[verse]
C      Em         Am
If you want me to stay
F       C        G
I could stay all night
C     Em           Am          C/G
I got something to say to you, darling
F                     G
Might make you feel alright.
         F              G               C
‘Cause I got, I got the best news of my life.


[verse]
C        Em           Am
If I can pull up this chair.
F        C           G
If I can take off my coat,
C      Em           Am             C/G
In the white of the bright kitchen light
F                        G
I’ll tell you all that I know
      F              G               Am  G C
How I got, I got the best news of my life.
       F              G                C
Yeah I got, I got the best news of our lives.


[chorus]
F
We’ll sit still and unravelled,
C
And try to count the roads we’ve traveled.
F                              G
Work out how we ended up right here.


[verse]
C      Em        Am
Grab a paper and pen
F      C        G
Draw a vertical line
C       Em         Am              C/G
Arrange family and friends doesn’t matter 
F                         G
If they’re yours or their mine
         F               G               Am  G C
Cause We got, we got the best new of our lives
F          G               C
We got the best new of our lives


[chorus]
F
We’ll sit still and unravelled,
C
And try to count the roads we’ve traveled.
F                              G
Work out how we ended up right here.

[verse]
E            G#m         C#m
And when the people find out
A                  B
Everything’s gonna change
E              G#m               C#m       E
But that’s the point, that’s the beautiful plan
A                    B
To go from normal to strange

Yes we got, we got the best news of our lives.

Yes we got, we got the best news of our lives.
