Eb
Now I can sing you the story line
 Ebm
And if you like my story fine
 B                      C#
But ain?t none of the glory mine
 Eb
See my life was a lonely one
 Ebm
And I was dear momma's only son
 B                          C#
With no idea of what I?m gonna become
 Eb
And I didn?t have long to know
 Ebm
That you don?t have to be grown to go
 B                   C#
I could have died so long before
 Eb
Then I finally saw the sign
 Ebm
And I made it on down the line
 B              C#
One step at a time

 Cm
I feel a lil better
 Eb
I can smile at it now
 Bbm
I feel a lil better ?hah
 Cm
Oh better
 Eb                               Bbm
And even a little is still a lil better
  C#
Oh have mercy on me

 Eb
Ooh it?s probably plain to see
 Ebm
That I got a whole lot of pain in me
 B                  C#
And it will always remain in me
 Eb
So cold it?s a crying shame
 Ebm
Yet here I am trying again
 B                    C#
Cause I refuse to die in vain
 Eb
The circumstances put soul in me
 Ebm
And there ain?t no holding me
 B                       C#
I?ve got a heart made of gold in me
 Eb
Can you believe this is where I?ve been?
 Ebm
And when adversity comes again
 B                C#
I?ll deal with it then

 Cm
I feel better
 Eb
I can laugh at it now
 Bbm
I feel better ?Ha ha
 Cm
Oh better
 Eb
And even a little is still a little better
 C#
Oh have mercy on me

 Eb
I said everything's fine you can take your time
 Ebm
What would be on your mind if you knew you was dyin'
 B                               C#
I would wanna just feel this a one more time
 Eb
I said everything's fine you can take your time
 Ebm
What would be on your mind if you knew you was dyin'
 B                                C#
I would wanna just feel this a one more time
 Eb
I wanna thank you morning sun
 Ebm
I wanna thank you lowly dirt
 B                        C#
Now I know I?m not the only one
 Eb
I, I wanna thank you friendly ghost
 Ebm
When all the calls were close
 B                         C#
It seems like you care the most
 Eb
I, I wanna thank you mom and dad
 Ebm
For hurting me so bad
 B                   C#
But you?re the best I ever had
 Eb
I, I wanna thank you
