[Verse]
A D G D A
Hallelujah, I'm listening to a recording of you sleeping next to me
D G D A
A cappella, I'm listening to you cover Elliot Smith's "Angeles"
G D A
It's these times I'll need if you go
G D A
It's these times I'll need if you go, so
[Chorus]
D Bm
Get better, my darling
G D
I know you will
Bm G
Get better, my darling
D E
I know you will
Get better
[Verse]
D Bm
I'm drawn to the motorway
D G
The cold whoosh of trucks passing
D Bm
This nightmare under sodium light
D G
The orange spread is soul-quietening
D G
A younger you and a younger me
D
Meeting at The Serpentine
G E D
I am yours, you are mine
A D G A
E D
[Verse]
A G
Happy birthday
D
Staff smuggled in a card I made
G D A
It rests under your pillow
G 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]
D Bm
Get better, my darling
G D
I hope you will
Bm G
Get better, my darling
D E
I hope you will
Get better
[Verse]
D Bm
I'll start the day with tiramisu
D G
Raise a spoon to front line workers
D Bm
An underfunded principle
D G
They risk all to be there for us
D
A younger you and a younger me
G
Meeting at The Serpentine
E D
I am yours, you are mine
A D G A
Em D
[Verse]
A G
You were the baker
D G D A
I'll christen this new era with the smell of freshly baked bread
G 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
G D
Front garden bouquet, I threw it at the fire brigade
G D A
I was admonished and told to go back inside
G 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 E
My darling, I know I will
