[G] When I go home alone
I drive past the place where I was born
[F] And the places that I used to drink
[Am] Young and drunk and stumbling in the street
Outside the Joiners Arms like [G] foals unsteady on their feet
[G] With the art students and the boys in bands
[G] High on E and holding hands with [F] someone that I just met
[G] I thought, "It doesn't get [F] better than this
There can be nothing [Am] better than this, [G] better than this."
[G] And we climbed onto the roof of the museum
And someone made [F] love in the grass
[Am] And I forgot my name
And the way back to my [G] mother's house
[G] With your black pool eyes and your bitten lips
[G] The world is at your fingertips
[F] It doesn't get [Am] better than this
What else could be [G] better than this?
[G] Oh, do you know what I have seen?
I have seen the [F] fields aflame
[Am] And everything I ever did
Was just [G] another way to scream your name
[G] Over and over and over and over [F] again
[Am] Over and over and over and over [G] again
[G] And we're just children wanting children of our own
I want a [F] space to watch things grow
But [Am] did I dream too big? Do I have to [G] let it go?
And what if one day there is no such thing as [F] snow?
Oh God, what do I [Am] [G] know?
And I don't know anything
Except that green is so green
And there's a special kind of sadness that seems to come with spring
[G] Oh, do you know what I have seen?
I have seen the [F] fields aflame
[Am] And everything I ever did
Was just [G] another way to scream your name
[G] Over and over and over and over [F] again
[Am] Over and over and over and over [G] again
[G] Oh, do you know what I have seen?
I have seen the [F] fields aflame
[Am] But everything I ever did
Was just [G] another way to scream your name
