verse 1 
Am           C                 G            F 
Find me at a quarter to three, cigarette in hand 
Am        C            G                 F 
I'd be at every party, I wouldn't miss a chance 
Am          C                G                     F 
New friends again and again, gone when the morning comes 
Am       C                  G              F 
Demons I try to defend, but I couldn't get enough 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Am           C 
Fading away, fading away 
G                       F 
Wake up to someone with nothing to say 
Am                        C 
I'd never change, thought I'd never change 
NC 
Then you come and change it all 
 
          Am         C           G                   F 
With your love, your love, I'm a better, better man 
          Am         C           G                   F 
With your love, your love, I'm a better, better man 
         Am                     C 
Darling, all of my wrongs, they lead me right to you 
G                       F 
Wrapped in your arms, I swear I'd die for 
     Am         C           G                   F 
Your love, your love, I'm a better, better man 
 
Am   C   G   F 
 
verse 2 
Am                    C 
Thought I'd found the highest of highs 
G                        F 
You came and topped them all 
Am               C 
You shine in the dead of the night 
G                      F 
And I was the first to fall 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Am           C 
Fading away, fading away 
G                       F 
Wake up to someone with nothing to say 
C                         Em 
I'd never change, thought I'd never change 
G                           Am 
Then you come and change it all 
 
          Am         C           G                   F 
With your love, your love, I'm a better, better man 
          Am         C           G                   F 
With your love, your love, I'm a better, better man 
         Am                     C 
Darling, all of my wrongs, they lead me right to you 
G                       F 
Wrapped in your arms, I swear I'd die for 
     Am         C           G                   F 
Your love, your love, I'm a better, better man
