F           Em         D
in a world full of confusion
F     Em     D

Chorus:
         F        Em           D
But i`d rather be here than be anywhere
         F         Em          D
is there anywhere better than here?

sometimes these feelings hidden I start to cry
      F            Em       D
cause i won`t ever let you go

Oh my my my my we're multiplying
Always living under some cloud
Always on the eve of destruction
Make you wanna scream out loud
And as I watched the birds soar
Mighty lies and wishes spun
Oh mama mama why I'm still crying
Oh now the day is come

[Chorus]
Cause I'd rather be here than be anywhere
Is there anywhere better than here?
You know these feelings I found, they are oh so rare
Is there anywhere better than here?

Sometimes life seems to tear us apart
I don't wanna let you go
Sometimes these feelings hit me, I start to cry
Cause I won't ever let you go

But I'd rather be here than be anywhere
Is there anywhere better than here?
You know these feelings I found, they are oh so rare
Is there anywhere better than here?

But I'd rather be here than be anywhere
Is there anywhere better than here?
You know these feelings I found, they are oh so rare
Is there anywhere better than here?

Sometimes this feelings hit me
Sometimes this feelings hit me
Oh these feelings are oh so rare
