The Best Thing

Pleasance from the album "These Here Are Crazy Times" Transcribed by Daniel Schaumann GUITAR RIFF: (played following each line of verse) E|-------------------| B|------1------------| G|--------------3----| D|-------------------| A|----3-------3------| E|-------------------| I put my spacesuit on, count back ten to one The gravitation pull gets stronger My skin it pulls away, my brains are on a plate The weightless feeling here is bliss CHORUS: This is the best thing that has ever happened to me These are the colours that I've always wanted to see And although I never said it before I love you, I need you, I need it, I love you 1 2 3 4 E|--------3-1-0---| B|------1-------3-| G|----------------| D|----------------| A|----------------| E|----------------| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2

telescopes, our friends they watch us These heights are dangerous, from here I can see why Our astronauts retire early This is the best thing that has ever happened to me These are the colours that I've always wanted to see And although I never said it before I love you, I need you, I need it, I love you SOLO: 1 2 3 4 E|--------3-1-0---| B|------1-------3-| G|----------------|
