Better Days
View chords used in this chart
F C
And I saw it coming
Em Am
I saw emptiness and tragedy
F C
And I felt like running
Em
So far away
F
Then knew I had to stay
C
And I know when I'm older
Em Am
I look back and I still feel the pain
F C Em
I know I'll be stronger and I know I'll be fine
C Em Am
For the rest of my days
(Chorus)
F C Em Am
I've seen better days
F C Em Am
Put my face in my hands
F C Em Am
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
F C Em Am
Hope he sees me through till the end---d
