I Wanna Get Better Tab by Bleachers

Hey, I (E major) hear the voice of a preach (Bsus4) er

from the back room

(Aadd9) Calling my name and I fol (Bsus4) low just to find you

(E major) I trace the faith

to a bro (Bsus4) ken down television (Aadd9)

And put on the weather (Bsus4)

And I've (E major) trained myself to give up (Bsus4) on the past

'cause I (Aadd9) froze in time

between hear (Bsus4) ses and caskets

(E major) Lost control when I pan (Bsus4) icked

at the acid test (Aadd9)

I wanna get bet (Bsus4) ter

While my (E major) friends were getting (Bsus4) high

and chasing girls down (Aadd9) parkway lines

I (Bsus4) was losing my mind because the (E major) love,

the love, the (Bsus4) love, the love, the love

That I (Aadd9) gave (Bsus4) wasted on a nice face

(E major) In a blaze (Bsus4) of fear I put a helmet on a (Aadd9) helmet

Counting seconds (Bsus4) through the night

and got carried away (E major)

So (Bsus4) now I'm standing on the overpass

(Aadd9) screaming at the cars

(Bsus4) "Hey, I wanna get

(E major) (better!") I didn't know (Bsus4) I was lonely (Aadd9)

'til I saw (Bsus4) your face

(E major) I wanna get bet (Bsus4) ter,

(Aadd9) better, better, bet (Bsus4) ter

I wanna get (E major) better

I didn't know (Bsus4) I was broken (Aadd9)

'til I wanted (Bsus4) to change

(E major) I wanna get bet (Bsus4) ter,

(Aadd9) better, better, bet (Bsus4) ter

I wanna get...

I go (E major) up to my room

and there's girls (Bsus4) on the ceiling

(Aadd9) Cut out their pictures

and I chase (Bsus4) that feeling

Of an (E major) eighteen year old

who didn't (Bsus4) know what loss was (Aadd9)

Now I'm a stranger (Bsus4)

And (E major) I miss the days of (Bsus4) a life still permanent

(Aadd9) Mourn the years (Bsus4) before I got carried away (E major)

So (Bsus4) now I'm staring at the interstate

(Aadd9) screaming at myself

(Bsus4) "Hey, I wanna get

(E major) (better!") I didn't know (Bsus4) I was lonely (Aadd9)

'til I saw (Bsus4) your face

(E major) I wanna get bet (Bsus4) ter,

(Aadd9) better, better, bet (Bsus4) ter

I wanna get (E major) better

I didn't know (Bsus4) I was broken (Aadd9)

'til I wanted (Bsus4) to change

(E major) I wanna get bet (Bsus4) ter,

(Aadd9) better, better, bet (Bsus4) ter

I wanna get...

(F sharp major) Better, 'cause I'm sleeping

in the back of a (B/F#) taxi

I'm screaming from my bedroom (F sharp major) window

Even if it's gonna

(B/F#) kill me

(E5) Woke up this morning (B5) early before my family

(A5) From this dream

(B5) where she was trying to show me

(E5) How a life (B5) can move from the darkness (A5)

She said to (B5) get better

So I (E5) put a bullet (B5) where I shoulda put helmet

And I (A5) crash my car

(B5) 'cause I wanna get carried away (E5)

That's (B5) why I'm standing on the overpass

(A5) screaming at myself

"Hey, I wanna get

(E major) (better!") I didn't know (Bsus4) I was lonely (Aadd9)

'til I saw (Bsus4) your face

(E major) I wanna get bet (Bsus4) ter,

(Aadd9) better, better, bet (Bsus4) ter

I wanna get (E major) better

I didn't know (Bsus4) I was broken (Aadd9)

'til I wanted (Bsus4) to change

(E major) I wanna get bet (Bsus4) ter,

(Aadd9) better, better, bet (Bsus4) ter

I wanna get

(E major) (better) (Bsus4) (Aadd9) (Bsus4)
