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