[Intro]

Gm F Gm F Gm F Gm F Bb

[Verse]

F7 Cm

Let's go drivin' on this highway

Gm Bb

Let me wander far and wide

F7 Cm

Got my arm out on the window

Gm Bb

With my baggage on fire by my side

F7 Cm

All I see is this orange color

Gm Bb

I see it glowing a burning blaze

F7 Cm

I can't recall just why I'm here now

Gm Bb

But I still remember better days

[Chorus]

Better days

I know they'll come again

And save me from this end

Help me carry on

Better days

I can't keep going this way

Somethin's gotta help me stay

With this world

Gm F Gm F Gm F Gm F Bb

[Verse]

F7 Cm

I still don't know what I did wrong

Gm Bb

I never asked for this jacket I wear

F7 Cm

Words flicker like a flame in the breeze

Their falling to the ground like leaves

Crashing down (I can't escape)

F7 Cm

And these miles don't seem to make things fine

Gm Bb

Like I'd hoped This distance would

F7 Cm

And I drive like I got no place to be

But only you can set me free

If you only would

[Chorus]

Better days

I ain't got a dime to call you

But you wouldn't answer

So what's the point

Better days

I can taste them on my tongue

But it's fading like the setting sun

It'll soon be gone

[Outro]
