[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][G]
Well [D]my soul

[Verse 1]
[G]checked
out missing as I sat
listening to the hours and minutes
ticking [Em]away
Yeah, just [Am]sitting around
waiting for my life to [C]begin
It was all just slippin' away
[D]And I'm [G]tired of waitin'
for tomorrow to come
[D]Well, [G]that train come rollin' round the ben[Em]d
I got a [Am]new suit of clothes,
a pretty red rose
[C]An d a woman I can call my friend
[D]These are better [G]days, baby
[D]Bet[G]ter days shining thr[C]ough,
these are better [G]days baby,
better [C]days with a [D]girl like [G]you
[D]Well [G]I took a piss,
that fortune sweet kiss,
it's like eating caviar and dirt
[Em]It's a sad f[Am]unny ending
To find yourself pretending
A [C]rich man in a poor man's shirt
[D]Now my [G]ass was dragging
From a passing country wagon
Your heart like a diamond shone
[Em]Tonight I'm layi[Am]ng in your arms
I'm carving lucky charms
[C]Out of these hard luck bones
These [D]are better [G]days, baby
[D]These are bet[G]ter days, it's true

Don't make much for a [Em]tragedy
But it's a [Am]sad man, my friend,
who's living in his own skin
[C]Can't stand the company
[D]Every foo[G]l's got a reason
For feelin' sorry for himsel[D]f
An[G]d turn his heart right
into [Em]stone
Tonight this [Am]fool's halfway to heaven
And just a mile out of hell
[C]And I feel like I'm comin' home
[D]These are better [G]days, baby
[D]There's bet[G]ter days shinin' through
[C]These are better [G]days, baby
Better [C]days with a [D]girl like [G]you
[C]These are [D]better [G]days, baby
These are better days, it's true
[C]These are better [G]days, baby
Better [C]days are [D]shin
[G]ing through[D][G][D][G]
I'm [D]not I'm [G]a fool
I'm a fool [D]a fool
[G]I'm a
