Jon & Roy - The Better Life
Capo on 1st

Intro
G  G/F#  Em  D x2


Chorus:
G           G/F#     Em
I'm heading for the other side
           D               G
Where the light is always right
G                    G/F#      Em
Where we don't have all these heavy plights
          D          G
And the loving overrides
                       G/F#       Em
And tho' I'm told this time will never come
  D           G
I want it anyhow
           G/F#        Em
I'm going towards the better life
          D           G    G/F#
And I'm ready for it now


Verse 1:
Em            D          G    G/F#
Pent up like water in a dam
Em           D           G    G/F#
Angry like heavy metal songs
Em              D                  G  G/F#
Messed up like all this news of guns
Em                D
That like to get drawn


Chorus:
G           G/F#     Em
I'm heading for the other side
           D               G
Where the light is always right
G                    G/F#      Em
Where we don't have all these heavy plights
          D          G
And the loving overrides
                       G/F#       Em
And tho' I'm told this time will never come
  D           G
I want it anyhow
           G/F#        Em
I'm going towards the better life
          D           G    G/F#
And I'm ready for it now

Verse 2:

Em          D                G   G/F#
Seeing the problems here at hand
Em              D                G     G/F#
Caught up with useless news and posts
Em            D              G     G/F#
Helpless and feeling like a ghost
Em            D
Wearing nice clothes

Bridge
Am         D
In these modern times
G                    Am
where we're disconnected from
           D
Ourselves and this land
G                       Am
And we're always on the run
        D              G              Am
Can we turn about and notice what we are?
                      C/G   Am C/G  G
Living beings in the stars


Chorus
G           G/F#     Em
I'm heading for the other side
           D               G
Where the light is always right
G                    G/F#      Em
Where we don't have all these heavy plights
          D          G
And the loving overrides
                       G/F#       Em
And tho' I'm told this time will never come
  D           G
I want it anyhow
           G/F#        Em
I'm going towards the better life
          D           G    G/F#
And I'm ready for it now

Outro
G  G/F#  Em D
