VERSE/
  G/C          G+G
Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room
FF           G+G
Calling my name and I follow just to find you
G/C          G+G           FF        G+G
I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather
 G/C           G+G
And I've trained myself to give up on the past 'cause
 FF          G+G
I frozen time between hearses and caskets
G/C        G+G
Lost control when I panicked at the acid test

FF      G+G
I wanna get better

     G/C             G+G          FF
While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines
    G+G            G/C             G+G
I was losing my mind 'cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love
   FF   G+G
That I gave wasted on a nice face
G/C        G+G          FF
In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet
              G+G              G/C
Counting seconds through the night and got carried away
      G+G            FF
So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars,
G+G
"Hey, I wanna get better!"

CHORUS/

G/C     G+G    FF      G+G
I didn?t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
G/C     G+G    FF        G+G
I wanna get better, better, better, better,
I wanna get better
G/C     G+G    FF      G+G
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
G/C     G+G    FF        G+G
I wanna get better, better, better, better,
I wanna get better

VERSE/

[Repeat Verse Method]
G/C              G+G
I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling
FF              G+G
Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling
   G/C          G+G
Of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was
FF     G+G
Now I'm a stranger

G/C           G+G
And I miss the days of a life still permanent
FF        G+G
Mourn the years before I got carried away
G/C       G+G           FF
 So now I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself,
G+G
"Hey, I wanna get better!"

[CHORUS]

BRIDGE/
D MajorD      A augmentedA            G+G
 'Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
   A augmentedA            D MajorD
I'm screaming from my bedroom window
A augmentedA         G+G
Even if its gonna kill me

VERSE/
G/C         G+G
Woke up this morning early before my family
FF           G+G
From this dream where she was trying to show me
G/C       G+G
How a life can move from the darkness
FF        G+G
She said to get better

G/C            G+G
 So I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet
   FF           G+G
And I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away
G/C       G+G            FF
That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself,
G+G
"Hey, I wanna get better!"

[CHORUS]
