Intro- E Bsus4 A Bsus4 (2x)

Couplet 1
E                          Bsus4
Hey I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room.

A                      Bsus4
Calling my name and I follow just to find you.

E                          Bsus4              A                 Bsus4
I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather.

E                              Bsus4
And i've trained myself to give up on the past.

A                               Bsus4
Cause I frozen time between hearses and caskets.

E                       Bsus4
Lost control when I panicked at the acid test.

A               Bsus4
I wanna get better.

E                            Bsus4                                A
While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines I was

   Bsus4
losing my mind.

E                                     Bsus4                     A     Bsus4
Cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love that I gave wasted on a nice face.

E              Bsus4                     A                            Bsus4
In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet counting seconds through the night and got 
carried away.

(no chords)
So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars: Hey, I wanna get better!

Refrain
E        Bsus4         A          Bsus4          E
I didn't know I was lonely til I saw your face.

             Bsus4    A               Bsus4               E
I wanna get better,better, better, better, I wanna get better.

E          Bsus4        A           Bsus4         E
I didn't know I was broken til I wanted to change.

             Bsus4    A               Bsus4               E
I wanna get better,better, better, better, I wanna get better.

Couplet 2
E                                Bsus4
I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling.

A                             Bsus4
Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling

E                                Bsus4
of an eighteen year old, who didn't know what loss was.

A                   Bsus4
Now I'm a stranger.

E                           Bsus$
And I miss the days of a life still permanent.

A                 Bsus4                     E
Mourn the years before I got carried away.

(no chords)
So now I'm staring at the interstate, screaming at myself: hey, I wanna get better!

Refrain
E        Bsus4         A          Bsus4          E
I didn't know I was lonely til I saw your face.

             Bsus4    A               Bsus4               E
I wanna get better,better, better, better, I wanna get better.

E          Bsus4        A           Bsus4         E
I didn't know I was broken til I wanted to change.

             Bsus4    A               Bsus4               E
I wanna get better,better, better, better, I wanna get better.

Bridge
F#                                   Bsus4
Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi.

                                 F#
I'm screaming from my bedroom window.

                    Bsus4
Even if it's gonna kill me.

E Bsus4 A Bsus4(4x)

E                      Bsus4
Woke up this morning early before my family.

A                        Bsus4
From this dream where she was trying to show me.

E                Bsus4               A                   Bsus4
How a life can move from the darkness, she said to get better.

   E                       Bsus4                     A                  Bsus4
So I, put a bullet where I shoulda out a helmet and I, crash my car cause I wanna get 
carried away.

E                                         Bsus4              (no chords)
That’s why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself, hey, I wanna get better!

Refrain
E        Bsus4         A          Bsus4          E
I didn't know I was lonely til I saw your face.

E          Bsus4        A           Bsus4         E
I didn't know I was broken til I wanted to change.
