Chords

[Verse]
C
Staring at out the window       In the early morning time

Am
Wishing I was smarter   wishing I could find a way to

F                                                                       C
To make a million dollars       And get this god damn bank up off my back

C
Up before the sunrise           I head out on the road

Am
I go places I don’t want to go          I do what I’m told to do

F                                                                       C
All to make a dollar            that never seems to be enough these days

                G                       F                               C
I don’t mind working for a living       but God there has to be a better way
[Chorus]
Am                                              F
There's got to be a better way  Some rest beyond these endless days

C                                               G
Running circles, chasing dreams Every road leads to the same old scene.

        Am                                      F
I'm tired of the struggle and the fight Looking for a way to make it right.

C
Oh, there's got to be a better way

G                       C
A better way to live my life.
[Verse]
C
Driving through the darkness    chasing distant lights

Am
Every mile feels longer but I push on through the night

F                                                               C
Praying for direction and a way leave this struggle far behind

C
I’ve been down this road        at least a 1000 time before

Am
Maybe this time it’ll lead me to a place with something more

        F                                               C
But every turn I take leads me back around to yesterday

                G                               F                       C
I don’t mind working for a living       but God there has to be a better way
[Chorus]
Am                                              F
There's got to be a better way  Some rest beyond these endless days

C                                               G
Running circles, chasing dreams Every road leads to the same old scene.

Am                                              F
I'm tired of the struggle and the fight Looking for a way to make it right.

C
Oh, there's got to be a better way

G                       C
A better way to live my life.
[Bridge]
Em                              F                       C                                       G
I'm counting all the hours, losing all the days Wondering if it's worth the price I pay.

Em                                      F
But something in me says don't give in

                                        C               G
There's more to life than just getting by, I’ve got to win
[Chorus]
Am                                              F
There's got to be a better way  Some rest beyond these endless days

C                                               G
Running circles, chasing dreams Every road leads to the same old scene.

Am                                              F
I'm tired of the struggle and the fight Looking for a way to make it right.

C
Oh, there's got to be a better way

G                       C
A better way to live my life.
