Paloma Faith & Jonas Blue

INTRO:   Bm A F#m G D Bm A

VERSE ONE:
Bm                              A
When the lights in my street go out and
F#m                 G
All the people lie sleeping under clouds and
D         Bm            A
They're dreaming of better than this
Bm                                  A
Then my brother calls me and he's sayin'
A                     F#m      G            D         Bm           A
"Oh, I can hear the angels praying that we can do better than this"


PRE-CHORUS:
G               A
'Cause I saw a mountain I thought "It's too high"
F#m                  Bm          A
I heard the birds whisper "You can't fly"
A               Bm
I saw you and I knew I can do better than this, better than this

G                   A
I heard a language I thought I can't speak
F#m              Bm                  A
I saw an ocean I thought was too deep
G              A                 Bm
I see you and I know we can do better than this, better than this



CHORUS:
G           A      F#m                Bm
And I know you'll take me anywhere I wanna go
G          A              F#m                Bm
And I know you'll make me learn everything that I wanna know
G       A                    F#m             G
The truth of it is, it doesn't get better than this

VERSE TWO:
Bm                                   A
When the riddles and the puzzles find me
A                F#m          G
I wanna let the darkness hide me
D               Bm              A
But I know there is better than this
Bm                                 A 
And I'm shouting 'cause I see my failings
F#m          G
My fears, my faults, I'm raging
D               Bm           A 
'Cause I know that I'm better than this

PRE-CHORUS:
G                    A
'Cause I saw a mountain I thought "It's too high"
F#m                    Bm         A 
I heard the birds whisper "You can't fly"
G             A                Bm                             A
I saw you and I knew I can do better than this, better than this
G                A
I heard a language I thought I can't speak
F#m              Bm                A
I saw an ocean I thought was too deep
G               A                  Bm
I see you and I know we can do better than this, better than this



CHORUS:
G           A      F#m                Bm
And I know you'll take me anywhere I wanna go
G          A              F#m                Bm
And I know you'll make me learn everything that I wanna know
G       A                    F#m             G
The truth of it is, it doesn't get better than this
G       A                    F#m             G
The truth of it is, it doesn't get better than this

OUTRO:
Em A  F#m     G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Em   A   F#m    Bm A
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
G       A              F#m            Bm
Only when we discover that's when we find each other
G           A            F#m            G
That's when we both get better than this

THE END!
