  			G                       C                 G  
I'm so glad to have you back within these arms of mine  
      G                                D 
I can finally go to sleep and get some rest 
      G          C                G 
Never once did I think of finding someone new 
               G               C           D       G 
'Cause there's nothing better, once you've had the best 
 
You're the very thing they sing about in love songs 
And one mistake don't mean you've failed the test 
As I lay beside you softly sleeping this I know, 
There's nothing better, once you've had the best 
 
    C                    
Within your arms, I've had the best 
      G         D            G     
And I think the world should know 
C  
I don't care what you've said or done 
     A               D 
I'll always love you so 
                G                   C            G 
You've got more love in your little finger, than all the rest 
            G               C           D       G 
And there's nothing better, once you've had the best 
 
No there's nothing better, once you've had the best
