I don't stop breathing,

Everytime the phone rings
(G) (A) (D) (G)(A)
My heart don't race when someone's at my door

I've almost given up,

Thinkin' you're ever gonna call

I don't believe in magic, anymore

Asking God to get you off my mind

It's gettin' better all the time
(Asus) (A) (D) (G)(A)
It's gettin' better all the time
Yeah, I got to work on time again this morning
This old job is all that I've got left
And no one even noticed I'd been cryin'
At least I don't have whiskey on my breath
Yeah, I think I'm gonna make it
Cause God won't make a mountain I can't climb

If I ever saw you out with someone else

I couldn't say a word
(G) (A) (D) (G)(A)
I stood there in the dark all by myself

Yeah, I could've said a million things

But, all I did was keep it locked inside
(Hold A) (Bm)(A)(G)
It's gettin' better all the time

It's gettin' better all the time
(Hold A) (Bm)(A)(G)(Em) (D)
