Maroon 5 - Better That We Break
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Created: June 22nd, 2007
Standard Tuning
Capo can be used to adjust key for singing.
When I play, I like to transition from D to Dsus4 with a hammer on the high E
string. It's not necessary, but it sounds better I think.
Chords used:
[E] [A] [D] [G] [B] [E]

Verse 1:
I [G]never knew perfection 'til
G/f#
I heard you speak, and now it kills me
[Em7]Just to hear you say the simple things.
Now [G]waking up is hard to do
G/f#
And sleeping's impossible too
[Em7]Everything's reminding me of [Cadd9]you
[Cadd9]What can I do?
Chorus:
G G/f#
It's not right, not okay
[Em7]Say the word that you'll [Cadd9]say
Maybe we'r[D]e better off this way

I'm not fine, I'm in pain
[Em7]It's harder eve[Cadd9]ryday
Maybe we'r[D]e better off this way
[D]It's better that we break..

A [G]fool to let you slip away
G/f#
I chase you just to hear you say
You'r[Em7]e scared and that you think that I'[Cadd9]m insane
The [G]city looks so nice from here

Pity I can't see it clearly
[Em7]While you're standing there, it di[D]sappears
[D]It disappears
