[N] [C] I got me [G] a shuttle, and I'm digging a ditch, and I'm gonna [C] fight for this four square feet of land [G] like a mean old son of a bitch.
[D] I got me [G] a future, I'm not stuck on the past, I've got no new tricks, yeah, I'm a pump brake for [C] me, I'm [G] a machine and I was built [D] to last.
[C] I'm trying to get better, [D] cause I haven't [G] been my best, she [C] took a plain black book and [D] started writing [Em] on my chest, she drew [C] a line across the middle of [D] my broken heart and [G] said, come on now, let's face this, [Em] we could get [C] better,
[D] because we're [G] not dead yet.
She breaks through me, a whirlwind, and I splat back [Em] the sea, I took a [C] battering, but I've got thicker skin, and the best people I [G] know are looking out for [D] me, so I'm taking the [G] high road, my engine's running high and [Em] fine.
May I always see [C] the road rising up to meet me and my [G] enemies, defeated in a mirror [D] behind.
[C] I'm trying to get better, cause [D] I haven't been [G] my best, she took a [C] plain black book and started [D] writing on [Em] my chest, she drew [C] a line across the middle of [D] my broken heart and [G] said, come on now, let's face [Em] this, we could get [C] better, [D] because we're not [G] dead yet.
It's just a knot in the small of your [C#] back, you could work it [C] out with your [A] fingers, it's just [G] a tune that got stuck in your [C#] head, you could work it [C] out with your [A] fingers, it's just [G] some numbers tangled up in your sums, [C#] you could work [C] it out with your fingers.
[G] It's just a simple brown, they said from the person you miss, I remember you [C] could always be a [A] little bit,
[D]
[C] so try and get better and don't ever [G] accept less, take a [C] plain black marker [D] and write this [Em] on your chest, [C] so I'd light up my [G] office of happiness, come on now, let's face [Em] this, we could [C] get better,
[G] because we're not dead yet.
[Em] We could [C] get better,
[G] because we're not dead yet.
