Intro: C 

          Am           Dm          G 
Summer is over and her temples are grey 
      Dm              Am                 F        G 
And I guess you'll be looking 'round for somebody new 
   C         Am                   Dm       G 
Or maybe you found him and you're just not saying 
       Dm           Am           F         G 
'Cause he makes you feel the way I used to do

   C                  G             Dm 
Oh babe,    if there's a better way to love you 
      Am         F 
Well, show it to me 
                C        F      G 
'Cause I could not live and let you get away 
        Dm          F          G 
Knowing there was a better way-y 


      C           Am           Dm           G 
Well, out on that highway, the mean wind is screaming 
       Dm         Am                  F          G 
And it cuts right through you and the rain bites hard 
    C          Am           Dm            G 
But I'd walk beside you, to share in your dreaming 
    Dm             Am            F           G 
And while you were sleeping, I'd be standing guard

    C                  G             Dm 
Now babe,    if there's a better way to love you 
      Am         F 
Well, show it to me 
                C        F      G 
'Cause I could not live and let you get away 
        Dm          F          G 
Knowing there was a better way-y 


      C               Am        Dm           G 
Well, hard roads bust open with bitter words spoken 
    Dm            Am          F        G 
And hearts can be broken, and dreams undone 
    C             Am          Dm            G 
But hearts can be mended, and hard words forgotten 
    Dm           Am          F            G 
And roads return often where they started from

    C                  G             Dm 
So babe,     if there's a better way to love you 
      Am         F 
Well, show it to me 
                C        F      G 
'Cause I could not live and let you get away 
        Dm          F          G 
Knowing there was a better way-y 
  

      C          Am            Dm        G 
Death came to my window in the form of a maiden 
    Dm             Am                F               G 
But she didn't say nothing, she just stood and stared 
     C           Am           Dm         G 
And 'round about midnight she lay down beside me 
    Dm      Am              F      G 
But when I awoke, there was nobody there

   C                  G             Dm 
Oh babe,    if there's a better way to love you 
      Am         F 
Well, show it to me 
                C        F      G 
'Cause I could not live and let you get away 
        Dm          F          G 
Knowing there was a better way-y
