E B C#m A (2x)


E
Yellow boxes in my car.

Pack 'em high til' I can't see far, yeah
A                  E
I'm moving on to better.

E
Try not to care what others think.

If I fail again try to swim and sink.
A                         E
They'll say I could do 'Better'.


E            B        C#m         A
So I blame it on my optimistic heart.
E            B         C#m         A      
At least I'll have stories for my scars.
E                    B
American dream my life away,
C#m                         A
When all of my dream cry 'MAYDAY' 'MAYDAY'!
E                 C#m      A
I'm may lose my heart, but one day I'll be a star!

E
They've promised me a bigger house.
                                                  A
I'll make the money playing out loud, don't you hear.
                      E
That sounds much 'Better'.

E
And if a make this dreaming last,
                                 A     
Is it worth the painful past? I hope... 
                        E
I hope this will get 'Better'.

E              B         C#m        A
So I'll blame it on my optimistic heart.

I'll tell you all about the things I left for,
C#m                          A
Hanging onto dreams, thought I was meant for,
E                         B                  C#m                      A
But never did I think it'd take the heart from me, it'd take the heart from me.
