    Am
The best we can agree on
                           D#
Is it could have been worse
     Am
What happen to your old
                   F
Benevolent universe?
     Am
You know the one with stars
                       D#
That revolve around you
Am
Beaming down full of promises
                  F
To bring good news

Chorus:
    C                  D
You used to feel that way
     C                      D#
The saddest words you could ever say
 C                   D
But I know you'll remember that day
C             Em                     C       D
And the most beautiful words I could ever say
C             D#                     Am
And the most beautiful words I could ever say

The worst thing about it all
Is that you might've been right
And I'm still not really sure
What started that fight
But I still get this feeling
There's more trouble ahead
So never mind the bad news
Let's have the good news instead

Chorus:
You used to feel that way
The saddest words you could ever say
But I know you'll remember that day
And the most beautiful words I could ever say
And the most beautiful words

Am                          C
Some would said they never fear a thing
     Em  G
Well I do
   Am                      C
And I'm afraid enough for both of us
    Em        G
For me and you

Time, if nothing else, will do its worst
So do me that favor
And tell me the good news first
The good news first

Chorus:
You used to feel that way
The saddest words you could ever say
But I know you'll remember that day
And the most beautiful words I could ever say
And the most beautiful words I could ever say
Ooh, the most beautiful words I could ever say
