Frank Turner - Get Better

NOTE: The 'Optional Riff' is something I came up with to 'thicken' the song when played acoustically.
It incorporates Ben's lead line into the playing of the G5G5 chord.

G5G5 (Optional Riff)

-VERSE-
        G5G5
I've got me a shovel
        E minor 7Em7
I'm digging a ditch
        Gsus4Gsus4                     G5G5        D/F#D/F#
And I'm gonna fight for this four square feet of land like a mean old son-of-a-bitch

        G5G5
I've got me a future
           E minor 7Em7
I'm not stuck on the past
         Gsus4Gsus4                      G5G5            D/F#D/F#
I've got no new tricks, yeah, I'm up on bricks, but, me, I'm a machine and I was built to last


-CHORUS-
   C majorC               D/F#D/F#    G5G5
I'm trying to get better 'cause I haven't been my best
      C majorC                D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
She took a plain black marker and started writing on my chest
      C majorC              D/F#D/F#          G5G5          G/F# E minorEm
She drew a line across the middle of my broken heart and said "come on now let's fix this mess"
      C majorC   D/F#D/F#
We can get better
            G5G5 (Optional Riff)
Because we're not dead yet

-VERSE-
         G5G5
They threw me a whirlwind
          E minorEm
And I spat back a sea
       C majorC                           G5G5           D/F#D/F#
I took a battering but I've got thicker skin and the best people I know are looking out for me

          G5G5
So, I'm taking the high road
               E minorEm
My engine's running high and fine
            C majorC                   G5G5          D/F#D/F#
May, I always see the road rising up to me and my enemies defeated in the mirror behind


-CHORUS-
   C majorC               D/F#D/F#    G5G5
I'm trying to get better 'cause I haven't been my best
      C majorC                D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
She took a plain black marker and started writing on my chest
      C majorC              D/F#D/F#          G5G5          G/F# E minorEm
She drew a line across the middle of my broken heart and said "come on now let's fix this mess"
      C majorC   D/F#D/F#
We can get better
            G5*
Because we're not dead yet


-BRIDGE-
      G/DG/D              G/C#
It's just a knot in the small of your back
          G/C     G/AG/A
You can work it out with your fingers

      G/DG/D               G/C#
It's just a knot that's tangled up in your songs
          G/C     G/AG/A
You can work it out with your fingers

      G/DG/D              G/C#
It's just a tune that is stuck in your head
          G/C     G/AG/A
You can work it out with your fingers

       G/DG/D             G/C#
It's just a simple --- missing from the parts of your mess
   G/C             A minorAm           D/F#D/F#
A augmentedA reminder you could always be a little bit better than this


-CHORUS-
C majorC               D/F#D/F#  G5G5
Try and get better and don't ever accept less
      C majorC           D/F#D/F#     E minorEm
Take your plain black marker and write this on your chest
    C majorC               D/F#D/F#
Draw a line underneath all of this unhappiness
 G5G5         G/F# E minorEm
Come on now let's fix this mess
      C majorC   D/F#D/F#
We can get better
            G5G5 G/F# E minorEm
Because we're not dead yet
      C majorC   D/F#D/F#
We can get better
            G5G5 (Optional Riff)
