Tom : D
A Bm D G D A
Hallelujah, I'm listening to a recording of you sleeping next to me
Bm D G D A
A cappella, I'm listening to you cover Elliot Smith's "Angeles"

It's these times I'll need if you go

It's these times I'll need if you go, so
[Chorus]

Get better, my darling
D Em
I know you will
Get better

D Bm
I'm drawn to the motorway
D G
The cold whoosh of trucks passing

This nightmare under sodium light
D G
The orange spread is soul-quietening
[Refrão]
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 Em D
[Verse 3]
A Bm
Happy birthday
D
Staff smuggled in a card I made
G D A
It rests under your pillow
A Bm 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]

Get better, my darling

I hope you will

Get better, my darling

I'll start the day with tiramisu

Raise a spoon to front line workers

An underfunded principle

They risk all to be there for us
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Verse 5 2x 2x]
A Bm
You were the baker
D G D A
I'll christen this new era with the smell of freshly baked bread
Bm 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
Bm D
Front garden bouquet, I threw it at the fire brigade
G D A
I was admonished and told to go back inside
Bm 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
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 Em
My darling, I know I will
