Better Days chords
Bruce Springsteen *

E

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

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

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

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

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

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