Better Than The Hurt (Remastered)

[Intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar with percussive slaps] [Verse 1] [soulful male vocals] I see you sitting on the steps Your head is held low I've been carrying this anger, it's a heavy stone in my pocket Putting it down, now I'm putting it down Right here on the wood We are better than the hurt [Chorus] [electric bass enters, vocal harmonies] We are better I'm mending the fence today (hey) Mending the fence I'm mending the fence today (hey) Mending the fence I'm mending the fence today (hey) Mending the fence It's okay to start again [Verse 2] I remember your grandmother She said love is a long road You gotta walk it in the rain I forgot how to walk, I just wanted to be right But being right is lonely [Chorus] [fuller vocal texture] We are better than the hurt We are better I'm mending the fence today (hey) Mending the fence I'm mending the fence today (hey) Mending the fence I'm mending the fence today (hey) Mending the fence It's okay to start again [Bridge] [falsetto ad-libs] Take my hand It's rough and it's dry, but it's yours I don't want to fight, I just want to be home [Chorus] We are better than the hurt We are better I'm mending the fence today (hey) Mending the fence I'm mending the fence today (hey) Mending the fence I'm mending the fence today (hey) Mending the fence It's okay to start again [Outro] We're all right, we're all right We're all right now, we're all right Just lean on me The break is fixed, I know I'm here, I'm here I'm right here, I'm here
