Better by Brooke Fraser

Just another way to play this awesome song.
I've also done some other tabs by Marie Digby aswell.
Hope you enjoy the tab.

There is a chord in there (D*) that is not a real chord, but it looks like this:
D* - 000230 (open strings - apart from capo obviously.)

Verse
G    A  Bm    Em D    D*   Bm
Take my shoulder back now
     G      A   Bm   Em     D   D*  Bm 
Your head’s too heavy  for  me
G      A     Bm    Em    D    A  E  
Please don’t come around here no more

        E
And you wouldn’t

Chorus
             G         Bm D        E 
I would give anything  to make you better
             G         Bm D            E
I would give anything  to point you to free
             G         Bm D           E(ring)

Verse
I loved you ‘til it killed me
So my logic wouldn’t hurt you
I know you might blame me anyway
Well I’m sorry, I’m so sorry

You’re not helping yourself  to me

BRIDGE
     G             Bm          D          A 
I’ve tried all the things they told me to do
          G            Bm          E  
Trying to close up the wounds left open by you
    G         Bm           D           A 
And if I seem doubtful, distrusting… I am
    E
You said you wouldn’t do it again
    Em
You said you wouldn’t do it again

G               Bm                  D 
  Anything just to try and help you see
                  E
You ain’t helping yourself by hurting me
G                 Bm                  D
  Time to let you go, time for you to see
                  E
You ain’t helping yourself by hurting me

             G         Bm D        E 
I would give anything  to make you better
             G         Bm D            E
I would give anything  to point you to free
             G         Bm D           E(ring) 
I would give anything  to help you realise
           G                Bm
You’re not helping yourself,  no
           D                   E       G (ring)   
You’re not helping yourself by hurting me
