Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

🎸 Intro: 

G B7 E C# F#m B7 E



🎸 Verse 1:
           E
I got your back no matter what
            C#m
Even if you fuck up
F#m
I know you're just lookin' for love
                      B7
In the last place you left it
               E
I promise I'll get it
  D                                A
I just don't wanna see you gettin' hurt again
F#m                               Am
Goin' against the best advice of all your friends|
N.C.
So let's pick up the conversation

Refrain:
          E
'Bout how you deserve better
I was happy when you left her
      F#m
And I really fuckin' hate her
But I swear I'd make an effort
       B
If she made you happy
But she doesn't make you happy
      E                              D
She's hot and she's familiar, so you let her treat you badly
A                                Am
  I really can't strеss this enough

🎸 Chorus: 
E
It takes some timе, it hurts 'til it doesn't
G#
Lonely nights, they come by the dozen
A
Everyone loves you, that's just it
Am
I promise that it's gonna get better than this
E
It takes some time, but wait 'til it happens
G#
Someone better than you can imagine
A
Everyone loves you, that's just it
Am
I promise that it's gonna get better than this

🎸 Verse 2:
           E
I got your back no matter what
Everybody's got their blind spots
     C#m
But you've been looking through 'em a lot
                      B
You're distorting the memories
                  E
And I can see you forgetting
             D                            A
Why we wrote down "eleven reasons not to fuck with her"
                                          Am
She texts you once and now you're waiting up for her

🎸 Chorus: 
E
It takes some timе, it hurts 'til it doesn't
G#
Lonely nights, they come by the dozen
A
Everyone loves you, that's just it
Am
I promise that it's gonna get better than this
E
It takes some time, but wait 'til it happens
G#
Someone better than you can imagine
A
Everyone loves you, that's just it
Am
I promise that it's gonna get better than this

Post-🎸 Chorus: 
E
Better than this, better than this (I promise that it's gonna get better than this)
G#
I promise that it's gonna get better than this (I promise that it's gonna get better than this)
A
Better than this, better than this
Am
I promise that it's gonna get better

Refrain:
E
I'm not tryna pressur
But I was happy when you left her
      F#m
And I really fuckin' hate her
      Am
But I swear I'd make an effort
       B
If she made you happy
But she doesn't make you happy
      C#m             G#m             B                A
She's hot and she's familiar, so you let her treat you badly
                           Am
I really can't stress this enough

🎸 Chorus: 
E
It takes some timе, it hurts 'til it doesn't
G#
Lonely nights, they come by the dozen
A
Everyone loves you, that's just it
Am
I promise that it's gonna get better than this
E
It takes some time, but wait 'til it happens
G#
Someone better than you can imagine
A
Everyone loves you, that's just it
Am
I promise that it's gonna get better than this

Post-🎸 Chorus: 
E
Better than this, better than this (I promise that it's gonna get better than this)
G#
I promise that it's gonna get better than this (I promise that it's gonna get better than this)
A
Better than this, better than this
Am
I promise that it's gonna get better
