[Verse 1]
A Bsus4 B
         Hey,
 E                        Eadd9             E6
I hear the voice of a preacher from the back  room
A                        Bsus4            B
 Calling my name and I follow just to find you
E                          Eadd9       E6
 I trace the faith to a broken  down television,
A                      Bsus4
 and put on the weather
B        E                        Eadd9           E6
And I've trained myself to give up     on the past  'cause
 A                          Bsus4      B   E
I froze in time between hearses and caskets Lost control
         Eadd9         E6
when I panicked at the acid test
A              Bsus4
 I wanna get better 

[Verse 2]
B        E                             Eadd9        E6
While my friends were getting high and chasing girls  down
A
parkway lines
        Bsus4        B           E
I was losing my mind because the love, the love, the love,
    Eadd9         E6
the love, the love
       A           Bsus4       B
That I gave wasted on   a nice face
E                   Eadd9         E6       A
 In a blaze of fear I    put a helmet on a helmet
                                   Bsus4            B   E
Counting seconds through the night and  got carried away So
            Eadd9        E6
now I'm standing on the o

[Pre-Chorus]
        A                          Bsus4
verpass screaming at the cars "Hey,
     B
I wanna get better!"

[Chorus]
E            Eadd9     E6    A            Bsus4    B    E
I didn't know     I was  lonely 'til I saw     your face I
            Eadd9 E6
wanna get better,
A                 Bsus4
better, better, better 
     B
I wanna get better
E            Eadd9     E6   A                Bsus4  B      E
I didn't know     I was  broken 'til I wanted     to change
              Eadd9 E6 A
I wanna get better,    better, better,
  Bsus4 B
better I

[Verse 3]
      E                              Eadd9           E6
go up to my room and there's girls on     the ceiling
   A                                   Bsus4
Cut out their pictures and I chase that     feeling
B         E                        Eadd9             E6
Of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was
A                 Bsus4   B
Now I'm a stranger     And
  E                            Eadd9     E6
I miss the days of a life still     permanent
     A                   Bsus4        B
Mourn the years before I got  carried away

[Pre-Chorus]
E
                   Eadd9         E6         A
So now I'm staring at   the interstate screaming at myself
       Bsus4
"Hey, I
      B
wanna get better!"

[Chorus]
  E            Eadd9        E6 A                Bsus4    B
I didn't know I     was lone__ly 'til I saw your     face
E                  Eadd9 E6 A
I wanna get better,      better, better,
better
Bsus4      B
I    wanna get better
  E            Eadd9       E6 A
I didn't know I     was bro__ken 'til I wanted
  Bsus4      B E                   Eadd9 E6   A
to     change  I wanna get better, be___tter, better,

  Bsus4     B
I wanna get better

'Cause I'm sleeping in the   back of a      taxi

I'm screaming from my    bedroom window

E                          Eadd9           E6
 this morning early before my   family From
    A                       Bsus4              B
this dream where she was trying  to show me How
 E                      Eadd9            E6
a life can move from the     darkness She

said to get better So I    
     E                           Eadd9
put a bullet where I shoulda put a    helmet
    E6        A                       Bsus4    B
And I crash my car 'cause I wanna get carried away

[Pre-Chorus]
E
                           Eadd9         E6        A
That's why I'm standing on the  overpass screaming at

myself "Hey, I wan
