Sara Bareilles - Before I Ever Knew Better

capo 1
C Am Dm
don’t know where to put you anymore
C Am Dm G
you can’t be kept inside my dresser drawer
C Am Dm
i find the pieces of you in my dreams
Dm Em F
and in the evenings

C Am Dm
spill out the edge of my mind .
C Am Dm G
memories of you feel like they’re miles wide
C Am Dm
it’s all i can do to get to the other side
Dm Em F
of these evenings

chorus
C G
i’ll see you tonight in the back of my mind
Dm G
when i remember your skin like i remembered it then
C G
when you would dress me in white with the look in your eyes
Dm Dm E F
knew you’d love me forever
C Am Dm
before i ever knew better

C Am Dm

verse ii . ( do verse i chords )
can’t see myself back beside you
but i see nobody else
nobody’s perfect but i’m perfectly happy to keep on
bringing this love down off the shelf .

chorus
C G
i’ll see you tonight in the back of my mind
Dm G
when i remember your skin like i remembered it then
C G
when you would dress me in white with the look in your eyes
Dm Dm E F
knew you’d love me forever

before i ever knew . .
