               G5
I've got me a shovel
               Em7
I'm digging a ditch
               Gsus4                                          G5                D/F#
And I'm gonna fight for this four square feet of land like a mean old son-of-a-bitch
               G5
I've got me a future
                      Em7
I'm not stuck on the past
                 Gsus4                                            G5                       D/F#
I've got no new tricks, yeah, I'm up on bricks, but, me, I'm a machine and I was built to last

     C                             D/F#        G5
I'm trying to get better 'cause I haven't been my best
           C                               D/F#      Em
She took a plain black marker and started writing on my chest
            C                            D/F#                   G5                   G/F# Em
She drew a line across the middle of my broken heart and said "come on now let's fix this mess"
            C      D/F#
We can get better
                       G5 (RIFF 1)
Because we're not dead yet

                 G5
They threw me a whirlwind
                    Em
And I spat back the sea
              C                                                     G5                      D/F#
I took a battering but I've got thicker skin and the best people I know are looking out for me
                    G5
So, I'm taking the high road
                              Em
My engine's running high and fine
                      C                                     G5                    D/F#
May I always see the road rising up to me and my enemies defeated in the mirror behind

     C                             D/F#        G5
I'm trying to get better 'cause I haven't been my best
           C                               D/F#      Em
She took a plain black marker and started writing on my chest
            C                            D/F#                   G5                   G/F# Em
She drew a line across the middle of my broken heart and said "come on now let's fix this mess"
            C      D/F#
We can get better
                       G5*
Because we're not dead yet

            G/D                            G/C#
It's just a knot in the small of your back
                   G/C         G/A
You can work it out with your fingers
            G/D                            G/C#
It's just a tune that gets stuck in your head
                   G/C         G/A
You can work it out with your fingers
                G/D                        G/C#
It's just some numbers tangled up in your songs
                   G/C         G/A
You can work it out with your fingers
             G/D                            G/C#
It's just a simple Braille missive from the person you miss
     G/C                          Am                      D/F#
A reminder you could always be a little bit better than this

    C                            D/F#   G5
So, try and get better and don't ever accept less
           C                      D/F#          Em
Take your plain black marker and write this on your chest
        C                            D/F#
Draw a line underneath all of this unhappiness
 G5                  G/F#  Em
Come on now let's fix this mess
            C      D/F#
We can get better
                       G5  G/F# Em (RIFF 2 & 3)
Because we're not dead yet
            C      D/F# (RIFF 4 & 5)
We can get better
                       G5 (RIFF 1)
