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