Tabbed by: Padster
Tuning: Standard

This is my first attempt at a proper
 TAB...here goes.
Notice that the chords are amazingly
 similar to those in 'Warm Fuzzy 
Feeling'

Suggested voicings:

  A  B  D E5* F F#m
E|-0--2--2--x--1--2-| 
B|-2--4--3--x--1--2-| 
G|-2--4--2--x--2--2-| 
D|-2--4--4--2--3--4-| 
A|-0--2--5--2--3--4-| 
E|-0--2--2--0--1--2-| 

*For E5, it's basically just hitting
 the E string with down strokes, but
 you can add more

[INTRO]
>>in the intro and chorus chords, 
there's a small theme that goes like
 this:
E|--------------------------------
B|---2---2---3-2-0-2-0------------
G|---------------------2----------
D|--------------------------------
A|--------------------------------
E|--------------------------------

>>this might be played on a 
different guitar, but if you're 
playing solo,
>> try to play this with the chords 
in the chorus. Not too hard with the
 A chord, but
in F#m

[VERSE 1]
 A
Once I had it all planned out
    B
My dirty fingers moved about
    D             E             A
To make a mess of everything 
         E5
around me
 A
I don't claim to know my way
         B
I still run in circles every day
Continúa después del anuncio
 D                    E
Running around half blind
 F             E
Life can be unkind

[CHORUS 1]
                         A
But it's better than it was
                    F#m
It's better than it was
        D                 E
I complain very little because
                     A    E5
It's better than it was

[VERSE 2]
 A
I get to remembering
    B
We had alot more money then
    D             E            A 
To make a mess of everything 
         E5
around us
 A
Now the money comes and goes a bit
 B
Faster than my confidence grows
 D          E
Everybody knows
              F                E
There ain't nothing new about money 
woes

[CHORUS 2]
                        A
But it's better than it was
                    F#m
It's better than it was
                    D    E
It's better than it was
                     F#m
It's better than we ever could have
E                A
Wished it to before

[BRIDGE]
F#m            E
It was bad a while ago
F7                   E
Better than this I know

It's better than it was
