Better Days

Eddie Vedder

G        D                G        D
I feel part of the universe opened up to meet me.
G     D             G            D
My emotion so submerged  broken down to kneeling
C            C7+
once listening
Am             D
voices they came
G          D           G
Had to somehow read myself
         D
read myself
G          D               G
heard vibration within my cells
       D
in my cells
         F                D
Singing ah ah ah ah ah ah
G           D              G
My love is safe for the universe
        D                  G
See me now I'm bursting
         D              G
On one planet so many turns
            D
different worlds
         F              D
singing ah ah ah ah ah ah

(solo) C F C F C F C F G

          D               G
From my heart with discipline
           D
Put there for the teaching
G       D                  G
In my head see clouds of stairs
         D
Help me as I'm reaching
C              C7+  Am              D
The future's paved with better days

(G C G F C C G G)

G             C
I'm running from something
G             F          C
I'm running towards the day
       G
wide awake
            C
A whisper once quiet
G           F      C
Now rising to a scream
     G
I am me.
             C
I'm falling free fallin
G             F       C
World's calling me
              G
Above my needs

Oh I'm soaring
C                  G             F               C
Yeah and darlin'  you'll be the one that I can need
            G
Still  be free
              C          G     F    C
Our futures paved with better days

        D 
And you ask me what I want this year 
          G 
And I try to make this kind and clear 
           A                                D 
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days 
          D 
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings 
             G 
And desire and love and empty things 
           A                                 D 
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days 
 
     G 
So take these words 
        A 
And sing out loud 
        G                  A 
Cuz everyone is forgiven now 
        Bm                   G             D 
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again 
 
              D 
And it's someplace simple where we could live 
        G 
And something only you can give 
  A                                              D 
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive 
             D 
And the one poor child that saved this world 
        G 
And there's 10 million more who probably could 
      A                                      D 
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them 
 
     G 
So take these words 
        A 
And sing out loud 
        G                   A 
Cuz everyone is forgiven now 
        Bm                   G            D 
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again 
  
(Base:  D G A D ) 
 
           D 
I wish everyone was loved tonight 
       G 
And somehow stop this fight 
         A                                  D 
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days 
 
     G 
So take these words 
        A 
And sing out loud 
         G               A 
Cuz everyone is forgiven now 
       Bm                   A             D     
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again 
       Bm                   A             D     
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

Versión 4 - Better Days (Letra y acordes)
F               C
And I saw it coming
        Em            Am
I saw emptiness and tragedy
F                        C
And I felt like running
            Em
So far away
                       F
Then knew I had to stay
                C
And I know I'm older
        Em                              Am
I look back and I still feel the pain
F               C            Em
I know I'll be stronger and I know I'll be fine
                C       Em      Am
For the rest of my days

(chorus)
         F              C       Em      Am
I've seen better days
        F          C    Em      Am
Put my face in my hands
        F                   C                 Em      Am
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
        F       C                    Em      Am
Hope he sees me through to the end

F                C
I notice most things
           Em            Am
But I didn't notice the change
F               C
It was hot in the morning
        Em
Then it turned so cold
                           F
Towards the end of the day
                 C
There was no conversation
          Em            Am
I just felt like I was in space
F              C
I needed my friends there
          Em
I just turned around
                              C Em      Am
You were gone without a trace

 Chorus x 1

(Single strum this first section)
F               C
Now I have just started
      Em              Am
And I wandered on to the end
F               C
There's nothing I have lost
        Em                      (strum)
That was once placed upon my hands
F               C
And all of these hard times
             Em           Am
There fading around the bend
F               C
And now that I'm wiser
        Em                      C               Em      Am
I cannot wait till I can help my friends

(chorus 2x)
F               C             Em        Am        F
Seen better     Na       Na     Na Na Na Na Na
C             Em        Am        F
Na       Na     Na Na Na Na Na
C             Em        Am        F
Na       Na     Na Na Na Na Na
C             Em        Am        F
