I Wanna Get Better - The Bleachers
Alignment may be an issue. Also, I'm not sure if I got the right key; so add a capo where needed...
Feel free to message me or comment suggestions/corrections!

All chords are barre, but I think you could pull it off using regular chords.

D/A , Dsus2 , G , A
[Verse 1]
D/AHey, I hear the voice of a preachDsus2er from the back room

D/AI trace the faith to a brokDsus2en down television
GAnd put on the weathAer
D/AAnd I've trained myself to give uDsus2p on the past 'cause
GI frozen time between hAearses and caskets
D/ALost control when I paniDsus2cked at the acid test
GI wanna get betAter
D/AWhile my friends were gettiDsus2ng high and chasing girls down parkway Glines I was losing myA mind
BD/Aecause the love, the love, theDsus2 love, the love, the love thatG I gave, waAsted on a nice face
ID/An a blaze of fearDsus2 I put a helmet on a heGlmet, counting seconds Athrough the night
and got carD/Aried away So now Dsus2I'm standing on the overpass sGcreaming at the cars,
A"Hey, I wanna get better!"
[Chorus]
D/AI didnâ?Dsus2?t know I wasG lonely 'til AI saw yourD/A face
I wanna getDsus2 better, better, bettGer, better A
I wanna gAet better
D/AI didn't Dsus2know I was brokeGn 'til i wanteAd to changeD/A
I wanna getDsus2 better, better, bettGer, better A
I wanna gAet better
[Verse 2]
D/AI go up to my room and there's giDsus2rls on the ceiling
GCut out their pictures and I cAhase that feeling
D/AOf an eighteen year old who didn't Dsus2know what loss was
GNow I'm a stAranger
D/AAnd I miss the days of a life still Dsus2permanent
GMourn the years befoAre I got carried awD/Aay!
So now I'm staring aDsus2t the interstate screamingG at myself,
"Hey, I wanna Aget better!"
[Chorus]

I wanna getDsus2 better, better, bettGer, better A
I wanna gAet better
D/AI didn't Dsus2know I was brokeGn 'til i wanteAd to changeD/A
I wanna getDsus2 better, better, bettGer, better A
I wanna gAet better
