Verse 1:
C majorC     FF      D MajorD
And these months went by so sweet
G+G                    FF
I met her down by the stream and she was pure
              C majorC      FF
Like honeycomb on the fire, dew in the north
FF
And she tugged on my sleeves asking "Where you going?"

 C majorC
"I've been baking you cookies you can leave in the morning"
FF        C majorC
I, I want you around
FF
But see I’m drawn to your flames like a moth to the fold
           C majorC            FF
In these old pair of jeans unwashed in your wardrobe

FF
I'm caught at the seams of who I’ll become
FF          C majorC             DmDm
Can be a man to the sea and the needs to your love

Chorus:
                FF           C majorC
And if I could be your Captain Planet would you be my girl?
C majorC
And together we could save the world
    DmDm
Here on out
         FF          C majorC
I will do my best to be someone you deserve

C majorC
We can say to other people
             DmDm
Look I'm better off with her
            FF               C majorC
And if I could be your Captain Planet would you be my girl?
C majorC
And together we could save the world

    DmDm
Here on out
         FF          C majorC
I will do my best to be someone you deserve
C majorC
We can say to other people
             FF
Look I'm better off with her

          C majorC
I'm better off with her
FF
I'm better off with her
FF
And I'm better off with her
    C majorC   FF  FF F FF F FF C majorC
Don’t let me down

Verse 2:
     FF      D MajorD
And these months went by so sweet
C majorC                    FF
We jumped overboard, company wherever I go
        DmDm             C majorC
She said “Let’s leave in the morning, been knitting you a jumper for when it gets colder”
FF                    DmDm
She puts my head in her hands, whenever I'm feeling low

FF
Or if I feel like I’ve kept, too much from words that I chose
                 DmDm        FF
And there’s rust on my frame, or was I sitting to close?
       C majorC                DmDm
Is it salt in my palms or have I been here before?


Chorus:
            FF               C majorC
And if I could be your Captain Planet would you be my girl?
C majorC
And together we could save the world
    DmDm
Here on out
       FF
I will do my best to be someone you deserve

C majorC
We can say to other people
        FF
Look I'm better off with her
FF                           C majorC
And if I could be your Captain Planet would you be my girl?
C majorC
And together we could save the world

C majorC
She'll be holding my hands if I make it around
