C
How did it come to this!?
D#                                Dm   C   Dm   C
But still your arms are wide open for me

Em
You know I feel dirty
D#                                            F
but you've filled your heart with my needs
Em
My life is so broken
D#                                F
But you long to put me back together

D#         F             Dm   C   Dm   C
How did it come to this!?
D#                                     Dm
I can't stand living without you near

Dm      Bb           F
Better is one day in your courts
         Gm        Dm
Than a thousand elsewhere

Em
I cry out for help 'cos
           D#                         F
I lack the strength, purpose to live
Em
From all of the choices I'll take the only one
D#                        F
That can change me deep within

D#                     Dm   C   Dm   C
How did it come to this!?
D#                               Dm
only you can help me, you alone

G#       C#m
I was enslaved by my heart
       A9                                E                           G#
Then you broke the chains, and freed me from all my pride
                         C#m           A9
And now I'd rather live at your door
                         E                        G#
Than starve in the rotten wealth of this EARTH

C#m           A9
Better is one day in your courts

( Dm  Bb  F  Gm  Dm )
