[Verse 1]
F# C#m E F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
When you look so good, the pain in your face doesn't show
F# C#m E F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
When you look so good and baby, you don't even know
F# C#m E F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
When the world is ours but the world is not your kind of thing
F# C#m E F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
Full of shooting stars, brighter as they're vanishing
F# C#m E F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
Oh you've seen enough to know it's children who teach
F# C#m E F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
You're still free enough to wake up on a bed or a beach
[Chorus]
G D/F#
You're the best thing about me
A Bm A

A Bm A
The best things are easy to destroy

You're the best thing about me
F# C#m E F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
The best thing about me
[Verse 2]
F# C#m E F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
I been crying out, "How bad can a good time be?"
F# C#m E F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
Shooting off my mouth, that's another great thing about me
F# C#m E F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
I have everything but I feel like nothing at all
F# C#m E F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
There's no risky thing for a man who's determined to fall
[Chorus]
G D/F#
You're the best thing about me
A Bm A
The best thing that ever happened a boy
