Verse:
Em9         A13
Today's the day it gets better
Em9         A13
This much I know
Em9             A13
I'm gone, I'm getting out

Bridge:
            Dm7                  D7
And all you suckers can watch me go
      C#m                  F#    Bm   Bm/A
And I don't know where I'm going yet
         Bm/Ab             Gm7                 A   D  A7
But it's somewhere quite a ways from here I'll bet

Chorus: (3x)
              G          D
It's gonna be so far, so good

Verse:
Em9         A13
Too late to make it all better
Em9            A13
This time it's real
Em9         A13
No need for looking back

Bridge:
              Dm7               D7
Don't have to talk about how we feel
            C#m           F#       Bm   Bm/A
And there's no one we can pin this on
          Bm/Ab               Gm7             A    D A7
'Cause you can't see that it's going till it's gone

Chorus: (3x)
           G          D
But we got so far, so good

Banjo Solo:
Bm  Bm/Ab Gmaj7 F#7   (3x)
G   Bb13    D

Verse:
Em9         A13
Too bad, we could have done better
Em9             A13
Next time we'll know
Em9     A13
So sad, should have been

Bridge:
        Dm7                   D7
If only wishing could make it so
     C#m7                 F#7    Bm   Bm/A
In a thousand years we'll meet again
         Bm/Ab                Gmaj7           A    D A7
With the saddest smile you'll ask me how I've been

Chorus: (3x)
              G          D
I'm gonna say so far, so good
