Better Days - Bruce Springsteen
| D | D | D | D |
Well my soul checked out missing as I sat listening
Bm
To the hours and minutes tickin' away
Em
Yeah just sittin' around waitin' for my life to begin
G
While it was all just slippin' away
D
I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come
Bm
Or that train to come roarin' 'round the bend
Em
I got a new suit of clothes a pretty red rose
G
For a woman I can call my friend
D
These are better days baby
G
Yeah there's better days shining through
D
These are better days baby
Em G D | D A
Better days with a girl like you
D
Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss
Bm
It's like eatin' caviar and dirt
Em
It's a sad funny ending to find yourself pretending
G
A rich man in a poor man's shirt
D
Now my ass was draggin' when from a passin' gypsy wagon
Bm
Your heart like a diamond shone
Em
Tonight I'm layin' in your arms carvin' lucky charms
G
Out of these hard luck bones
D
These are better days baby
G
These are better days it's true
D
These are better days baby
G A D
There's better days shining through
(Guitar solo) | G | G | Bm | Bm | Em | G | D | D | D
Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure
Bm
Don't make much for tragedy
Em
But it's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin
G
And can't stand the company
D
Every fool's got a reason for feelin' sorry for himself
Bm
And turning his heart to stone
Em
Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell
G
And I feel like I'm comin' home
D
These are better days baby
D G
There's better days shining through
D
These are better days baby
Em G D
Better days with a girl like you
D
These are better days baby
G
These are better days it's true
D
These are better days baby
G A D
There's better days shining through
(repeat chorus to fade out)
