Better Than I Used To Be chords by Mat Kearney

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Chorus:
              D       A            F#m     E
We used to be kids in the backseat wastin' time
              D          A
Talkin' 'bout high hopes and daydreams
F#m            E
 Never thought love, never thought life
      D           A                      F#m E
Could take us far beyond what we believed
   D            A                    F#m E
As long as I got your love next to me

I'm better than I used to be

Verse 1:
       D            A
I been chasin' this dream
       F#m           E
I'm so glad you understand
D             A                  F#m              E
Climbing up a mountain, would it leave you hardly standing
D            A  F#m          E
Things don't go just the way you planned it
      D             A             F#m              E
But I never thought we'd have, so much to take for granted

It's been a long day alone

And I can hardly stand it
   D             A
My plane leaves tomorrow
       F#m           E
But my heart has already landed
D             A   F#m          E
Things didn't go, just the way I planned it
