Eb
Now I can sing you the story line
Ebm
And if you like my story fine
B C#
But ain’t none of the glory mine
Eb
See my life was a lonely one
Ebm
And I was dear momma's only son

With no idea of what I’m gonna become
Eb
And I didn’t have long to know
Ebm
That you don’t have to be grown to go
B C#
I could have died so long before
Eb
Then I finally saw the sign

And I made it on down the line

One step at a time

I feel a lil better

I can smile at it now

I feel a lil better …hah
Cm
Oh better
Eb Bbm
And even a little is still a lil better
C#
Oh have mercy on me
Eb
Ooh it’s probably plain to see
Ebm
That I got a whole lot of pain in me
B C#
And it will always remain in me
Eb
So cold it’s a crying shame
Ebm
Yet here I am trying again
B C#
Cause I refuse to die in vain
Eb
The circumstances put soul in me
Ebm
And there ain’t no holding me
B C#
I’ve got a heart made of gold in me
Eb
Can you believe this is where I’ve been?
Ebm
And when adversity comes again
B C#
I’ll deal with it then
Cm
I feel better
Eb
I can laugh at it now

I feel better …Ha ha

Oh better
Eb
And even a little is still a little better

Oh have mercy on me

I said everything's fine you can take your time

What would be on your mind if you knew you was dyin'

I would wanna just feel this a one more time

I said everything's fine you can take your time

What would be on your mind if you knew you was dyin'

I would wanna just feel this a one more time
Eb
I wanna thank you morning sun
Ebm
I wanna thank you lowly dirt
B C#
Now I know I’m not the only one
Eb
I, I wanna thank you friendly ghost
Ebm
When all the calls were close
B C#
It seems like you care the most

For hurting me so bad
B C#
But you’re the best I ever had
Eb
I, I wanna thank you
