Better Days Chords

Original recording: transpose +1
 
[Verse 1]
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  G
I'll look back and I'll 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   to the end
 
[Verse 2]
F           C
I notice most things
         Em             Am      G
But I didn’t notice the change
F                          C
It was hot in the morning
        Em
Then it turned so cold
                           F
Towards the end of the day
                    C
There was no conversation
       Em                 Am    G
I just felt like I was in space
F              C
I needed my friends there
          Em
I just turned around
                              C  Em   Am
You were gone without a trace
 
[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 to the end

[Verse 3]
F                   C
Now I have just started
        Em               Am  G
And I wandered on to the end
F                   C
There’s nothing I have lost
     Em                         F
That was once placed upon my my hands
                 C
And all of these hard times
        Em                Am    G
They're fading around the bend
F                C
And now that I’m wiser
      Em                                  C   Em   Am
I cannot wait till I can help my friends
 
[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 to the end
     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 to the end
 
[Outro]
F               C        Em     Am       F
Seen better     Na       Na     Na Na Na Na Na
C        Em     Am       F
Na       Na     Na Na Na Na Na
C        Em     Am       F
Na       Na     Na Na Na Na Na
C        Em     Am       F
Na       Na     Na Na Na Na Na
