Better Off (The Captain Planet Song) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]And these months went by [Bm]so sweet
[A]I met her down by the
stream and she [D]was pure
Like honey[Bm]comb on the fire,
[D]dew[A] in the[D] north
And she tugged in [Bm]my sleeves asking
"where you [D]go [A]ing?"
"I've been baking you cookies
you can leave [D]in the [A]morning"
[D]I, [A]I want you aro[D]und
[A][D][A][D]

[Verse 2]
But see I'm drawn to your flames
like a moth to the fold
In these old pair of jeans
[A]unwashed [D]in your wardrobe
I'm caught at the seams
of who I'll become
Can be a man to [A]the sea and

[Verse 3]
the needs to your love
[Bm]And if I could be your Captain
[D]Planet would you be my [A]girl?
And together we could save the world
Here on [Bm]out
I will do my [D]best to
be someone you deserve
[A]We can say to other people
Look I'm better off with [Bm]her

[Verse 4]
And if I could be your [D]Captain
Planet would you be my [A]girl?
And to[D]gether we [A]could save the world
Here on [Bm]out
I will do my be[D]st to
be someone you deserve
[A]We can say to other people

[Verse 5]
Look I'm better off [A]with her[D],
oh oh, no
And I'm [A]better [D]off [A]with [D]her

[Verse 6]
[A]Don't let me [D]dow[Bm]n
[D][A][D][A][D]

[Verse 7]
And these [A]months [Bm]went by so [A]sweet
We jumped overboard,
company wherever I [D]go
She said let's [Bm]leave in the morning
Been [D]knitting [A]you a jumper
for when it gets colder
[D]She puts my head in her hands,
[Bm]whenever I'm feeling low
[D]Or if I feel like I've kept,
too much from words that I chose
And there's a rust on my frame,
or [Bm]was I sitting too c[D]lose?
Is it salt in my [A]palms or have

[Verse 8]
I been here before?
[Bm]And if I could be your Captain
[D]Planet would you be my [A]girl?
And together we could save the world
Here on [Bm]out

be someone you deserve
[A]We can say to other people
Look I'm better [D]off with [Bm]her

[A]We can say to other people

Look I'm better off [A]with [D]her,
oh oh, no
And I'm better off with [A]her[D]
I'm better off [Bm]with her, [D]oh oh, no
And I'm better off [A]with [D]her
[A][D]

[Verse 11]
But I'm [Bm]no good for your d[E]aughter[A]
'Til I've learned to breathe
underwa[D]ter
But she's been coaxing me under,
and [A]telling me [D]how
[A]She'll be holding my hands
if I make it [D]around
And I'm no [Bm]good for your daugh[D]ter
[A]'Til I've learned to [D]breathe
