Better Days chords by Kado

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
         Em
I lost a piece of me
    Am                 D
You stole my heart and took away my soul
             Am           C             B7     B
Threw kerosene all on the coal and lit a match, babe
           Em
I tried to reason, did the most
           D
But pocket aces never fold
               C                                        B7
You picked the time and place and showed that you would not cave

Pre-Chorus:
               Em
You can't keep hiding, hiding
           D
Behind the silence
                     Cmaj7
I get caught in your violence, violence
             B7
Know you too well
                Em
There's no more fighting, fighting
             D
So done with trying, trying
             C
I can't keep lying, lying
         B7
Right to myself

Chorus:
Em
I've seen better days
         D
I'm in a world I can't escape
        C
Took me down a path I hate
            B7    B
And left me broken
    Em
And you know you won't change
        D
Forever stuck up in your ways
         Cmaj7
Went and burned the bridge we made
    B7           Bm7
You tore it all down

Post-Chorus:
Em        D
Ooh-ooh-ooh
          C
Ooh-ooh-ooh
         B7
Ooh-ooh-ooh, We've seen better days

Verse 2:
            Em               Am
I lost that time I can't get back
          D              Am
I lost it all, matter of fact
         C            Cmaj7          B7
I wasted every second you were on my mind, babe
               Em             Am
There's trauma that you can't unpack
              D                  C
The feeling's so much worse than that
           Cmaj7              Am                B7
I gave the world and you just laughed without a smile, babe

Pre-Chorus:
               Em
You can't keep hiding, hiding
           D
Behind the silence
                     Cmaj7
I get caught in your violence, violence
             B7
Know you too well
                Em
There's no more fighting, fighting
             D
So done with trying, trying
             C
I can't keep lying, lying
         B7
Right to myself

Chorus:
Em
I've seen better days
         D
I'm in a world I can't escape
        C
Took me down a path I hate
            B7    B
And left me broken
    Em
And you know you won't change
        D
Forever stuck up in your ways
         Cmaj7
Went and burned the bridge we made
    B7           Bm7
You tore it all down

Post-Chorus:
Em        D
Ooh-ooh-ooh
          C
Ooh-ooh-ooh
         B7
Ooh-ooh-ooh, We've seen better days

Em        D
Ooh-ooh-ooh
          C
Ooh-ooh-ooh
         B7
Ooh-ooh-ooh, We've seen better days
