BETTER DAYS

Intro – Cadd9 G / Dsus4 Em7 / x3
Cadd9 G / Dsus4 G5

Verse G / Dsus4 / Em7 / Cadd9 Dsus4 //


I’ve lived here for so long,
And I still don’t know where I’m from,
I still don’t know where I’m going to,
Can you help me find out?

It’s the same old sights,
The same old sounds, same old stuff is going down,
Same guy on the corner,
Singing the same old songs!

I need to break away from here,
See the world for just one year,
Check out the sights and sounds,
Of somewhere else.


Chorus

Cadd9 G / Dsus4 Em7 / Cadd9 G / Dsus4 Em7

Grab your coat,
Let’s go away,
Don’t look back,
No don’t you wave,
Grab your boots,
Lets fly away,
We’re heading on to better days… Cadd9 G5 / Dsus4 G5

Interlude
Cadd9 / Dsus4 (STOP) count back in…

Verse

I’ve got so much more to do,
Hope you’ll do it with me too,
You know there’s no one else who,
I want to run with!

Now there’s not much left to say,
Let’s just run and get away,
Let’s find our little place right out,
In the big wide world.

It’s coming soon it won’t be long,
Till they find out that we’re gone,
But hey it doesn’t matter,
Just as long as you’re with me now…

Chorus

Grab your coat,
Let’s go away,
Don’t look back,
No don’t you wave,
Grab your boots,
Lets fly away,
We’re heading on to better days…
Grab your shoes,
Let’s get away,
Don’t look back,
Another day,
Grab your wings,
Let’s fly away,
We’re heading off to better days…

Cadd9 / Dsus4 (no stop)

Bridge

Now I know things are gonna be hard,
And I know things are gonna be tough,
Sometimes the best laid plans don’t,
Come together how you want to,
But as long as you’re right here by me….

Chorus

Grab your coat,
Let’s go away,
Don’t look back,
No don’t you wave,
Grab your boots,
Lets fly away,
We’re heading on to better days…
Grab your shoes,
Let’s get away,
Don’t look back,
Another day,
Grab your wings,
Let’s fly away,
We’re heading off to better days…
Heading on to better days,
Heading off to better days,
I hope we find our better days.
