Best of You

Best of You

You slipped in underneath my shutters like a cold breeze

Shock to the senses, it's hard to see that love

That gets the best of you.

I may have lied once before but you believed it

Never hesitated to think about how I dreamed it

The roads that I've run were paved with lies of gold

And just like a slave, you were sold

So I snuggle up to the bar; order up another cold round of blues

It's something I don't need, wouldn't you agree?

I think I got the best of you

CHORUS

SOLO/Bridge

I slipped out your upstairs window like I'd never been...

free as a bird in the rain, now's my chance, and I'm gonna sing.

It's an old tune, but the words are new; the moral's still the same,

I keep my shutters closed, 'cause I've got everything, everything:

I've got the best of you...

And I may have lied once before but you believed it

Never hesitated to think about how I dreamed it

The roads that I've run have been well-traveled

And the things that I believe in come unraveled

My way of thinking's never been more than one single step ahead

And I cannot remember the things I may have said

Please forgive me for the things that I've said

No don't remind me of things I may have said

Please forget all the things I may have said
