It Gets Better

	  		               Em 
They got your walls as tall as the ceiling 
         Am 
Or your heart’s curled up in a ball on the floor 
   C 
It’s never been this hard 
   F                    Em 
To push on through the dark 
G                            C 
I know it’s tough to make a smile creep out of the broken doubt 
         Em 
And the rest of you is torn 
      C 
Just wait they got more words in store 
             Am 
Like you're stupid 
                G 
I think they're stupid 
                Am                    C 
You wonder why they do this 

There ain't a reason 



                    Am 
They think they're tough right? 
                            G 
Taking your time to make a rough night 
                             Em 
For someone else it’s not a dumb fight 
                      F 
Cause all we have is who we are 
C 
Who we are 
Em 
Not everybody has a heart as thick as ours 
Am 
Keep aiming for the stars 
          
Don't forget who you are 
                G 
Who you are 



F 
Take it for granted 
           Em 
The love they've been handed 
                Am 
Yeah we're all misdirected       
C 
We try to learn the lessons 
                 G 
But when you're alone 
             D 
Your heart turns to stone 
Em 
No heart or home 

Stolen conclusion 
Am 
Your minds all turned over 

From words of illusion 
Em 
But you're fine 
Am 
You're fine 

You're fine 
F 
You're fine 

You're fine 
G - 
Lay your head down 
- 
It'll be alright 
_ 
Take the time to realize, they're all just lies. 



           Em 
Cause not everybody has a heart as thick as ours 
      Am 
Keep aiming for the stars 
     Em 
Not everybody has a heart as thick as ours 
       Am 
Keep aiming for the stars 
  

       
      G  Am  Em                           F 
It’s so hard to let a smile creep out of all the broken doubt 
C                   Em          Am -                                   Em - 
When you're gone, alone, cause they take you down, they skin ya to the bone. 
        C 
Do you know who you are? 
         G 
Cause I know who you are 
           F 
You're a pinch of perfect 

a dash of worth it 
       Em 
Don't take your life 
           Am 
Just stay tongue tied 
        G 
I know it’s hard 
         C 
Do they know it’s this hard 
           Em 
To make a smile creep out of a pile of broken doubt 

      G                 -                            F 
When all of its gone, they take you down, they take your stars. 
                    Em 
But I need you to shine 

For me tonight 
               C 
I need you to shine, I need you to shine 
           G            - 
Cause it doesn't look like 
- 
I said it doesn’t look like 
- 
It gets better 
- 
I said it doesn’t look like 
- 
It gets better 
- 
With all of this heavy weather 
          G 
Well it doesn’t look like 

It gets better 
    F 
But I swear that it does. 

           Am 
But I know you'll think twice cause of the heavy, heavy weather 
         Em - 
And you don't know whether to stay. 



             Am 
Because not everybody has a heart as thick as yours 
                     Em 
Keep aiming for the stars, don't forget who you are 
        C - 
Cause you've gotten this far, don't let them take it all.
