Get Better

	  		


-INTRO- 
G5 
G5 

-VERSE- 
               G5 
I've got me a shovel 
               Em7 
I'm digging a ditch 
               Gsus4                                          G5                D/F# 
And I'm gonna fight for this four square feet of land like a mean old son-of-a-bitch 

               G5 
I've got me a future 
                      Em7 
I'm not stuck on the past 
                 Gsus4                                            G5                       D/F# 
I've got no new tricks, yeah, I'm up on bricks, but, me, I'm a machine and I was built to last 


-Chorus- 
     C                             D/F#        G5 
I'm trying to get better 'cause I haven't been my best 
           C                               D/F#      Em 
She took a plain black marker and started writing on my chest 
            C                            D/F#                   G5                   G/F# Em 
She drew a line across the middle of my broken heart and said "come on now let's fix this mess" 
            C      D/F# 
We can get better 
                       G5 (RIFF 1) 
Because we're not dead yet 


-VERSE- 
                 G5 
They threw me a whirlwind 
                   Em 
And I spat back a sea 
              C                                                     G5                      D/F# 
I took a battering but I've got thicker skin and the best people I know are looking out for me 

                    G5 
So, I'm taking the high road 
                              Em 
My engine's running high and fine 
                       C                                     G5                    D/F# 
May, I always see the road rising up to me and my enemies defeated in the mirror behind 


-Chorus- 
     C                             D/F#        G5 
I'm trying to get better 'cause I haven't been my best 
           C                               D/F#      Em 
She took a plain black marker and started writing on my chest 
            C                            D/F#                   G5                   G/F# Em 
She drew a line across the middle of my broken heart and said "come on now let's fix this mess" 
            C      D/F# 
We can get better 
                       G5 
Because we're not dead yet 


-BRIDGE- 
            G/D                            G/C# 
It's just a knot in the small of your back 
                   G/C         G/A 
You can work it out with your fingers 

                G/D                        G/C# 
It's just some numbers tangled up in your songs 
                   G/C         G/A 
You can work it out with your fingers 

            G/D                            G/C# 
It's just a tune that gets stuck in your head 
                   G/C         G/A 
You can work it out with your fingers 

             G/D                         G/C# 
It's just a simple --- missing from the past and your mess 
     G/C                          Am                      D/F# 
A reminder you could always be a little bit better than this 


-Chorus- 
C                             D/F#   G5 
Try and get better and don't ever accept less 
           C                      D/F#          Em 
Take your plain black marker and write this on your chest 
        C                             D/F# 
Draw a line underneath all of this unhappiness 
 G5                  G/F#  Em 
Come on now let's fix this mess 
            C      D/F# 
We can get better  
                       G5  G/F# Em (RIFF 2 > 3) 
Because we're not dead yet 
            C      D/F# (RIFF 4 > 5) 
We can get better  
                       G5 (RIFF 1) 
Because we're not dead yet
