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