Starting Line- Best of me
Transcribed by Mark Horvath

Verse 1
Tell me what you thought about when
you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
E A B C#m , A C#m B A x2

Verse 2

Here we lay again 
On two separate beds
Riding phone lines
You hear a familiar voice
And pictures drawn from
mem or eee hee  
We reflect on miscommunications
And misunderstandings 
And missing each other too
Much to vow to let
go   

Bridge 1

Turn our music down
And we whisper
"Say what you're thinking right now"

Chorus

Tell me what you thought about when
you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up

Verse 3

Jumping to conclusions 
Made me fall away from you  
I'm so glad that the truth has brought back together me and you

Bridge 2

We're sitting on the ground and we whisper
"Say what you're thinking out loud"

Chorus

Tell me what you thought about when
you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
E A B C#m , A C#m B A x2

Breakdown

Turn our music down
And we whisper
We're sitting on the ground
And we whisper
We turn our music down
We're sitting on the ground
The next time I'm in town
We will kiss girl
We will kiss girl

Chorus

Tell me what you thought about when
you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont
feeling that we can't
That were not ready to give up

Outro

(light distortion)
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
