A Little Better

The Odd Couple

Tab by Sam Kurcab

Ok I got this from someone in the forums, so I included a couple changes I thought sounded best.

Now I can sing you the story line

Ebm

And if you like my story fine

B C#

But ain’t none of the glory mine

See my life was a lonely one

Ebm

And I was dear momma's only son

B C#

With no idea of what I’m gonna become

And I didn’t have long to know

Ebm

That you don’t have to be grown to go

B C#

I could have died so long before

Then I finally saw the sign

Ebm

And I made it on down the line

B C#

One step at a time

I feel a lil better

I can smile at it now

Bbm

I feel a lil better …hah

Oh better

Eb Bbm

And even a little is still a lil better

Oh have mercy on me

Ooh it’s probably plain to see

Ebm

That I got a whole lot of pain in me

B C#

And it will always remain in me

So cold it’s a crying shame

Ebm

Yet here I am trying again

B C#

Cause I refuse to die in vain

The circumstances put soul in me

Ebm

And there ain’t no holding me

B C#

I’ve got a heart made of gold in me

Can you believe this is where I’ve been?

Ebm

And when adversity comes again

B C#

I’ll deal with it then

I feel better

I can laugh at it now

Bbm

I feel better …Ha ha

Oh better

And even a little is still a little better

Oh have mercy on me

I said everything's fine you can take your time

Ebm

What would be on your mind if you knew you was dyin'

B C#

I would wanna just feel this a one more time

I said everything's fine you can take your time

Ebm

What would be on your mind if you knew you was dyin'

B C#

I would wanna just feel this a one more time

I wanna thank you morning sun

Ebm

I wanna thank you lowly dirt

B C#

Now I know I’m not the only one

I, I wanna thank you friendly ghost

Ebm

When all the calls were close

B C#

It seems like you care the most

I, I wanna thank you mom and dad

Ebm

For hurting me so bad

B C#

But you’re the best I ever had

I, I wanna thank you
