 I like you better than sleeping for days and God knows my bed is my favorite place.
G+G           FF             A minorAm            C majorC
Wrap myself up in the flannel and gown while the sun does a number on the folks downtown.
G+G          FF A minorAm    C majorC
Well I would give up, my lazy ways.

'Cause I like you better, than sleeping for days.
G+G            FF             A minorAm               C majorC
 I like you better than playing guitar and that’s pretty much the best-thing I’ve found so far.
G+G        FF     A minorAm          C majorC
The G+G to the F, A minorAm and C, drown out the voices inside of me.
     G+G          FF    A minorAm        C majorC
Well I’d turn in my 12 string, and my dreams of being a star.

Cause I like you better, than playing guitar.
G+G             FF        A minorAm             C majorC
 I like you better than my self-doubt that-thing that never lets me go out of the house.
G+G          FF          A minorAm          C majorC
 That-monster is my on-ly friend but I‘d send him away and be happy again.
    G+G         FF   A minorAm        C majorC
I’d be one of those weirdos with nothing to worry about.
G+G            FF A minorAm      C majorC
'Cause I like you better, than my self-doubt.

I like you better than cold hard cash I’ve been saving up and I’ve got quite a stash.
G+G              FF       A minorAm            C majorC
But I’d feed every bill to a ravenous fire if for some reason that’s what you desire.

I’d convert all my savings, to embers and ash.

 I like you better than a sixpack of beer and that’s the perfect amount to make my vision unclear.
G+G                  FF           A minorAm             C majorC
But nowhere near enough that I don’t think about you & if I toss a few back that’s all I’m gonna to do.
G+G             FF A minorAm      C majorC
So I’m fine if gui-tar boys, all disappears

'cause I like you better, than beer.

G+G            FF             A minorAm        C majorC
It saved my life god it made me feel good but if I had-to-forget-it-forever I would.
G+G           FF A minorAm        C majorC
Cause I like you better, I like you better,
