VERSE/
G/C G
Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room
F G
Calling my name and I follow just to find you
G/C G F G
I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather
G/C G
And I've trained myself to give up on the past 'cause
F G
I frozen time between hearses and caskets
G/C G
Lost control when I panicked at the acid test
F G
I wanna get better
G/C G F
While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines
G G/C G
I was losing my mind 'cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love
F G
That I gave wasted on a nice face
G/C G F
In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet
G G/C
Counting seconds through the night and got carried away
G F
So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars,
G
"Hey, I wanna get better!"
CHORUS/
G/C G F G
I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
G/C G F G
I wanna get better, better, better, better,
I wanna get better
G/C G F G
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
G/C G F G
I wanna get better, better, better, better,
I wanna get better
VERSE/
[Repeat Verse Method]
G/C G
I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling
F G
Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling
G/C G
Of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was
F G
Now I'm a stranger
G/C G
And I miss the days of a life still permanent
F G
Mourn the years before I got carried away
G/C G F
So now I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself,
G
"Hey, I wanna get better!"
[CHORUS]
BRIDGE/
D A G
'Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
A D
I'm screaming from my bedroom window
A G
Even if its gonna kill me
VERSE/
G/C G
Woke up this morning early before my family
F G
From this dream where she was trying to show me
G/C G
How a life can move from the darkness
F G
She said to get better
G/C G
So I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet
F G
And I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away
G/C G F
That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself,
G
"Hey, I wanna get better!"
[CHORUS]
Pretty easy! *For the bridge, you can use open chords as it's easier.
