better days chords
bruce springsteen *

E

E
well my soul checked out missing as i sat listening
C#m
to the hours and minutes ticking away
F#m
yeah just sitting around waiting for my life to begin
A
while it was all just slipping away
E
im tired of waiting for tomorrow to come
C#m
or that train to come roaring round the bend
F#m
i got a new suit of clothes a pretty red rose
A
and a woman i can call my friend

E
these are better days baby
A
yeah theres better days shining through
E
these are better days baby
F#m A E
better days with a girl like you

E
well i took a piss at fortunes sweet kiss
C#m
its like eating caviar and dirt
F#m
its sad funny ending to find yourself pretending
A
a rich man in a poor mans shirt
E
now my ass was dragging when from a passing gypsy wagon
C#m
your heart like a diamond shone
F#m
tonight im laying in your arms carving lucky charms
A
out of these hard luck bones

E
these are better days baby
A
these are better days its true
E
these are better days
F#m A E
theres better days shining through
E
now a life of leisure and a pirates treasure
C#m
dont make much for tragedy
F#m
but its a sad man my friend whos living in his own skin
A
and cant stand the company
E
every fools got a reason for feeling sorry for himself
C#m
and turning his heart to stone
F#m
tonight this fools halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell
A
and i feel like im coming home

E
these are better days baby
A
these are better days its true
E
these are better days
F#m A E
theres better days shining through

E
these are better days baby
A
yeah theres better days shining through
E
these are better days baby
F#m A E
better days with a girl like you 2
