** (C#m) is not played by the guitar in the recording but is alluded to by the bass. Sounds best to play it
if you are playing solo guitar.
[Intro]
F#m
[Verse 1]
F#m B7
Drawn to the sorta library magic
E A
Whispering through the dusty aisles
F#m
Watching all the thinkers read
B7
Trying to keep a grown man quiet's like
E
Pulling teeth on a winters eve
A
Cracks and poles and unfamiliar roads
F#m B7 E
I'm on this one to find out
[Verse 2]
F#m B7
Veggie gas and brothers harass
E A
Can stay up here in the cloud of eyes
F#m B7
Listening to my every move
E
Just trying to survive
F#m B7 E
Self-imposed adventure that selfishness drives
F#m
I can barely keep my head above the blue
B7
Trying to keep it off me and you
[Chorus]
E C#m **
And I can see the sunshine's rays
A B7
Gleaming through the clear water
E C#m **
Telling me what happened before
A
This chapter's arrived
F#m B7 E
There will always be better days
F#m B7 E
There will always be better days
[Verse 3]
F#m B7
Making music is what we do
E A
Trying to weave the patterns for me and you
F#m B7
Trying to make the grasses green
E
And the grown man cry
[Verse 4]
F#m B7
Truth and Life is where I gleam
E
Tangled up in a funnel's wind
F#m
Trying to come out walking
B7
Understand it's beyond me talking
F#m
Trying to come out walking
B7
Understand it's beyond me talking
[Chorus]
E C#m **
And I can see the sunshine's rays
A B7
Gleaming through the clear water
E C#m **
Telling me what happened before
A
This chapter's arrived
F#m B7 E
There will always be better days
F#m B7 E
There will always be better days
[Bridge]
F#m
Being alone isn't lonely
B7
Sought after like a holiday
F#m
Being alone is my vacation
B7
Postcard dreams, a full-sized bed
[Verse 5]
F#m B7
Quit the band one too many times
E A
Serious enough to get a rise
F#m B7
Get up in the next morning
E
For another drive, that's a promise
F#m B7
The best advice we ever received
E
Is for you and me to stay here together
F#m B7
It's easier to begin and hard to end
F#m B7
I'm just glad to go through it all with you as a friend
[Chorus]
E C#m **
And I can see the sunshine's rays
A B7
Gleaming through the clear water
E C#m **
Telling me what happened before
A
This chapter's arrived
F#m B7 E
There will always be better days
F#m B7 E
There will always be better days
F#m B7 E
There will always be better days
