[Intro 1]
[D][A][G][A]
[D][A][G][A]

[Verse 1]
Hey, [D]I hear the voice of a preache[A]r
from the back room
[G]Calling my name and I follow[A] just to find you
[D]I trace the faith
to a bro[A]ken down televi[G]sion
And put on the weath[A]er
And I've [D]trained myself to give up [A]on the past
'cause [G]I froze in time
between hear[A]ses and caskets
[D]Lost control when I panick[A]ed
at the acid [G]test
I wanna get bet[A]ter

[Verse 2]
While my [D]friends were getting [A]high
and chasing girls down [G]parkway lines
[A]I was losing my mind because the l[D]ove,
the love, the [A]love, the love, the love
That I [G]gave [A]wasted on a nice face
[D]In a blaze of [A]fear I put a helmet on a hel[G]met
Counting seconds [A]through the night
and got carried a[D]way
So [A]now I'm standing on the overpass
[G]screaming at the cars
[A]"Hey, I wanna get

[Chorus 1]
[D](better!") I didn't [A]know I was [G]lonely
'til I [A]saw your face
[D]I wanna get better[A],
[G]better, better, bet[A]ter
I wanna get [D]better
I didn't [A]know I was [G]broken
'til I [A]wanted to change
[D]I wanna get better[A],
[G]better, better, bet[A]ter
I wanna get...

[Verse 3]
I go [D]up to my room
and there's [A]girls on the ceiling
[G]Cut out their pictures
and I [A]chase that feeling
Of an [D]eighteen year old
who [A]didn't know what loss [G]was
Now I'm a [A]stranger
And [D]I miss the days of a[A] life still permanent
[G]Mourn the yea[A]rs before I got carried away[D]
So [A]now I'm staring at the interstate
[G]screaming at myself
[A]"Hey, I wanna get

[Chorus 2]
[D](better!") I didn't [A]know I was [G]lonely
'til I [A]saw your face
[D]I wanna get better[A],
[G]better, better, bet[A]ter
I wanna get [D]better
I didn't [A]know I was [G]broken
'til I [A]wanted to change
[D]I wanna get better[A],
[G]better, better, bet[A]ter

[Bridge 1]
I wanna get...
[E]Better, 'cause I'm sleeping
in the back of a [A]taxi
I'm screaming from my bedroom [E]window
Even if it's gonna [A]kill me

[Verse 4]
[D]Woke up this morning[A] early before my family
[G]From this dream
[A]where she was trying to show me
[D]How a lif[A]e can move from the darknes[G]s
She said to [A]get better
So [D]I put a bullet w[A]here I shoulda put helmet
And [G]I crash my car
[A]'cause I wanna get carried a[D]way
That's [A]why I'm standing on the overpass
[G]screaming at myself

[Chorus 3]
"Hey, I wanna get
[D](better!") I didn't [A]know I was [G]lonely
'til I [A]saw your face
[D]I wanna get better[A],
[G]better, better, bet[A]ter
I wanna get [D]better
I didn't [A]know I was [G]broken
'til I [A]wanted to change
[D]I wanna get better[A],
[G]better, better, bet[A]ter
