Better Days chords
Bruce Springsteen *

E MajorE

    E MajorE
Well my soul checked out missing as I sat listening
                 C# minorC#m
To the hours and minutes tickin' away
     F# minorF#m
Yeah just sittin' around waitin' for my life to begin
                A augmentedA
While it was all just slippin' away
  E MajorE
I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come
                     C# minorC#m
Or that train to come roarin' 'round the bend
    F# minorF#m
I got a new suit of clothes a pretty red rose
             A augmentedA
And a woman I can call my friend

         E MajorE
These are better days baby
                 A augmentedA
Yeah there's better days shining through
         E MajorE
These are better days baby
    F# minorF#m     A augmentedA     E MajorE
Better days with a girl like you

    E MajorE
Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss
              C# minorC#m
It's like eatin' caviar and dirt
   F# minorF#m
It's sad funny ending to find yourself pretending
              A augmentedA
A majorA rich man in a poor man's shirt
    E MajorE
Now my ass was draggin' when from a passin' gypsy wagon
             C# minorC#m
Your heart like a diamond shone
      F# minorF#m
Tonight I'm layin' in your arms carvin' lucky charms
            A augmentedA
Out of these hard luck bones

         E MajorE
These are better days baby
              A augmentedA
These are better days it's true
         E MajorE
These are better days
        F# minorF#m A augmentedA    E MajorE
There's better days shining through
   E MajorE
Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure
             C# minorC#m
Don't make much for tragedy
      F# minorF#m
But it's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin
             A augmentedA
And can't stand the company
   E MajorE
Every fool's got a reason for feelin' sorry for himself
             C# minorC#m
And turning his heart to stone
       F# minorF#m
Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell
              A augmentedA
And I feel like I'm comin' home

         E MajorE
These are better days baby
              A augmentedA
These are better days it's true
         E MajorE
These are better days
        F# minorF#m A augmentedA    E MajorE
There's better days shining through

         E MajorE
These are better days baby
                 A augmentedA
Yeah there's better days shining through
         E MajorE
These are better days baby
    F# minorF#m     A augmentedA     E MajorE
Better days with a girl like you 2x
