Bb
Take me to the river, baby
F
Let my heart burn
             Ab
With all the rubble and the ashes
   Eb
Of your last words


Bb
Set my heart free
                      F
Let it float upon the river, baby
                  Ab
Tell me that you love me one more time
                      Eb
Even though you don't mean it

I'll take it as a lie

Fm                 Ab          Eb
Cause something is better than nothing to me

[Chorus 1]

Bb                           F
Hold me like you did back in July
Ab                                Eb
Kiss me on the lips just one more time
Bb                           F
Hold me tight and never let me go
Ab                                    Eb
Take me back even though I know the answer's no

Bb            F                  Ab                 Eb
Maybe one day we'll work out but what if there's no maybe
Bb           F                Ab             Eb
All I wanted from you was for you to call me baby

Fm                 Ab          Eb
Cause something is better than nothing to me
             Bb
So we can be friends

Bb F Ab Eb

[Verse 2]

Bb
Take me to the high tops, baby
F                              Ab
Throw my heart off the highest mountain you can find
    Eb
Lie to me and say that you're mine
Bb
Send my heart free
                    F
Let it fly into the high skies, baby
                 Ab
Tell me that you need me one more time
                      Eb
Even though you don't mean it

I'll take it as a lie

Fm                 Ab          Eb
Cause something is better than nothing to me

[Chorus 2]

Bb                               F
Hold me like you did back in the summer
Ab                                     Eb
Kiss me on the lips and say there's no other
Bb                           F
Hold me tight and never let me go
Ab                                    Eb
Take me back even though I know the answer's no

Bb            F                  Ab                 Eb
Maybe one day we'll work out but what if there's no maybe
Bb           F                Ab             Eb
All I wanted from you was for you to call me baby

Fm                 Ab          Eb
Cause something is better than nothing to me
             Bb         F Ab Eb
So we can be friends
             Bb         F Ab Eb
So we can be friends

[Outro]

Bb                                 F
Hold me like you did when you were mine
Ab                                       Eb
Kiss me on the lips and say everything's fine
Bb                           F
Hold me tight and never let me go
Ab                                    Eb
Take me back even though I know the answer's no

Fm                 Ab          Eb              Bb
Cause something is better than nothing to me
