[G]When I go home alone
I drive past the place where I was born
[F]And the places that I used to drink
[Am]Young and drunk and stumbling in the street
Outside the Joiners Arms like [G]foals unsteady on their feet
[G]With the art students and the boys in bands
[G]High on E and holding hands with [F]someone that I just met
[G]I thought, "It doesn't get [F]better than this
There can be nothing [Am]better than this, [G]better than this."
[G]And we climbed onto the roof of the museum
And someone made [F]love in the grass
[Am]And I forgot my name
And the way back to my [G]mother's house
[G]With your black pool eyes and your bitten lips
[G]The world is at your fingertips
[F]It doesn't get [Am]better than this
What else could be [G]better than this?
[G]Oh, do you know what I have seen?
I have seen the [F]fields aflame
[Am]And everything I ever did
Was just [G]another way to scream your name
[G]Over and over and over and over [F]again
[Am]Over and over and over and over [G]again
[G]And we're just children wanting children of our own
I want a [F]space to watch things grow
But [Am]did I dream too big? Do I have to [G]let it go?
And what if one day there is no such thing as [F]snow?
Oh God, what do I [Am] [G]know?
And I don't know anything
Except that green is so green
And there's a special kind
of sadness that seems to come with spring
[G]Oh, do you know what I have seen?
I have seen the [F]fields aflame
[Am]And everything I ever did
Was just [G]another way to scream your name
[G]Over and over and over and over [F]again
[Am]Over and over and over and over [G]again
[G]Oh, do you know what I have seen?
I have seen the [F]fields aflame
[Am]But everything I ever did
Was just [G]another way to scream your name
