Better Off As We Are


Song: Better Off As We Are Band: Blue Rodeo Album:Nowhere To Here Label:Warner Music Canada Written by: Greg Keelor/Jim Cuddy Tabbed/Chorded by: ultimatelefty This is a great song so I decided to do it. Can't understand why Nowhere To Here is considered a lesser album, personally I think it's great! Anyways, please rate, comment, and enjoy! This is the main guitar part for the verse, you can just do simple strummings of the chords... that works too Em C G D e|---------|---------|---------|---3-2---| B|-----0---|-----1---|---------|---3-3-3-| G|-----0---|-----0---|-----0---|-2-----2-| D|---2---2-|---2-2-2-|-----0---|-0-----0-| A|-2-------|-3-------|---2---2-|---------| E|-0-------|---------|-3-------|---------| Em C G D (x4) Em C G D We sat around at night and talked about so many things Em C G D lay on the floor till the morning appeared Em C G D you laughed at me and said I just don't get it Em C G D you said we should be making plans for getting out of here Em C G D Em C G D Somebody told me when I was just a little kid Em C G D don't follow leaders just think for yourself Em C G D but everybody minds everybody else's business here Em C G D why can't they turn their eyes to somebody else Em C G D (x2) G Tell me no use thinking F C G we could ever be something F C G we could rise with the stars F C D better off as we are Em C G D My older brother he left the day he finished school Em C G D moved down to New York to Washington Square Em C G D he calls me up and says you should come and see me Em C G D watch the waves of people rolling everywhere Em C G D (x2) G Tell me no use thinking F C G we could ever be something F C G we could rise with the stars F C D better off as we are Em C G D (x4) G F C (x2) G F C D Em C G D Late in the evening I'm up in my room Em C G D trying to think of nothing clear away the day Em C G D I lie awake and let my body wander Em C G D up into the moonlight floating away Em C G D (x2) G Tell me no use thinking F C G we could ever be something F C G we could rise with the stars F C D better off as we are Em C G D (x4) G F C End on G
