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  2x
