[Verse 1]
C
hey i hear the voice of a preacher from the back room
F
calling my name and i follow just to find you
C G
i trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather
C
and i’ve trained myself to give up on the past
F
cause i frozen time between hearses and caskets
C
lost control when i panicked at the acid test
G
i wanna get better
[Verse 2]
C F
while my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines i was losing my mind
C G
cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love that i gave wasted on a nice face
C F C
in a blaze of fear i put a helmet on a helmet counting seconds through the night and got carried away
[Pre-Chorus]
G
so now I’m standing on the overpass screaming at the cars hey I wanna get better
[Chorus]
C F
i didn’t know i was lonely til i saw your face
C G
i wanna get better
C F
i didn’t know i was broken til i wanted to change
C G
i wanna get better
[Verse 3]
C
i go up to my room and there’s girls on the ceiling
F
cut out their pictures and i chase that feeling
C
of an eighteen year old, who didn’t know what loss was
G
now i’m a stranger
C
and i miss the days of a life still permanent
F C
mourn the years before i got carried away
[Pre-Chorus]
G
so now i’m staring at the interstate, screaming at myself hey i wanna get better
[Bridge]
C F
cause I’m sleeping in the back of a taxi
C
i’m screaming from my bedroom window
F
even if it’s gonna kill me
[Verse 4]
C
woke up this morning early before my family
F
from this dream where she was trying to show me
C G
how a life can move from the darkness, she said to get better
C F C
so i put a bullet where i shoulda out a helmet and i crash my car cause i wanna get carried away
G
that’s why i’m standing on the overpass screaming at myself, hey, I WANNA GET BETTER
