[Intro]
Am7 Cmaj7
[Verse 1]
Am7
Everything's still pretty much the same 'round here
Cmaj7
My neighbors still shootin' all of next year's deer
Fmaj7
Boys still lose 'less they're playin' at home
Cmaj7
But I've got better since you got gone
Am7
I'm still a few too many on a Friday night
Cmaj7
I still try to step in when it ain't my fight
Fmaj7
I'm still me, don't get me wrong
Cmaj7
But I got better since you got gone
[Chorus]
Am
Swear it was like, "I'll be damned"
Am
I'm finally back to bein' who I am
Cmaj7
When we were over, it was overnight
Cmaj7
Light came on, it all felt right, when it all went wrong
Am
You turned me loose
Am
Wasn't no tellin' who I'd turn into
Cmaj7
But it turns out me and you together's why it took so long
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
'Cause I got better since you got gone
[Verse 2]
Am7
For a little while there, you had me convinced
Cmaj7
That my mama was the devil, now we're talkin' again
Fmaj7
My friends you hated ain't said one word
Cmaj7
Besides, "You got better since you lost her"
[Chorus]
Am
Swear it was like, "I'll be damned"
Am
I'm finally back to bein' who I am
Cmaj7
When we were over, it was overnight
Cmaj7
Light came on, it all felt right, when it all went wrong
Am
You turned me loose
Am
Wasn't no tellin' who I'd turn into
Cmaj7
But it turns out me and you together's why it took so long
Fmaj7
'Cause I got better since you got gone
Cmaj7
Oh baby since since you got gone
[Bridge]
Am
And I ain't sayin' that you're the sleep that I lost
Am
But I never slept this good before
Cmaj7
I ain't sayin' you're the weight on my back
Cmaj7
I'm just sayin' that it ain't there no more
[Chorus]
Am
Swear it was like, "I'll be damned"
Am
I'm finally back to bein' who I am
Cmaj7
When we were over, it was overnight
Cmaj7
Light came on, it all felt right, when it all went wrong
Am
You turned me loose
Am
Wasn't no tellin' who I'd turn into
Cmaj7
But it turns out me and you together's why it took so long
Fmaj7
'Cause I got better since you got gone
Cmaj7
Yeah, baby since since you got gone
[Outro]
Am Cmaj7
Everything's still pretty much the same 'round here
Neighbors still shooting all of next year's deer
Boys still lose 'less they're playing at home
But I got better since you got gone
I'm still a few too many on a Friday night
I still try to step in when it ain't my fight
I'm still me, don't get me wrong
But I got better since you got gone
Swear it was like I'll be damned
I'm finally back to being who I am
When we were over, it was overnight
Light came on
It all felt right when it all went wrong
You turned me loose
Wasn't no telling who I'd turn into
But it turns out, me and you together's why it took so long
'Cause I got better since you got gone
For a little while there you had me convinced
That my mama was the devil, now we're talking again
My friends you hated ain't said one word
Besides, "You got better since you lost her"
Swear it was like I'll be damned
I'm finally back to being who I am
When we were over, it was overnight
Light came on
It all felt right when it all went wrong
You turned me loose
Wasn't no telling who I'd turn into
But it turns out, me and you together's why it took so long
'Cause I got better since you got gone
Ah, baby, since you got gone
And I ain't saying you're the sleep that I lost
But I never slept this good before
I ain't saying you're the weight on my back
I'm just saying that it ain't there no more
I'll be damned
I'm finally back to being who I am
When we were over, it was overnight
Light came on, it all felt right when it all went wrong
You turned me loose
Wasn't no telling who I'd turn into
But it turns out, me and you together's why it took so long
'Cause I got better since you got gone
Yeah, baby, since you got gone
