Noah Gundersen - Better Days Chords

[Intro]
C  G/B F  C/E G  Am F x2
 
[Verse 1]
      C                      G/B
I was dancing with some kids
        F
In this house where I lived
         G          Am    F
A couple lifetimes, maybe more
           C               G/B
We had the music up loud
        F
By that old leather couch
      C/E       G                    Am      F
Where I lost my best friend a couple years before
           C                 G/B
And on the front porch steps
           F
I smoked a million cigarettes
           G       Am        F
With every woman I loved and left
            C                   G/B
The loudest house on the block
              F
The neighbors never called the cops
    C/E           G        Am F
But I don't wanna test ’em anymore
 
[Interlude]
C  G/B F  C/E G  Am F
 
[Verse 2]
      C                 G/B
I was down on the beach
F                  C/E
Just out of reach
     G                Am         F
Of a freaked out kid learning to swim
       C                 G/B
He was doing his best
       F
He was holding his breath
C/E    G     Am        F          C/E  F
As the water rose past his chest
 
[Chorus]
            C                          G
Sometimes I feel like I'm caught in a riptide
                  Am        G      F
That's pulling me out to a watery grave
            C                    G
Sometimes I feel like I’ve seen enough
             Am                G      F
It's all too much, I feel like giving up on better days
 
[Interlude]
C  G/B F  C/E G  Am F
 
[Verse 3]
               C                G/B
There was this guy that I knew
            F
We met when I was 22
   C/E G          Am    F
In San Diego when I was on tour
         C
He was a real good dude
G/B  F
Everyone was drawn to
C/E      G     Am          F
Like the ocean to the moon
          C                 G/B
I got the news that he died
        F                 C/E
That he took his own life
           G                  Am      F
And left a beautiful wife and baby boy
      C                G/B
I may never understand
         F
The full measure of a man
    C/E          G               Am          F
But this is what I'd tell him if he was here
 
[Chorus 2]
             C                            G
Sometimes it feels like you're caught in a riptide
                   Am        G      F
That's pulling you out to a watery grave
             C                       G
Sometimes it feels like you’ve seen enough
             Am                  G      F
It's all too much, you feel like giving up
 
[Chorus 3]
             C                            G
Sometimes it feels like I'm stretched too thin
                Am          G               F
How does anyone win in this race that we’re in?
               C                G
Sometimes the going gets pretty rough
                Am             G      F            C    G  Am G F
But I’m hangin' tough, I’m not giving up on better days
               C  G  Am G F
I'm not giving up
 
[Outro]
C  G/B F  C/E G  Am F x2
