[Verse 1]
C                  F
Bring the sun, the tattoo gun
   C                   F
My body is a canvas, I want to mark my skin
C                F
It is paper thin
                            C     F
Scribble fragile on my temple

[Verse 2]
C                            F
I'll be your house when your roof starts leaking
   C               F
Or when you're sat in my kitchen
C                    F
Crying your eyes out
                    C                      F
I'll make you a hot chocolate to warm your hands up

[Chorus]
C                 F
It gets better in such small doses
C                           F
Curb every neurosis, you'll barely notice
          C                        F
There's a drug we can give you for that, my friend
    C                           F
But first, stay for tea, it did wonders for me (Everybody now)

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
C                    F
Dye your hair in the bathtub
        C                    F
Let the bleach drip over the side
  C                        F
I thought you were ride or die but I left at 2am
   C                      F
To catch the first flight away from you (Don't touch me)
C                                 F
We'll bring new years in from the emergency room
      C                               F
And I promised your mother we'd take care of you
       C                          F
And we won't say a word, we won't know what to do
      C                              F
But we brought you some biscuits and lemonade too

[Chorus]
C                 F
It gets better in such small doses
C                           F
Curb every neurosis, you'll barely notice
          C                        F
There's a drug we can give you for that, my friend
    C                           F
But first, stay for tea, it did wonders for me

[Bridge]
C*                             F*
Aizaz gave it up to be a poet (We're all just one and the same)
C*                        F*
Mikey got his uni degree (Just mistakes with different names)
C*                                  F*
Linden's gonna write the next great novel
    C*                   F*
And I'm here slipshod in front of the tv

[Chorus]
N.C.
It gets better in such small doses
N.C.
Curb every neurosis, you'll barely notice
N.C.
There's a drug we can give you for that, my friend
N.C.                                           F
But first, stay for tea, it did wonders for me

[Chorus]
C                 F
It gets better in such small doses
C                           F
Curb every neurosis, you'll barely notice
          C                        F
There's a drug we can give you for that, my friend
    C                           F
But first, stay for tea, it did wonders for me (one more time)

[Chorus]
C               F
It gets better (It gets better)
C               F
It gets better (It gets better)
          C                        F
There's a drug we can give you for that, my friend
    C                           F
But first, stay for tea, it did wonders for me
