G F#/D
THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY
Em D C
I HEARD GRANDADDY SAY WHEN I WAS YOUNG
Am7 B*
HE WORKED THE FIELDS FOR 40 YEARS
C D7
WITH NOTHING MUCH TO SHOW FOR WHAT HE'D DONE
G F#/D
(HE PUT) HALF HIS LIFE INTO THAT DIRT
Em D C
THAT SLOWLY AGED HIM WAY BEYOND HIS DAYS
Am7 B* C
(THOUGH IT) WAS TOO LATE FOR HIM HE STILL BELIEVED
D G
THERE HAD TO BE A BETTER WAY
(Chorus)
C D G Em
A BETTER WAY TO SPEND THE LIFE THAT YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN
Am7 D G
A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS MYSTERY
C D Em
A PEACE OF MIND TO FIND THE ANSWERS YOU'VE BEEN SEEKING
Am7 B* C * D
IT'S THE STRUGGLE OF THE AGES TO BE FREE
Am7 B* C D G
I'LL BE CONTENT TILL I CAN FINALLY SAY..........I FOUND A BETTER WAY
instrum......G F#/D Em D C D G F#/D Em D C D
I FINALLY FOUND A BETTER WAY
TO LIVE EACH DAY AS IF IT WERE MY LAST
A PATIENT HOPE FOR WHATS TO COME
WHILE HOLDING CLOSE THE MEMORIES OF MY PAST
TO GIVE YOUR HEART THE WINGS IT NEEDS
TO FLY ABOVE JUST LIVING DAY TO DAY
THROUGH YOUR JOURNEY, LET HOPE BE YOUR GUIDE
AND YOU WILL FIND A BETTER WAY....
(Chorus....last 2 lines......
Am7 B* C
I STAYED CONTENT TILL I COULD FINALLY SEE INSIDE
D G
I HAD A BETTER WAY
