It Does Not Get Better chords by Jordaan Mason

Key: C

🎸 Chorus:
C           Am
It does not get better
F            G
It just gets heavier (x2)
              C       Am
the days grew darker, shorter



    F          G       C
our own worlds weren't enough
           Am         F
to help us stay above the weight of what
G                C
the world really was
Am
i saw it in your face
F              G        C
every day when you returned
        Am            F
that no amount of stargazing
      G        C
would undo the hurt
            Am
i wanted to save you
          F    C
but i was also stuck
         Am
if i cannot save you
             F     C
can we still be in love?
               Am
if it does not get better
F              G
will you still stay here? (x3)
              C         Am
the days grew brighter, longer
   F        G     C
we left the house again
            Am                F
we lost our keys, scraped our knees
    G          C
and forgot our plans
        Am        F
i had a dream you laughed at me
       G          C
when i asked for help
              Am           F
but you were there when i awoke
         G         C
and your warmth i felt
            Am           F
still every day nothing changed
      G            F
i was locked in my head
C              Am                 F
but you stayed here and dried my tears
         G          C
on your sleeve and said:
             Am
"if it does not get better
F                  G
at least we'll be together."
