VERSE:
G
Is this what you meant?
Am Em
Is this what you dreamed of?
G
When you were making your plans
Am Em
Shaking the dirt off?
G
Do you feel like
Am Em
You and I belong? (Oh woah oh!)
G
Just keep your eyes on the road
Am Em
And nothing can go wrong

CHORUS:
D Em C
You can do so much better than this
D Em C
You can do so much better than this

VERSE:
G
I've been checking my sums
Am Em
Oh where did the time go?
G
Holding my photograph
Am Em
Up to the window
G
Through the paper
Am Em
And refracted sun (Oh woah oh!)
G
I can see all the things
Am Em
I wish that I'd done

CHORUS:
D Em C
You can hang your hopes on the medicine
D Em C
You can put your faith in the phone in
D Em C
You can tell yourself you're doing your best
D Em C
You can do so much better than this

BRIDGE 1:
C
Get a grip on yourself
A
Get a grip on yourself
G Am
Could've been something, but you're too late
C C/B Em
And you weren't invited anyway

CHORUS:
D Em C
Cos the photograph showed the wrong man
D Em C
Cos there is no soap star holding your hand
D Em C
You don't see yourself in the freeze frame
D Em C
Must be someone else using your name

BRIDGE 2:
D Em C
And everyone will be the same
And everyone will gloat
D Em C
And everywhere you'll see your name
In every shop window

You can do so much better than this
