VERSE/
    G/C                    G
Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room 
F                     G
Calling my name and I follow just to find you 
G/C                    G                     F               G
I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather 
  G/C                      G
And I've trained myself to give up on the past 'cause
  F                   G
I frozen time between hearses and caskets 
G/C                G
Lost control when I panicked at the acid test 

F           G
I wanna get better 

         G/C                          G                   F
While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines 
       G                        G/C                          G
I was losing my mind 'cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love
      F     G
That I gave wasted on a nice face 
G/C               G                   F
In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet 
                            G                           G/C
Counting seconds through the night and got carried away
            G                       F                
So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars,
G
"Hey, I wanna get better!"

CHORUS/

G/C          G        F           G
I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face 
G/C         G       F               G
I wanna get better, better, better, better,
I wanna get better
G/C          G        F            G
I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change 
G/C         G       F               G
I wanna get better, better, better, better,
I wanna get better

VERSE/

[Repeat Verse Method]
G/C                            G
I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling 
F                            G
Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling 
      G/C                   G
Of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was 
F         G
Now I'm a stranger 

G/C                      G
And I miss the days of a life still permanent 
F                G
Mourn the years before I got carried away 
G/C             G                     F                       
  So now I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself,
G
"Hey, I wanna get better!"

[CHORUS]

BRIDGE/
D            A                        G
  'Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi 
     A                        D
I'm screaming from my bedroom window 
A                 G
Even if its gonna kill me 

VERSE/
G/C                  G
Woke up this morning early before my family
F                     G
From this dream where she was trying to show me 
G/C              G
How a life can move from the darkness 
F               G
She said to get better 

G/C                        G
 So I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet 
     F                     G
And I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away 
G/C             G                        F       
That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself,
G
"Hey, I wanna get better!"

[CHORUS]

Pretty easy! *For the bridge, you can use open chords as it's easier.
