Better Days
Bruce Springsteen
E
Well my soul checked out missin' as I sat listenin'
E
To the hours and minutes tickin' a
C#m
way.
Yeah, just
F#m
sittin around waitin' for my life to begin
F#m
While it was all just slippin' a
A
way
Well I'm
E
tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come
E
For the train to come rollin' 'round the
C#m
bend
I got a
F#m
new suit of clothes and a pretty red rose
F#m
A women I can call my
A
friend
CHORUS 1:
A
These are Better
E
Days, baby
E
Yeah, there's Better Days shinin'
A
through
A
These are Better
E
Days, baby
Better
F#m
Days with a
A
girl like
E
you
E
Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss
E
It's like eatin' cavier in the
C#m
dirt
It's a
F#m
sad funny ending when you find yourself pretending
F#m
To be a rich man in a poor man's
A
shirt
Now my
E
ass was draggin from a passin' gypsy wagon
E
Your heart like a diamond
C#m
shown
Tryin'
F#m
to lay it in your arms, count the lucky charms
Get out of these hard luck bones
CHORUS 2:
A
These are Better
E
Days, baby
E
Yeah, there's Better Days shinin'
A
through
A
These are Better
E
Days, baby
Better
A
Days are
B
shining
E
through
<Instrumental bridge>: A C#m F#m A E
E
Now a life of leisure, and a pirate's treasure
E
Don't make much for trage
C#m
dy.
It's a
F#m
sad man, my friend, whose livin' in his own skin,
F#m
And can't stand the compa
A
ny.
Every
E
fools got a reason to feel sorry for himself
E
And turning his heart to
C#m
stone
Drag this
F#m
fool half way to heaven, just a mile on to hell
F#m
And I feel like I'm comin'
A
home!
