[Intro]
F#  G#m  E  F#

[Verse 1]
   F#
It opened up Pandora's box
      G#m
And it all came rushin'
out like water
E                                  F#
Trapped inside a pressurised valve
          F#
I lay crooked on the stairs
           G#m
Pickin' fights with my reflection
          E
Tryna' pry out some answers
                F#
from that idiot
F#                         G#m
I spend many days takin' walks
around the house that
         E
You and I spent all our
                  F#
adolescent nights
F#                          G#m
You hurt my heart and subsequently
I hurt others
      E                             F#
And I'm no further than I was before

[Chorus]
G#m            D#m7                 B
God you really got the better of me
G#m            D#m7                 B
God you really got the better of me

[Verse 2]
      F#
And I hated you
          G#m
I was so jealous of your standin'
       E                       F#
And I envied your happy family...
       F#
Oh, I looked like ****
           G#m
Stuck in all my vice rotations
          E
Tryna' find light in
                 F#
every broken soul...
       F#                     G#m
I convinced myself that you were
just another chemical
    E                      F#
I needed to be sweated out....
                               G#m
Until I saw you on the beach flashin'
                       E
smiles at every passerby
                              F#
That caught your beautiful eye..

God you really got

the better of me...
G#m            D#m7
God you really got
                 B
the better of me...
G#m            D#m7
God you really got
                 B
the better of me...

God you really got
                 B
the better of me...
