This tab was created with piano, specifically for the acoustic version of the song, which has less timbre, giving it a lighter sound than the regular song. It can be played with guitar, but playing it on the piano produces the best sound and musicality. Youtube link is in the description. Guitar chords:

A5                    F5          C5         G5
Better days are comin', if no one told you

  A5                    F5         C5         G5
I hate to hear you cryin' over the phone, dear

    A5                 F5              C5         G5
For seven years runnin', you've been a soldier

Better days are comin'

I know you've been hurtin'

             A5         F5         C5   G5
Waitin' on a train that just won't come

                   A5        F5
The rain, it ain't permanent

    C5            G5             A5
And soon we'll be dancin' in the sun

We never miss the flowers until the sun's down

    A5                  F5              C5          G5
You never count the hours until they're runnin' out

              A5                F5                       C5        G5
You're on the other side of the storm now, you should be so proud

Better days are comin'
