Verse I.
C#	      Bbm		Ebm
  Don't know where to put you anymore
C#	      Bbm	     Ebm	G#
  You can't be kept inside my dresser drawer
	  C#	      Bbm		Ebm
I find the pieces of you in my dreams
	   Ebm Fm F#
And in the evenings

C#	    Bbm		Ebm
  Spill out the edge of my mind.
C#	      Bbm	     Ebm	G#
  Memories of you feel like they're miles wide
	  C#	    Bbm		Ebm
It's all I can do to get to the other side
	   Ebm Fm F#
Of these evenings

Chorus
		  C#			    G#
I'll see you tonight in the back of my mind
			Ebm			    G#
When I remember your skin like I remembered it then
		  		C#			G#
When you would dress me in white with the look in your eyes
			Ebm Ebm>F>F#
Knew you'd love me forever
		   C#   Bbm   Ebm
Before I ever knew better

C#   Bbm   Ebm

Verse II. (do verse I chords)
Can't see myself back beside you
But I see nobody else
Nobody's perfect but I'm perfectly happy to keep on
Bringing this love down off the shelf.

Chorus
		  C#			    G#
I'll see you tonight in the back of my mind
			Ebm			    G#
When I remember your skin like I remembered it then
		  		C#			G#
When you would dress me in white with the look in your eyes
			Ebm Ebm>F>F#
Knew you'd love me forever

Before I ever knew..

Bridge
G#		F#			C#			   G#
  Better off, I couldn't say if I'd be better off without a love I live without anyway
	  F#					C#
Better off, oooh. Who knows? See you tonight.

C#  G#  Ebm  G# 4x

		   C#   Bbm   Ebm
Before I ever knew better
C#   Bbm   Ebm

note: '>' here means slide... like Ebm>F>F#, it means from the chrord Ebm, you slide 
fingers to the next chord, which is F, then to the next chord, which is F#
