subject: Something Better by Natalie Imbruglia.
transcribed and submitted by Paul Townsend.

This is in my opinion one of the best songs Natalie Imbruglia has sung
during her short career and is featured as a bonus track on her single
Big Mistake.


   Something Better.

Chords used:	D    : XX0232
   Dadd9: XX0230
   G    : 355433
   Em   : 022000
   F    : 133211
   C    : X32010
   Am   : X02210

Played with CAPO 3. If you listen to the CD the rhythm is very easy to
pick up.

     D Dadd9 D G
I wont say anything.
  D Dadd9 D G
Im hiding in the pink.
