Lukas Graham - Better Than Yourself

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]

Em G C F B

[Verse 1]

Em
I got the letter back

Saying I can come and see you
G
I really don’t have time

But promised that I’d come and see you
C
You’re sitting far away
F
But do you know I sometimes need you
B
I know that you deserve

The time you got of all the people
Em
I know you never bent

Even in the strongest wind
G
I really wished to every God

That you were innocent
C
I’m happy and I’m proud
F
That I can still call you my friend
B
I hope you read the letters

And the magazines I send

[Pre-Chorus]

Em
You got your head up
G
But I don’t have my hopes high
C
I know that you’re a good man
F B
And that’s what, brings a tear to my eye

[Chorus]

Em
I’m like, ohhhh
G
I hope you know you’re not alone in that hell
C F
And there ain’t, noooo
B
No one can change it
Em
No one can do it better than yourself

[Verse 2]

Em
I was sixteen

And we used to roll together
G
You told me back then

That I was meant for something better
C
You know in our life

Nothing’s gonna change but the weather
B
It seems it’s been forever

Since we really stuck together
Em
I’m living a crazy life

I wish that you could see it too
G
See a thousand people sing

My song from me to you
C
Every time I sing it
F
You know I’m bleeding too
B
Man I accept you as you are

No I don’t need the truth

[Pre-Chorus]

Em
You got your head up
G
But I don’t have my hopes high
C F
I know that you’re a good man
B
And it brings a tear to my eye

[Chorus]

Em
I’m like, ohhhh
G
I hope you know you’re not alone in that hell
C F
And there ain’t, noooo
B
No one can change it
Em
No one can do it better than yourself

[Verse 3]

Em
I reminisce to back then, when it was you and I
G
Smoking big fat blunts, drive in movie night
C F
They tried to get you down, but you refused to die
B
They tried to give you angel wings, but you refused to fly
Em
You’d rather stay in hell, and take your time in jail
G
They’re only punishing a soul that you will never sell
C F
We both know that we owe nothing to each other
B
But can you blame me, for loving and missing my brother

[Outro Chorus]

Em G
Oh, oh I hope you know you’re not alone in that hell
C F
And there ain’t, noooo
B
No one can change it
Em
No one can do it better than yourself
Em G
Oh, oh I hope you know you’re not alone in that hell
C F
And there ain’t, noooo
B
No one can change it
Em
No one can do it better than yourself
