E                          Bsus4
Hey I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room.
A                      Bsus4
Calling my name and I follow just to find you.
E                          Bsus4              A                 Bsus4
I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather.
E                              Bsus4
And I've trained myself to give up on the past.
A                               Bsus4
Cause I frozen time between hearses and caskets.
E                       Bsus4
Lost control when I panicked at the acid test.
A               Bsus4
I wanna get better.
E                            Bsus4                                A
While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines I was
   Bsus4
losing my mind.
E                                     Bsus4                     A     Bsus4
Cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love that I gave wasted on a nice face.
E              Bsus4                     A                            Bsus4
In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet counting seconds through the night and got carried away.

N.C.
So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars: Hey, I wanna get better!


[Chorus]

E        Bsus4         A           Bsus4          E
I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face.
             Bsus4     A               Bsus4               E
I wanna get better, better, better, better, I wanna get better.
E          Bsus4        A            Bsus4         E
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change.
             Bsus4     A               Bsus4               E
I wanna get better, better, better, better, I wanna get better.


[Verse 2]

E                                Bsus4
I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling.
A                             Bsus4
Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling
E                                Bsus4
of an eighteen year old, who didn't know what loss was.
A                   Bsus4
Now I'm a stranger.
E                           Bsus4
And I miss the days of a life still permanent.
A                 Bsus4                     E
Mourn the years before I got carried away.

N.C.
So now I'm staring at the interstate, screaming at myself: hey, I wanna get better!


[Chorus]

E        Bsus4         A           Bsus4          E
I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face.
             Bsus4     A               Bsus4               E
I wanna get better, better, better, better, I wanna get better.
E          Bsus4        A            Bsus4         E
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change.
             Bsus4     A               Bsus4               E
I wanna get better, better, better, better, I wanna get better.


[Bridge]

F#                                   Bsus4
Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi.
                                 F#
I'm screaming from my bedroom window.
                    Bsus4
Even if it's gonna kill me.

E Bsus4 A Bsus4 (x4)


[Verse 3]

E                      Bsus4
Woke up this morning early before my family.
A                        Bsus4
From this dream where she was trying to show me.
E                Bsus4               A                   Bsus4
How a life can move from the darkness, she said to get better.
   E                       Bsus4                     A                  Bsus4
So I, put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet and I, crash my car cause I wanna get carried away.

Bsus4                                       A                Bsus4 N.C.
That’s why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself, hey, I wanna get better!


[Chorus]

E        Bsus4         A           Bsus4          E
I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face.
             Bsus4     A               Bsus4               E
I wanna get better, better, better, better, I wanna get better.
E          Bsus4        A            Bsus4         E
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change.
             Bsus4     A               Bsus4               E
I wanna get better, better, better, better, I wanna get better.
