[Intro]
E E C#m A
then
E E E/G# E A A E/G#
[Verse 1]
E
Far away as far as the eye can see
E/G# E A
Is a place that I don't understand
A place we know as Sonderland
E/G# E E
I call it home call it hell
I'm sure if it could it would
E/G# E A
call me names as well
Like a walking detriment
On the world's worst carousel
[Refrain 1]
E
These strange times that we
C#m
live in Will slowly eat you
A Am
alive if you don't fit in
[Chorus 1]
E A
Welcome to my dark despair
C#m A
Everyone here is a nightmare
E A
As they all keep talking in
C#m
their sleep I am wondering
A
If it surely gets
Am E
better than this
[Verse 2]
E
Why do good things come to
E/G# E
all those terrible peo--ple?
A
And would God be the next big
thing If you heard her on the
E/G# E E
radio? Where did all the good
ones go? They finish last or
E/G# E A
they die young Then it's
onto the next post
The story of a generation
[Refrain 2]
C#m B
So dead set on novelty
A
But some honesty now and
Am
then would be quite nice
[Chorus 2]
E A
Welcome to my dark despair
C#m A
Everyone here is a nightmare
E A
As they all keep talking in
C#m
their sleep I am wondering
A
If it surely gets
Am
better than this
[Bridge]
B C#m
No I don't want wanna sit
A
and talk about politics
A
Or social sciences in
B
contradiction Not when
C#m
I'm staring down the
A
edge of the precipice
E/G#
With grim ambition
[Instrumental]
E E C#m Am
[Refrain 3]
E
These strange times
E
that we live in
C#m
Will slowly eat you
A Am
alive if you don't fit in
[Chorus 3]
E A
Welcome to my dark despair
C#m A
Everyone here is a nightmare
E A
As they all keep talking in
C#m
their sleep I am wondering
A
If it surely gets
Am
better than this
[Outro]
E E/G# A
Surely gets better than this
E E/G# A
It surely gets better than this
E E/G# A E
It surely gets better than this
