     Make Me Better







Adapted to standard tuning.
 
 
[Verse]
D                          Gmaj7
You made me breakfast every morning
D                      Gmaj7
You made me sleep all through the night
           Bm                  A
You made me worry without any warning
           Gmaj7                     D     A
Let me just lie here, drown in your eyes, dear
 
[Verse]
 
 D                                Gmaj7
You made me sorry but this wasn't always
               D                  Gmaj7
You made me hungry for your body, babe
             Bm               A
You made me run down hospital hallways
             Gmaj7                             D   A
You gave me life, dear, and he's got your eyes
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Gmaj7
I waited so long
      D
Baby, I did you wrong
       A                            Bm A
Let's make up for the time we've wasted
          Gmaj7
You would wait by the phone
        D
Every time I was gone
A
But all along
 
 
[Chorus]
D         G
You are everything
A         D     G
I have never been
     Gmaj7       Bm    A
I want you to make me better
D               G
And I've been wondering
A        D      G
Why you let me in
Gmaj7         Bm       A        D
I want you to make me better
 
 
[Verse]
D                                Gmaj7
You made me stop and savor the moment
            D                Gmaj7
You made me laugh out loud, you do
             Bm                    A
You give me memories like time is frozen
              Gmaj7                          D A
You gave me a child and he's got your smile
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Gmaj7
And I sang a song
D
Every night I was gone
A                            Bm A
About all the dreams I'm chasing
Gmaj7
And I have been wrong
           D
With the things that I've done
         A
'Cause all along
 
 
[Chorus]
D               G
You are everything
A         D    G
I have never been
   Gmaj7        Bm       A
I want you to make me better
D               G
And I've been wondering
A         D     G
Why you let me in
   Gmaj7        Bm       A
I want you to make me better
 
 
[Bridge]
G                         D
Although that I've never read your mind
A                      Bm A
I figured it out on my own
G                        D
I am so glad that I've caught you in time
A                 Bm          A
Before I am left all alone, alone
 
[Chorus]
D           G
You are everything
A        D      G
I have never been
Gmaj7          Bm       A
I want you to make me better
    D             G
So please, my darling
A          D        G
Take this wedding ring
    Gmaj7        Bm    A
I want you to make me better
     D         G
And I've been wondering
A             D      G
Why you ever let me in
   Gmaj7        Bm      A    D G
I want you to make me better
 
 
[Outro]
   Gmaj7      Bm          A D G
I want you to make me better
    Bm        A             D
I want you to make me better

You made me breakfast every morning
You made me sleep all through the night
You made me worry without any warning
Let me just lie here, drown in your eyes, dear
You made me sorry but this wasn't always
You made me hungry for your body, babe
You made me run down hospital hallways
You gave me life, dear, and he's got your eyes
I waited so long
Baby, I did you wrong
Let's make up for the time we've wasted
You would wait by the phone
Every time I was gone
But all along
You are everything
I have never been
I want you to make me better
And I've been wondering
Why you let me in
I want you to make me better
You made me stop and savor the moment
You made me laugh out loud, you do
You give me memories like time is frozen
You gave me a child and he's got your smile
And I sang a song
Every night I was gone
About all the dreams I'm chasing
And I have been wrong
With the things that I've done
'Cause all along
You are everything
I have never been
I want you to make me better
And I've been wondering
Why you let me in
I want you to make me better
Although that I've never read your mind
I figured it out on my own
I am so glad that I've caught you in time
Before I am left all alone, alone
You are everything
I have never been
I want you to make me better
So please, my darling
Take this wedding ring
I want you to make me better
And I've been wondering
Why you ever let me in
I want you to make me better
I want you to make me better
I want you to make me better
