April.  Back in New York. The  31st floor.
 It seems  somehow everything's changed.
 The kitchen's too small. Plates  on the wall.
 The sound  of machinery.
May.  Where have you been?
 Who were you running with?
 Wasn't he someone  you used to call home.
 Where is the ring?
 Where is the boy who  went travelling alone
She  is much better without me
 She walks through the gates of the country
 Hands at her side
 And I smile  as I watch her walk by
Somehow  I see there are ships in her eyes
She  is better off now
 June. The curtain is shut.
 The patterns are cut.
 The maid who will wake you at dawn.
 Pulls out a chair. Pulls down your hair.
 It's just like you wanted
 July. What's going on
 What are you runnin' from
 Why are you sleeping alone on the floor.
 Some people change.
 Others hang on till they can't anymore
 Chorus.
She  is much better without me
 She walks through the gates of the country
 Hands in the air
 And I smile  as I watch her walk by
Somehow  I see there are ships in her eyes.
She  is much better now
 This is the first Black Lab song that I have tabbed. If you like it, please email me so
 I can see if I should bother doing anymore.

[Em]April.  Back in New York.  T[C]he 31st floor.          [A]

It [D]seems somehow everything's changed.           [Em]

The kitchen's too small.  Pl[C]ates on the wall.               [A]

The sou[D]nd of machinery.

[G]She   [D2]   is much better without me    [C]

She walks through the gates of the c[G]ountry
