[Verse 1]
I got me a [G]shovel
And I'm digging a [Em]ditch
And I'm going to [C]fight
for this four square feet of land
like a [G]mean old son of a [D]bitch
I got me a [G]future
I'm not stuck on the [Em]past
I got no new [C]tricks,
yeah I'm up on bricks but me
I'm a ma[G]chine and I was built to [D]last

[Chorus 1]
I'm [C]trying to get better
because I [D]haven't been [G]my best
She took a [C]plain black marker,
started [D]writing on [Em]my chest
She drew a [C]line across the middle
of my [D]broken heart
And said, [G]come on now,
let's fix [D]this [Em]mess
We could get [C]better
[D]Because we're not dead yet[G]

[Verse 2]
They threw me a whirlwind
And I spat back the [Em]sea
I took a batter[C]ing but I've got thicker skin
and the best people
I [G]know looking out for [D]me
So I'm taking the high [G]road
My engines running high and [Em]fine
May I always see the [C]road
rising up to meet me
And my enemies de[G]feated
in the mirror be[D]hind

[Chorus 2]
I'm [C]trying to get better
because I [D]haven't been [G]my best
She took a [C]plain black marker,
started [D]writing on [Em]my chest
She drew a [C]line across the middle
of my [D]broken heart
And said, [G]come on now,
let's fix [D]this [Em]mess
We could get [C]better
[D]Because we're not dead yet[G]

[Bridge 1]
It's just a [D]knot in in the small of your [A]back
You could work it [C]out with your [A]fingers
It's just a [D]tune that got stuck in your [A]head
You could work it [C]out with your [A]fingers
It's just some [D]numbers
tangled up in your [A]sums
You could work it [C]out with your [A]fingers
It's just a [D]simple
braille mission from the [A]person you miss
A re[C]minder you could always be
A [A]little bit better than [D]this

[Chorus 3]
So [C]try and get better
and don't [D]ever [G]accept less
Take a [C]plain black marker
and [D]write this on [Em]your chest
Draw a [C]line
underneath all of this un[D]happiness
[G]Come on now,
let's fix [D]this [Em]mess
We could get [C]better
[D]Because we're not dead yet[G][Em]
We could get [C]better
[D]Because we're not dead yet[G]
