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