[Intro] E  B4  A  B4
        E  B4  A  B4

E                          B4
Hey I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room
A                      B4
Calling my name and I follow just to find you
E                          B4              A                 B4
I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather
E                              B4
And i've trained myself to give up on the past
A                               B4
Cause I frozen time between hearses and caskets
E                       B4
Lost control when I panicked at the acid test
A               B4
I wanna get better
E                            B4                                A
While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines I was
   B4
Losing my mind
E                                     B4                     A     B4
Cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love that I gave wasted on a nice face
E              B4                     A                            B4
In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet counting seconds through the night and got carried away

So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars: hey, I wanna get better!

[Chorus]

E        B4         A          B4          E
I didn't know I was lonely til I saw your face
             B4    A               B4               E
I wanna get better,better, better, better, I wanna get better
E          B4        A           B4         E
I didn't know I was broken til I wanted to change
             B4    A               B4               E
I wanna get better,better, better, better, I wanna get better

E                                B4
I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling
A                             B4
Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling
E                                B4
of an eighteen year old, who didn't know what loss was
A                   B4
Now I'm a stranger
E                           B4
And I miss the days of a life still permanent
A                 B4                     E
Mourn the years before I got carried away

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

[Chorus]

E        B4         A          B4          E
I didn't know I was lonely til I saw your face
             B4    A               B4               E
I wanna get better,better, better, better, I wanna get better
E          B4        A           B4         E
I didn't know I was broken til I wanted to change
             B4    A               B4               E
I wanna get better,better, better, better, I wanna get better

[Bridge]

F#                                   B4
Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
                                 F#
I'm screaming from my bedroom window
                    B4
Even if it's gonna kill me

( E  B4  A  B4 )

E                      B4
Woke up this morning early before my family
A                        B4
From this dream where she was trying to show me
E                B4               A                   B4
How a life can move from the darkness, she said to get better
   E                       B4                     A                  B4
So I, put a bullet where I shoulda out a helmet and I, crash my car cause I wanna get
carried away
B4                                       A                B4
That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself, hey, I wanna get better!

[Chorus]

E        B4         A          B4          E
I didn't know I was lonely til I saw your face
             B4    A               B4               E
I wanna get better,better, better, better, I wanna get better
E          B4        A           B4         E
I didn't know I was broken til I wanted to change
             B4    A               B4               E
I wanna get better,better, better, better, I wanna get better
