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
