[Intro]
I’ve been away for a long time
You’ve been my legs for my whole damn life
I hope that I’m not bothering you
But I hope that you’ve been yourself today
Dm F Am (x2)
[Verse]
Dm F Am
I heard that you got a new job in town
Dm F Am
It pays my bills but it’s getting you down
Dm F Am
I know that it’s been bothering you
A# C
But I don’t really give a damn today
[Chorus]
A#maj7
It gets better, better, better
Dm C
When I hear my mother crying in her sleep
A#maj7
It gets better, better, better
Dm C
When I know that all the crying is for me
[Instrumental] (x2)
Dm F Am
[Verse]
Dm F Am
I’ve been this way for a long time
Dm F Am
You think it’s your fault, but I know that it’s mine
Dm F Am
I know that everybody blames you
A# C
I can’t let you take the blame today
[Chorus] (x2)
A#maj7
It gets better, better, better
Dm C
When I hear my mother crying in her sleep
A#maj7
It gets better, better, better
Dm C
When I know that all the crying is for me
[Outro]
Dm7
I’ve been this way for a long time
