I just wanna be better than I am.
[Db]
[C] I [Gm] just wanna be better than I am.
[B] [Gm]
[Db] I [Bbm] just wanna be better than [G] I am.
[Gm]
[Ab] I [Db] just wanna be better than [Gm] I am.
[Bbm]
My time [Fm] fights against comfort.
To be lazy's the easiest, [Bb] but [Dm] I'm tired [G] of thinking too [Gm] much.
I'd send my wish to take a holiday, but [Bbm] a light must keep [Fm] on shining.
So I put my work clothes on and [G] push to try my best once more to be [Bb] better, better than I am.
[Db] [G] [Bbm]
[Bb] I'm everything I am to be better, better than I am.
[Bbm]
[Gm] I gotta keep on pushing to be better than I am.
[Db] Not too near, not too far.
To keep it [Fm] in or take it out, I feel [Bb] stuck by conversations.
I can barely go [G] around, I can feel the sound.
But [Bb] accepting my limits, I don't [Db] feel sad, it's a heavy [Gm] vice.
I don't wish it was easier, I just wish I was better than I [Db] am.
I just [Bbm] wanna be [Fm] [Bbm] better than I am.
[Gm] Supporting, resisting to be better.
[Db] I just wanna be better than I am.
I'm gonna [Gm] move to be better [F] than I am.
Better.
I wanna be solid, I wanna be cool.
I wanna get mad, I wanna get crazy to you.
I don't wanna be too serious, too polite.
Just living and laughing every day and every night.
I'm in love with pieces, open my mind just a little wider when the moment's right.
And the count gets [Eb] right.

[Gm] [Db] [Gm]
[F] [Bb] [Db] No one said it was [Bbm] simple.
[Db] It's a lesson so hard to find, [Gm] that I hold on a little longer.
I don't pay attention to the presence in [G] my life.
Cause I must keep the [Bb] lights on in, so I put my [Bbm] work clothes [Gm] on.
I'm pushed to try my best once more to be better, [Db] better [Ab] than I am.
