Intro: E Bsus4 A Bsus4 (2x) Couplet 1 E Bsus4 Hey I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room A Bsus4 Calling my name and I follow just to find you E Bsus4 A Bsus4 I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather E Bsus4 And i've trained myself to give up on the past A Bsus4 Cause I frozen time between hearses and caskets E Bsus4 Lost control when I panicked at the acid test A Bsus4 I wanna get better E Bsus4 A While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines I was Bsus4 losing my mind E Bsus4 A Bsus4 Cause the love the love the love the love the love that I gave wasted on a nice face E Bsus4 A Bsus4 In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet counting seconds through the night and got carried away N.C. So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars Hey I wanna get betterCouplet 2 E Bsus4 I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling A Bsus4 Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling E Bsus4 of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was A Bsus4 Now I'm a stranger E Bsus And I miss the days of a life still permanent A Bsus4 E Mourn the years before I got carried away N.C. So now I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself hey I wanna get betterE Bsus4 A Bsus4 E I didn't know I was lonely til I saw your face Bsus4 A Bsus4 E I wanna get better better better better I wanna get better E Bsus4 A Bsus4 E I didn't know I was broken til I wanted to change Bsus4 A Bsus4 E I wanna get better better better better I wanna get betterBridge F# Bsus4 Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi F# I'm screaming from my bedroom window Bsus4 Even if it's gonna kill me E Bsus4 A Bsus4 (4x) E Bsus4 Woke up this morning early before my family A Bsus4 From this dream where she was trying to show me E Bsus4 A Bsus4 How a life can move from the darkness she said to get better E Bsus4 A Bsus4 So I put a bullet where I shoulda out a helmet and I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away E Bsus4 N.C.
