VERSE/
Hey,G/C I hear the voice of a Gpreacher from the back room
FCalling my name and I Gfollow just to find you
G/CI trace the faith to a Gbroken down televisionF and put on the Gweather
AnG/Cd I've trained myself to Ggive up on the past 'cause
I Ffrozen time between Ghearses and caskets
G/CLost control when IG panicked at the acid test
FI wanna get Gbetter
While my G/Cfriends were getting high andG chasing girls down Fparkway lines
I was lGosing my mind 'cause the G/Clove, the love, the love, theG love, the love
That IF gave Gwasted on a nice face
G/CIn a blaze of fearG I put a helmet on aF helmet
Counting seconds through theG night and got carried away G/C
So now I'm sGtanding on the overpass Fscreaming at the cars,
G"Hey, I wanna get better!"
CHORUS/
G/CI didn’t knGow I was Flonely 'til GI saw your face
G/CI wanna get Gbetter, Fbetter, better, Gbetter,
I wanna get better
G/CI didn't knowG I was brFoken 'til I wGanted to change
G/CI wanna get Gbetter, Fbetter, better, Gbetter,
I wanna get better
VERSE/
[Repeat Verse Method]
G/CI go up to my room and there's Ggirls on the ceiling
FCut out their pictures and I Gchase that feeling
Of an G/Ceighteen year old who Gdidn't know what loss was
FNow I'm a Gstranger
G/CAnd I miss the days of a Glife still permanent
FMourn the years bGefore I got carried away
G/C So now I'm staGring at the interstateF screaming at myself,
G"Hey, I wanna get better!"
[CHORUS]
BRIDGE/
D 'Cause I'm Asleeping in the back of aG taxi
I'm sAcreaming from my bedroom Dwindow
AEven if its gonna Gkill me
VERSE/
G/CWoke up this morning Gearly before my family
FFrom this dream where Gshe was trying to show me
G/CHow a life can moGve from the darkness
FShe said to get Gbetter
G/C So I put a bullet where I Gshoulda put a helmet
And IF crash my car cause I Gwanna get carried away
G/CThat's why I'm sGtanding on the overpass sFcreaming at myself,
G"Hey, I wanna get better!"
[CHORUS]
