Verse 1:
           G
I got me a shovel
                  Em7
And I'm digging a ditch
                 Cadd2                                          G                 A7sus4
And I'm going to fight for this four square feet of land like a mean old son of a b**ch

           G
I got me a future
                     Em7
I'm not stuck on the past
             Cadd2                                        G                        A7sus4
I got no new trick yeah I'm, up on bricks but me, i'm a machine and i was built to last


Chorus:
    C                          Cmaj9/B         G
I'm trying to get better cos I haven't been my best
           C                         Cmaj9/B        G
She took a plain black marker started writing on my chest
           C                            Cmaj9/B                    G                         A7sus4
She drew a line across the middle of my broken heart and said said come on now lets fix this mess
             C       Bm                        G
We could get better,    because we're not dead yet


Verse 2:
                     G
They threw me a whirlwind
                    Em7
And i spat back the seas
              Cadd2                                                G                        A7sus4
I took a battering but i've got thicker skin and the best people i know are looking out for me

                      G
So i'm taking the highroad,
                            Em7
My engines running high and fine
                     Cadd2                                        G                    A7sus4
May I always see the road rising up to meet me and my enemies defeated in the mirror behind


Chorus:
    C                          Cmaj9/B         G
I'm trying to get better cos I haven't been my best
           C                         Cmaj9/B        G
She took a plain black marker started writing on my chest
           C                            Cmaj9/B                    G                         A7sus4
She drew a line across the middle of my broken heart and said said come on now lets fix this mess
             C       Bm                        G
We could get better,    because we're not dead yet


Middle 8:

(play single notes on the A string - use 5th chords as it builds)
     D5              C#5             C5              A5              
|A|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--|

            D5                        C#5
It's just a knot in the small of your back
                  C5                A5
you could work it out, with your fingers
            D5                          C#5
It's just a tune that got stuck in your head
                  C5                A5 
you could work it out, with your fingers
            D5                          C#5
It's just a numbness tangled up in your songs
                  C5                A5
you could work it out, with your fingers
            D5                              C#5
It's just a simple braille missing from the person you miss, 
     C5                          A5                     Cadd2
a reminder you could always be a little bit better than this

Chorus (alternate): 
   C                            Cmaj9/B     G
So try and get better and don't ever accept less
       C                      Cmaj9/B            G
Take a plain black marker and write this on your chest
       C                        Cmaj9/B
Draw a line underneath all this unhappiness
G                          A7sus4
Come on now let's fix this mess

             C      Bm                         G
We could get better     because we're not dead yet
             C      Bm                         G
We could get better     because we're not dead yet
