Better Days Chords by Bruce Springsteen

[Start]

[Verse]
D                                                    
■ Well my soul checked out missing as I sat listening
                                 Bm  
To the hours and minutes tickin' away
          Em                                         
Yeah just sittin' around waitin' for my life to begin
                               G   
While it was all just slippin' away
        D                                    
And I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come
                                        Bm  
Or that train to come roarin' round the bend
        Em                                       
I got a new suit of clothes and a pretty red rose
                          G     
And a woman I can call my friend


[Chorus]
                 D        
These are better days baby
                                 G      
Yeah there's better days shining through
                 D        
These are better days baby
       Em          G         D  
Better days with a girl like you


[Verse]
D                                         
Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss
                            Bm  
It's like eatin' caviar and dirt
       Em                                          
It's a sad funny ending to find yourself pretending
                           G    
A rich man in a poor man's shirt
       D                                               
Now my ass was draggin' when from a passin' gypsy wagon
                          Bm   
Your heart like a diamond shone
            Em                                      
Tonight I'm layin' in your arms carvin' lucky charms
                       G    
Out of these hard luck bones


[Chorus]
                 D        
These are better days baby
                         G   
These are better days it true
          D               
These are better days baby
        G           A       D      
There's better days shining through

[Verse]
    D                                      
Now a life of leisure and pirate's treasure
                    Bm7    
Don't make much for tragedy
           Em                                            
But it's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin
                    G      
And can't stand the company
      D                                                
Every fool's got a reason for feelin' sorry for himself
                         Bm   
And turning his heart to stone
             Em                Em7                              
Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell
                           G   
And I feel like I'm comin' home


[Chorus]
          D               
These are better days baby
                            G      
There's better days shining through
          D               
These are better days baby
G                            D  
Better days with a girl like you
A                D        
These are better days baby
                           G   
These are better days it's true
      D                   
These are better days baby
       G        A       D      
Better days are shining through
A                D        
These are better days baby
                     G   
Are better days it's true
          D               
These are better days baby
       G        A       D      
Better days are shining through
                 D        
These are better days baby
G          D             
Are better days it's true
G     A          D        
These are better days baby
