NOTE: All "(RIFFS)" are completely optional.
It's something I came up with to 'thicken' the song when played acoustically.
It incorporates Ben's lead line into the playing of Frank's chords.

[Intro]
G5
G5
[Verse]
G5 I've got me a shovel Em7 I'm digging a ditch Gsus4 G5 D/F# And I'm gonna fight for this four square feet of land like a mean old son-of-a-bitch G5 I've got me a future Em7 I'm not stuck on the past Gsus4 G5 D/F# I've got no new tricks, yeah, I'm up on bricks, but, me, I'm a machine and I was built to last
[Chorus]
C D/F# G5 I'm trying to get better 'cause I haven't been my best C D/F# Em She took a plain black marker and started writing on my chest C D/F# G5 G/F# Em She drew a line across the middle of my broken heart and said "come on now let's fix this mess" C D/F# We can get better
G5 (RIFF 1)
Because we're not dead yet
[Verse]
G5 They threw me a whirlwind Em And I spat back the sea C G5 D/F# I took a battering but I've got thicker skin and the best people I know are looking out for me G5 So, I'm taking the high road Em My engine's running high and fine C G5 D/F# May I always see the road rising up to me and my enemies defeated in the mirror behind
[Chorus]
C D/F# G5 I'm trying to get better 'cause I haven't been my best C D/F# Em She took a plain black marker and started writing on my chest C D/F# G5 G/F# Em She drew a line across the middle of my broken heart and said "come on now let's fix this mess" C D/F# We can get better
G5*
Because we're not dead yet
[Bridge]
G/D G/C# It's just a knot in the small of your back G/C G/A You can work it out with your fingers G/D G/C# It's just a tune that gets stuck in your head G/C G/A You can work it out with your fingers G/D G/C# It's just some numbers tangled up in your songs G/C G/A You can work it out with your fingers G/D G/C# It's just a simple Braille missive from the person you miss G/C Am D/F# A reminder you could always be a little bit better than this
[Chorus]
C D/F# G5 So, try and get better and don't ever accept less C D/F# Em Take your plain black marker and write this on your chest C D/F# Draw a line underneath all of this unhappiness G5 G/F# Em Come on now let's fix this mess C D/F# We can get better G5 G/F# Em (RIFF 2 & 3) Because we're not dead yet C D/F# (RIFF 4 & 5) We can get better G5 (RIFF 1) Because we're not dead yet
