- Verse 1 -
G
I got me a shovel
Em
And I'm digging a ditch
C G Em D
And I'm going to fight for this four square feet of land like a mean old son of a bitch
G
I got me a future
Em
I'm not stuck on the past
C G Em D
I got no new tricks yeah I'm up on bricks but me I'm a machine and I was built to last
- Chorus -
C D G
I'm trying to get better because I haven't been my best
C D Em
She took a plain black marker started writing on my chest
C D
She drew a line across the middle of my broken heart
G Em
And said Come on now let's fix this mess
C D
We could get better
G
Because we're not dead yet
(same chord pattern)
- Verse 2 -
They threw me a whirlwind
And I spat back the sea
I took a battering but I've got thicker skin and the best people I know looking out for me
So I'm taking the high road
My engines running high and fine
May I always see the road rising up to meet me and my enemies defeated in the mirror behind
- Chorus -
I'm trying to get better because I haven't been my best
She took a plain black marker started writing on my chest
She drew a line across the middle of my broken heart
And said Come on now let's fix this mess
We could get better
Because we're not dead yet
- Bridge -
G Em
It's just a knock in the small of your back
G Em
You can work it out with your fingers
G Em
It's just a tune that got stuck in your head
G Em
You can work it out with your fingers
G Em
It's just some numbers tangled up in your sums
G Em
You could work it out with your fingers
G Em G
It's just a simple braille missing from the person you miss a reminder you could always be
C D
A little bit better than this
- Chorus -
So try and get better and don't ever accept less
Take a plain black marker and write this on your chest
Draw a line underneath all of this unhappiness
Come on now let's fix this mess
We could get better
Because we're not dead yet
We could get better
Because we're not dead yet
