Tennis - My Better Self

      [Intro]
C Em F Em


[Verse 1]
C
My better self still knows
Em
That meaning comes and goes
F
What is it made? I do not know
Em
But meaning comes and it goes

C
Each and every portent
Em
Of bitter substance spent
F
Despite the effort I have planned
Em
You seem to lose what I've meant

F C Em


[Chorus]
F
If I don't use words
          C            Em
Then each sound goes unheard
F                     C             Em     
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
F                        C          Em
Symbols suggest they are fit to possess
F                         C         Em
A purposely function that cannot be met


[Verse 2]
C
Those who created know
Em
Air is in man and blow
F
Only the value given shows
Em
That meaning comes and goes

C
My better self still knows
Em
That meaning comes and goes
F
What is it made? I do not know
Em
But meaning comes and it goes

F C Em


[Chorus]
F
If I don't use words
          C            Em
Then each sound goes unheard
F                     C             Em     
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
F                        C          Em
Symbols suggest they are fit to possess
F                         C         Em
A purposely function that cannot be met

F
If I don't use words
          C            Em
Then each sound goes unheard
F                     C             Em     
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
F                        C          Em
Symbols suggest they are fit to possess
F                         C         Em
A purposely function that cannot be met


[Outro]
C
My better self still knows
Em
That meaning comes and goes
F
What is it made? I do not know
Em
But meaning comes and it goes
