Bruce Springsteen - Better Days: chords

         D
Well my soul checked out missin' as I sat listenin'
                                   Bm
To the hours and minutes tickin' away.
              Em
Yeah, just sittin around waitin'
for my life to begin
             E                   G
While it was all just slippin' away
          D
Well I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come
                                         Bm
For the train to come rollin' 'round the bend
         Em
I got a new suit of clothes and a pretty red rose
                        G
A women I can call my friend

Chorus:
G                 D
These are Better Days, baby
                                      G
Yeah, there's Better Days shinin' through
G                 D
These are Better Days, baby
       Em           G         D
Better Days with a girl like you

Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss
It's like eatin' caviar and dirt
It's sad funny ending to find yourself pretending
A rich man in a poor man's shirt
Now my ass was draggin' when from
a passin' gypsy wagon
Your heart like a diamond shone
Tonight I'm layin' in your arms carvin' lucky charms
Out of these hard-luck bones

Chorus:
These are better days, baby
These are better days, it's true
These are better days, baby
There's better days shining through

Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure
Don't make much for tragedy
But it's a sad man, my friend,
who's livin' in his own skin
And can't stand the company
Every fool's got a reason for feelin'
sorry for himself
And turning his heart to stone
Tonight this fool's halfway
to heaven and just a mile outta hell
And I feel like I'm comin' home

Chorus:
These are better days, baby
There's better days shining through
These are better days, baby
Better days with a girl like you

These are better days, baby
These are better days, it's true
These are better days, baby
Better days are shining through

These are better days, baby
These are better days, it's true
These are better days, baby
Better days are shining through

These are better days, baby
These are better days, baby
Better days are shining through
These are better days
These are better days
Better days are shining through
