Frank Turner - Get Better
NOTE: All "(RIFFS)" are completely optional.
It's something I came up with to 'thicken' the song when played acoustically.
It incorporates Ben's lead line into the playing of Frank's chords.

-INTRO-

G5
-VERSE-
I've got me a sG5hovel
I'm digging a dEm7itch
And I'm gonna fGsus4ight for this four square feet of land like a mG5ean old son-of-a-bD/F#itch
I've got me a fG5uture
I'm not stuck on the pEm7ast
I've got no new tGsus4ricks, yeah, I'm up on bricks, but, me, I'm a macG5hine and I was built to lD/F#ast
-CHORUS-
I'm tCrying to get better 'cause I hD/F#aven't been G5my best
She took a Cplain black marker and started wD/F#riting on Emmy chest
She drew a lCine across the middle of my bD/F#roken heart and said &qG5uot;come on now let'sG/F# fix Emthis mess"
We can get bCetter D/F#
G5 (RIFF 1)
Because we're not dead yet
-VERSE-
They threw me a wG5hirlwind
And I spat back a sEmea
I took a batteCring but I've got thicker skin and the best people I kG5now are looking out for D/F#me
So, I'm taking the hG5igh road
My engine's running high and fEmine
May, I always see the rCoad rising up to me and my enemies defG5eated in the mirror beD/F#hind
-CHORUS-
I'm tCrying to get better 'cause I hD/F#aven't been G5my best
She took a Cplain black marker and started wD/F#riting on Emmy chest
She drew a lCine across the middle of my bD/F#roken heart and said &qG5uot;come on now let'sG/F# fix Emthis mess"
We can get bCetter D/F#
Because we're not dead G5*yet
-BRIDGE-
It's just a G/Dknot in the small of your back G/C#
You can work it outG/C with your fG/Aingers
It's just some nG/Dumbers tangled up in your sG/C#ongs
You can work it outG/C with your fG/Aingers
It's just a G/Dtune that gets stuck in your heG/C#ad
You can work it outG/C with your fG/Aingers
It's just a sG/Dimple --- missing from the pG/C#ast and your mess
A remG/Cinder you could always be a lAmittle bit better than thD/F#is
-CHORUS-
CTry and get better and don't eD/F#ver accG5ept less
Take your pClain black marker and wD/F#rite this on yEmour chest
Draw a lCine underneath all of this unhD/F#appiness
CG5ome on now let's fixG/F# this Emmess
We can get bCetter D/F#
G5 G/F# Em (RIFF 2 & 3)
Because we're not dead yet
C D/F# (RIFF 4 & 5)
We can get better
