[Verse 1]
    E               A               E              A
You can't chase the darkness with a bright, bright light
           C#m      B                     A       E
'Cause the sunshine burns you up when you get too high
    E          A               E    A
You can't cure loneliness with company
       C#m             B                 A       E
If you really knew yourself, you'd never get lonely

[Pre-Chorus]
     C#m           B             A     E
It's not a ride if you never get off
           C#m      B               A*
It's not a marathon if you run in a race that don't stop

[Chorus]
      E           A
I was killing the pain
         E          A
The only way I knew how
    C#m          B           A   E
But baby, I know better now
      E             A
Oh, I loved you the way
         E          A
The only way I knew how
    C#m            B           A   E
But I can love you better now

[Verse 2]
   E       A                E       A
We look so perfect from the outside in
            C#m             B                         A     E
But you can tear down those walls, you know they were paper thin
       E            A             E          A
If the weight's too heavy, let it break your heart
C#m            B                A         E
That's how you learn the art of falling apart

[Chorus]
      E           A
I was killing the pain
         E          A
The only way I knew how
    C#m          B           A   E
But baby, I know better now
      E             A
Oh, I loved you the way
         E          A
The only way I knew how
    C#m            B           A   E
But I can love you better now

[Bridge]
               E          A  E  A
I can love you better now
                C#m         B  A  E
Let me love you better now
               E          A  E  A
I can love you better now
                C#m         B  A  E
Let me love you better now

[Pre-Chorus]
           C#m         B                 A  E
It's not a party if it happens every day
         C#m           B               A*
It's not medicine if it just makes the symptoms go away

[Chorus]
      E           A
I was killing the pain
         E          A
The only way I knew how
    C#m          B           A   E
But baby, I know better now
      E             A
Oh, I loved you the way
         E          A
The only way I knew how
    C#m            B           A   E
But I can love you better now

[Outro]
               E          A  E  A
I can love you better now
(Can't you feel the change? I am not the same)
                C#m        B  A  E
Let me love you better now
(I am not the same, can't you feel the change?)
               E          A  E  A
I can love you better now
(Can't you feel the change? I am not the same)
                C#m        B  A  E
Let me love you better now
(I am not the same)
