[Verse I]
D
Hey I hear the voice
A
Of the preacher from the back room
G
Calling my name and
A
I follow just to find you
D
I trace the faith
A
To a broken down television
G A
And put on the weather
D
And I've trained myself
A
To give up on the past
G
Cause I froze in time
A
Between hearses and caskets
D
Lost control when I
A
Panicked at the acid test
G A
I wanna get better
D
While my friends were getting high
A G
And chasing girls down parkway lines
A
I was losing my mind
D
Because the love
A
The love, the love
The love, the love
G
The love, that I gave
A
Wasted on a nice face
D A
In a blaze of fear
G
I put a helmet on a helmet
A
Counting seconds through a night
D
And got carried away
A
So now I'm standing on the overpass
G A
Screaming at the cars, hey
D
I wanna get better!
[Chorus]
A G
I didn't know I was lonely
A D
Til I saw your face
A
I wanna get better
G A
Better, better, better
D
I wanna get better
A G
I didn't know I was broken
A D
Til I wanted to change
A
I wanna get better
G A
Better, better, better
D
I wanna get better
[Verse II]
D
I go up to my room
A
And there's girls on the ceiling
G
Cut out their pictures
A
And I chase that feeling
D
Of an eighteen year old
A
Who didn't know
G
What loss was
A
Now I'm a stranger
D
And I miss the days
A
Of a life still permanent
G A
Mourn the years
D
Before I got carried away
A
So now I'm staring at the interstate
G A
Screaming at myself, hey
D
I wanna get better
[Chorus]
A G
I didn't know I was lonely
A D
Til I saw your face
A
I wanna get better
G A
Better, better, better
D
I wanna get better
A G
I didn't know I was broken
A D
Til I wanted to change
A
I wanna get better
G A
Better, better, better
D
I wanna get better
D A G A (4x)
D
Woke up this morning
A
Early before my family
G A
From this dream
Where she was trying to show me
D A
How a life
Can move from the darkness
G A
She said to get better
D
So I put a bullet
A
Where I should have put a helmet
G
And I crash my car
A D
Cause I wanna get carried away
A
That's why I'm standing on the overpass
G A
Screaming at myself, hey
D
I wanna get better
A G
I didn't know I was lonely
A D
Til I saw your face
A
I wanna get better
G A
Better, better, better
D
I wanna get better
A G
I didn't know I was broken
A D
Til I wanted to change
A
I wanna get better
G A
Better, better, better
D
I wanna get better
