A Bm Happy birthday D Staff smuggled in a card I made G D A It rests under your pillow A Bm D When out of ICU I'll cringe at all the "I love you"s G D A The card retired the life of one biro G D A At this time I wanted you to know G D A At this time I wanted you to know
[Chorus]

Get better

[Verse 5]
A Bm You were the baker D G D A I'll christen this new era with the smell of freshly baked bread Bm D Your Nutella, I'll keep it in the cellar G D A You were always a fan of that spread G D A Six months on, there's a car crash outside G D A The fire brigade using the jaws of life G D A No flush at night to sound your return G D A I still pretend you're only out of sight Bm D Front garden bouquet, I threw it at the fire brigade G D A I was admonished and told to go back inside Bm D From the living room window I stand and watch the white sheet go G D A over the family car and I close my eyes G D A G I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room D A Smiling at your phone G D A G I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room D A Smiling at your phone G D A G I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room D A Smiling at your phone G D A G I still pretend you're only out of sight in another room D A Smiling at your phone G I still pretend
[Outro]
D A G A younger me, a younger you D A G Meeting at The Serpentine D A G The beginning of spring, you wore those yellow ripped jeans D A G Your look defined my 2009 D A G Your shyness stoked my boldness D A G "Shall we go in?", I smiled D A G Your hand warmed walking through the gallery D Bm (Get better) G D I know I will Bm (Get better) G D Em My darling, I know I will
