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

 I like you better than playing guitar and that’s pretty much the best-thing I’ve found so far.
G               F         Am                   C
The G to the F, Am and C, drown out the voices inside of me.
         G                   F        Am                C
Well I’d turn in my 12 string, and my dreams of being a star.
      G               F Am             C
Cause I like you better,  than playing guitar.
G                          F               Am                          C
 I like you better than my self-doubt that-thing that never lets me go out of the house.
G                   F                    Am                   C
 That-monster is my on-ly friend but I‘d send him away and be happy again.
       G                  F      Am               C
I’d be one of those weirdos with nothing to worry about.
G                       F Am            C
'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                            F             Am                        C
But I’d feed every bill to a ravenous fire if for some reason that’s what you desire.
    G                     F Am             C
I’d convert all my savings,  to embers and ash.
G                      F Am    C
Cause I like you better,  than cash.

 I like you better than a sixpack of beer and that’s the perfect amount to make my vision unclear.
G                                    F                      Am                         C
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                         F Am           C
So I’m fine if gui-tar boys, all disappears
G                       F Am   C
'cause I like you better,  than beer.

 I like you better than that song from my youth the only one back then that told me the truth.
G                       F                          Am               C
It saved my life god it made me feel good but if I had-to-forget-it-forever I would.
G                      F Am               C

I like you better, I like you better,
