[Verse]

Em C D A
It’s good to see your face in the morning
Em C D A
It helps me to face the day
Em C D A
I see you lighting candles
Em C D A
As I turn away
Em C D A
I want you, I need you in a way that confuses me but
Em C D
it’s good to hold you
C
but it’s better when you’re not there

[Chorus]

G C
it’s better when you’re not there
G Em D C
it’s better when I don’t care about the things you say in the world’s worst way
D Em C D A
It’s better when you’re not there

[Verse 2]

Em C D A
But somehow it waits till the morning
Em C D A
I feel your eyes on me
Em C D A
It’s a such a perfect moment
Em C D A
It almost sets me free
Em C D A
I wanted to keep you holding in while you’re pulling away
Em C D
It’s good to know you but

[Chorus 2]

it’s better when you’re not there
