Better Me For You Brown Eyes

[Intro]
| Am - C - | G - Dm G |

[Verse 1]
Am               C
  Love was a game I played,
               G
dealer's choice
In the back of a bar all summer
Am                C                     G
  Forgettin' names like background noise
In relationships, I wanted none of
Am             C
  Went off the rails by fall
G
 Lord knows I needed savin'
Am             C
  Wore off the alcohol
G
 And you were there like an angel waitin'
                         F
I didn't know you'd have brown eyes

[Chorus]
C
Like to pray to Jesus,
G                             Am
spendin' Friday nights at home
                  G      F
Didn't know you'd be the strong kind
C
Deeper than a coal mine,
G                          Am
lovin' with a heart of gold
    G      F
And you're ev'rything that I'm not,
C
ev'rything that I want
G                             Am
There's a God, n' baby you're proof
   G     F
In those brown eyes,
C              G
 I know that I got to find
                   Am C G
A better me for you

[Verse 2]
Am                      C
  Made a livin' dippin' toes in the water
G
 Feelin' low with my walls up high
Am                   C
  I was stayin' far away from the deep end
G
 A girl like you made a boy like me try
Am             C
  Went off the rails that fall
G
 Lord knows I needed savin'
Am           C           G
  Made me forget them all
                             F
And I didn't know you'd have brown eyes

[Chorus]
C
Like to pray to Jesus,
G                             Am
spendin' Friday nights at home
                  G      F
Didn't know you'd be the strong kind
C
Deeper than a coal mine,
G                          Am
lovin' with a heart of gold
    G      F
And you're ev'rything that I'm not,
C
ev'rything that I want
G                             Am
There's a God, n' baby you're proof
   G     F
In those brown eyes,
C              G
 I know that I got to find
                   F C    G Am
A better me for you   (oh)

[Post-Chorus]
            G      F C    G Am
A better me for you   (oh)

[Bridge]
      Dm                            Am
Don't worry 'bout the miles that it takes
                  C                         G
We can make ev'ry one of them worth all the drivin'
               Dm                         Am
I'll sing your praises ev'ry way like the hymnals all say
        C                       G
I could love you 'til the end of time and
                        F
I never knew you'd have brown eyes

[Chorus]
C
Liked to pray to Jesus,
G                             Am
spendin' Friday nights at home
                 G      F
Never knew you'd be the strong kind
C
Deeper than a coal mine,
G                        Am
lovin' with heart of gold
    G      F
And you're ev'rything that I'm not,
C
ev'rything that I want
G                             Am
There's a God, n' baby you're proof
   G     F
In those brown eyes,
C              G
 I know that I got to find
A better me for you

[Outro]

            G      F    C G
A better me for you (oh)
Am           G

F       C
 for you
G
 A better me for you
