Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I[G]
[D]know you miss salt water
and aeroplane windows
[G]Know you miss the way the world
once kept you on your toes
You [D]had your wheels in motion
more often than not
It [G]is odd sitting with the thought
That you [D]spent most of summer,
your nose to the grindstone
[G]Bringing childhood dreams
to life entirely on your own
Can picture it [D]so clearly,
that Sydney skyline turns [G]to gold in afternoon light
You see it in hindsight

[Verse 2]
Now you [Em]wake up to the same day
Where you [D]realise so little has [G]changed
And that’s a feeling hard to stomach
Still you [Em]get up, turn a new page
Let your [D]insights seep
into this [G]space
There is something to gain [A]from this
I [D]promise [A]if you

[Verse 3]
[D]Wake with the sun, think of all that’s to come you’ll feel [G]better,
better, better
[D]Dare to depend on your hope,
call a friend
It’ll get [G]better, better, better

[Verse 4]
I [D]know you miss your grandfather
And travelling out to south east suburb[G]s
If you saw a stranger smiling,
would it lift your mood?
You wonder when you’ll next [D]be seated in a restaurant
with someone [G]making up for all the lost time

[Verse 5]
You see in your [Em]mind: Meghan and
Leah by the campfire
With [D]an oversized wine glass
in casual at[G]tire
Singing aloud along to Stevie
When you [Em]laugh hard, it’s an exhale
You will [D]heal fast, shit talk ’til you’re telling
[G]tales and then talking about Phoe[A]be
Believe [D]me when [A]you

[Verse 6]
[D]wake with the sun,
think of all that’s to come, you feel [G]better, better, better
[D]Dare to depend on your hope,
call a friend
It’ll get [G]better, better, better
[D]Go to the creek to feel whole
It sure is bleak now,
but you [G]bet it’ll get better
Better, better, better than it [Bm]has
been the [A]whole year [G]long
[Em]But life’s greatest [D]barricades are b[G]ones
for new [A]songs

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][A]
[D][G][A]
[D][G]
[D]Return

[Verse 7]
to yourself,
thankful for [G]your good [D]health
Don’t you feel [G]better, better, better?
Better, better, better [A]when you [D]wake with the sun,
think of all that’s to come to feel [G]better, better, better
Better, better, better
[D]Dare to depend on your hope,
call your friends
Make them feel [G]better, better, better
Better, better, better
[D]Go to the creek to feel whole
And though it’s bleak right,
you can [G]bet it’ll get better
Better, better, better than it [Bm]has
been the [A]whole [D]year [G]long
[Em]But life’s greatest [D]barricades
were [G]bones for these song[A]s

[Outro 1]
