Song: Best Of My Love
By:   J.D. Souther
 
[intro:]    | C/G  | C/G  | Dm7  | Dm7  |  
            | C/G  | C/G  | Dm7  | Dm7  |
 
[verse: 1]
C/G                            Dm7
Every night I'm lying in bed, holding you close in my dreams
C/G                                             Dm7
thinking about all the things that we said and coming apart at the seams
Em7                 Dm7            Em7                 Fmaj7
  We try to talk it over, but the words come out too rough
  C/G                      Dm7                       C/G     F G  
I know you were trying to give me the best of your love
 
[verse: 2]
 C/G                                   Dm7
Beautiful faces and loud empty places,   look at the way that we live
 C/G                                     Dm7
wasting our time on cheap talk and wine,   left us so little to give
     Em7                       Dm7                  Em7                  Dm7     G {arpaggio}
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud that we could never rise above
    C/G                Dm7                      C/G       F G
But here in my heart I give you the best of my love
 
[chorus:]
          C/G                 Dm7
Oh-oh-oh ohhhh sweet darling,   you get the best of my love
          C/G                 Dm7
Oh-oh-oh ohhhh sweet darling,   you get the best of my love
 
[bridge:]
Fm                                   C/G
  I'm going back in time and it's a sweet dream
         Fm                                              Dm       G    {let ring}
it was a quiet night and I would be all right if I could go on  sleeping___
 
[verse: 3]
     C/G                              Dm7
But every morning I wake up and worry   what's gonna happen today
C/G                                          Dm7
You see it your way and I see it mine but we both see it slipping away
Em7                              Dm7        Em7                     Dm7       G   {arpaggio}
  We thought we always had each other baby,    I guess that wasn't enough, o-o-ohh
    C/G                Dm7                      C/G       F G
But here in my heart I give you the best of my love
