As recorded by James Bay (From the 2022 Album LEAP) [Intro] E [Verse 1]
E                           C#m7
I grew up learning from the best of me

        E                               A
And I'm still not sure just who I am supposed to be

   Am
So hold me again

  E          C#m
Before I fall

      D
Hold tight

      Bsus4
Hold tight
[Verse 3]
E                                 C#m7
I hung back in the shadows in periphery

             E                                                  A
And you took my hand to through the bright lights when they blinded me

    Am
You kissed me again

    E                C#m
You pulled me in close

     D
You smiled

      B
So I smiled
[Chorus]
                    E
'Cause everything's better

                  C#m7
As soon as you're next to me

       D          F#m
I know I'll fall apart

           B
But you'll fix me with your heart

             E
Everything's better

             C#m
You there in the fight with me

    D
And when I fail to start

       B
You'll fix me with your heart
[Verse 4]
E                     C#m
I grew up tryna heal, lightspeed

      E                                         A
But I lost my nerve when the gig kids kicked it out of me

    Am
You save me the sin

   E             C#m
Of getting lost in

    D
My mind

    B
My mind
[Chorus]
                    E
'Cause everything's better

                  C#m7
As soon as you're next to me

       D          F#m
I know I'll fall apart

           B
But you'll fix me with your heart

             E
Everything's better

             C#m
You there in the fight with me

    D
And when I fail to start

       B
You'll fix me with your heart
[Post-Chorus]
E
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

C#m
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

B
Ooh, ooh
[Bridge]
    A
You feel this in your feet

        B
We were dancing in the street

        C#m                B               D
And you looked the deepest darkness in the air

   A
We missed the last bus home

        B
Found a park bench for a throne

        E            B     C#m
And the stars stayed out tonight

                 A                    B
And everything's better, everything's better
[Chorus]
                   E
Yeah, everything's better

                  C#m
As soon as you're next to me

       D
I know I'll fall apart

               B
But you'll fix me with your heart

             E
Everything's better

                 C#m
You there in the fight with me

         D         F#m
And when I fail to start

           B
You'll fix me with your heart
[Outro]
E
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

C#m7         D
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

F#m             B
I'm better with you

E
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

C#m7         D
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

                B   E
I'm better with you
