I Wanna Get Better - The Bleachers

Alignment may be an issue. Also, I'm not sure if I got the right key; so add a capo where needed...

All chords are barre, but I think you could pull it off using regular chords.

[Intro]
D/A , Dsus2 , G , A

[Verse 1]
D/A Dsus2
Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room
G A
Calling my name and I follow just to find you
D/A Dsus2
I trace the faith to a broken down television
G A
And put on the weather
D/A Dsus2
And I've trained myself to give up on the past 'cause
G A
I frozen time between hearses and caskets
D/A Dsus2
Lost control when I panicked at the acid test
G A
I wanna get better

D/A Dsus2 G A
While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines I was losing my mind
D/A Dsus2 G A
Because the love, the love, the love, the love, the love that I gave, wasted on a nice face
D/A Dsus2 G A
In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet, counting seconds through the night
D/A Dsus2 G
and got carried away So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars,
A
"Hey, I wanna get better!"

[Chorus]
D/A Dsus2 G A D/A
I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
Dsus2 G A
I wanna get better, better, better, better
A
I wanna get better
D/A Dsus2 G A D/A
I didn't know I was broken 'til i wanted to change
Dsus2 G A
I wanna get better, better, better, better
A
I wanna get better

[Verse 2]
D/A Dsus2
I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling
G A
Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling
D/A Dsus2
Of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was
G A
Now I'm a stranger
D/A Dsus2
And I miss the days of a life still permanent
G A D/A
Mourn the years before I got carried away!
Dsus2 G
So now I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself,
A
"Hey, I wanna get better!"

[Chorus]
D/A Dsus2 G A D/A
I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
Dsus2 G A
I wanna get better, better, better, better
A
I wanna get better
D/A Dsus2 G A D/A
I didn't know I was broken 'til i wanted to change
Dsus2 G A
I wanna get better, better, better, better
A
I wanna get better

D/A Dsus2
'Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
G Dsus2
I'm screaming from my bedroom window
D/A Dsus2
Even if its gonna kill me

[Instrumental Break]
D/A , Dsus2 , G , A

[Verse 3]
D/A Dsus2
Woke up this morning early before my family
G A
From this dream where she was trying to show me
D/A Dsus2
How a life can move from the darkness
G A
She said to get better
D/A Dsus2
So I put a bullet where I should have put a helmet
G A D/A
And I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away
Dsus2 G
That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself,
A
"Hey, I wanna get better!"

[Chorus]
D/A Dsus2 G A D/A
I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
Dsus2 G A
I wanna get better, better, better, better
A
I wanna get better
D/A Dsus2 G A D/A
I didn't know I was broken 'til i wanted to change
Dsus2 G A
I wanna get better, better, better, better
A
I wanna get better
