The Better to Dream of You Mary Chapin Carpenter
Intro:
[G] [G] [G] [G/E]
[G] Every he[C]art has g[D]ot a st[G]ory [G] 'bout [C]love holding o[G]ut a lu[D]re
[G] Baby, [C]when you've be[D]en that lo[G]nely,[G] you just [C]want a c[D]ure[D]
[C] Fool you o[C]nce, you a[D]re forgi[D]ven; [C] fool you tw[C]ice, you're j[D]ust a fo[G]ol
[G] You fear the [C]future's a[D]ll been writ[Em]ten [C] by the p[C]ast, and wh[C]at didn't l[D]ast
All the [G]better to dr[C]eam of [D]you,[D] the [G]better to b[C]e this [D]side of he[D]aven
Be[G]lieving ag[C]ain when a [D]dream comes [Em]true, the [C]better to dr[D]eam of [C]you[C] [C] [D]
Every story's got a chapter; that chapter will be defined
By what's before and what comes after; this one is mine
Everything that came before us wore me out and weighed me down
You raised me up like a gospel chorus, rock steady on solid ground
The [G]better to dr[C]eam of [D]you,[D] the [G]better to b[C]e this [D]side of he[D]aven
Be[G]lieving ag[C]ain some [D]dreams come [Em]true, the [C]better to dr[D]eam of [F]you[F] [F] [F]
[C/E] Like an o[C/E]ld time [C/E]tent rev[C/E]ival, I[Dsus4] felt my [Dsus4]heart come b[G]ack al[G]ive
[C/E] No [C/E]preacher baby,[C/E] no bibl[C/E]e, [Em] just this l[Em]ove to t[D]estify[D]
(guitar solo, same chords as one chorus)
Oh, the better to dream of you, the better to be this side of heaven
Believing again some dreams come true, the better to dream of you
The better to dream of you, yeah, stranger things they might have happened
Believing again that dreams come true, the better to dream of you
The better to dream of you, the better to be this side of heaven
Believing again some dreams come true, the better to dream of you
(fade)
