Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

he and I had something beautiful

 but so dysfunctional, it couldn't last

I loved him so but I let him go

 ‘cause I knew he'd never love me back

Pre-chorus

such pain as this

 shouldn't have to be experienced

 I'm still reeling from the loss,

 still a little bit delirious

Chorus

near to you, I am healing

 but it's taking so long

'cause though he's gone

 and you are wonderful

 it's hard to move on

yet, I'm better near to you.

Verse 2

you and I have something different

 and I'm enjoying it cautiously

I'm battle scarred,

 but I am working oh so hard

 to get back to who I used to be

Pre-chorus

he's disappearing, fading steadily

 well, I'm so close to being yours,

 won’t you stay with me, please

Chorus

near to you, I am healing

 but it's taking so long

 'cause though he's gone

 and you are wonderful

 it’s hard to move on

yet, I'm better near to you

Instrumental

Bridge

I only know that

 I am better where you are

I only know that

 I am better where you are

I only know that I belong

 where you are

Chorus

near to you, I am healing

 but it's taking so long

 'cause though he's gone

 and you are wonderful

 it’s hard to move on

 yet, I'm better near to you

yet, I'm better near to you
