Am-G
Am
It's gonna get worse before it gets better
I wrote it down in a love letter
G
Sang it for you
Am
I know that love is the only redeemer
Everything else is just a make believer
G
Everything else
Am
How can you say you?ll change when you're gripping the knife
When you're dressed in forms of a previous life
G
Won?t you lay down your sword
Your shield and your pride
Am
Just ride in the river, crashin? on rock
Comin? up for air or just floating along
G
We're all shaped like driftwood
C D
All you got to do is find some truth and see it through
Am-G-Am-G
Am
Even the words that I learned from my father
Are shining a light in the face of the darkness
G
Shining a light
Am
I know what I need and I already have it
You think it's the money I've already spent it
G
You think it's for glory I?ll only regret it
The story you sold I already forget it
Am
I'm paying the rent, my head?s above water
What drove the wheel is the weight we are under
G
Tell me how and why we're not bothered
How and why
Am
Now some go kicking, some willing lay down
Most already live with both feet in the ground
G
Some won?t let go. Some won?t leave home
Some find it easier if they just don't know
C D
And all we got to do is keep kicking the door until the light shines through
Am-G-Am-G
Am
It's gonna get worse but its gonna get better
say it out loud and you'll always remember
G
It's gonna get worse, its gonna get better
Am
It's gonna get worse but its gonna get better
It's gonna get worse but its gonna get better
G
It's gonna get worse, its gonna get better
I get worse, I get better
Am-G-Am-G-Am-G-Am-G
