Things Can Only Get Better

Tom: G

D  C  Em  D

Am C D    G G# 
Am C D        F G Am   F G

Am                   C
We're not scared to lose it all 
D                 F         G
Security throw through the wall 
Am        C              F      G
Future dreams we have to realize 


Am                                      
A thousand skeptic hands 
        C                 D
Won't keep us from the things we plan 
Am               C             D
Unless we're clinging to the things we prize 


D       C                  Em     
And do you feel scared - I do 
        D
But I won't stop and falter 
D           C           Em
And if we threw it all away 
             D
Things can only get better 

Am      C    D    F    G
Whoa, whoa whoa whoa oh oh     x4


Am                         C  
Treating today as though it was 
     D         F      G
The last, the final show 
Am                     C   D
Get to sixty and feel no regret 
Am                     C
It may take a little time 
    D               F       G
A lonely path, an uphill climb 
Am                           C    D
Success or failure will not alter it 


D       C                  Em     
And do you feel scared - I do 
        D
But I won't stop and falter 
D           C            Em
And if we threw it all away 
             D
Things can only get better 


Am      C    D    F    G
Whoa, whoa whoa whoa oh oh     x4


D       C                  Em    
And do you feel scared - I do 
       D
But I won't stop and falter 
D           C            Em
And if we threw it all away 
             D
Things can only get better 

Am      C    D    F    G
Whoa, whoa whoa whoa oh oh     x4
