VERSE:
G+G
 Is this what you meant?
  A minorAm          E minorEm
Is this what you dreamed of?
G+G
When you were making your plans
A minorAm        E minorEm
Shaking the dirt off?
    G+G
Do you feel like
    A minorAm  E minorEm
You and I belong? (Oh woah oh!)
        G+G
Just keep your eyes on the road
  A minorAm       E minorEm
And nothing can go wrong

CHORUS:
       D MajorD   E minorEm     C majorC
You can do so much better than this
       D MajorD   E minorEm     C majorC
You can do so much better than this

VERSE:
      G+G
I've been checking my sums
  A minorAm         E minorEm
Oh where did the time go?
     G+G
Holding my photograph
A minorAm      E minorEm
Up to the window
       G+G
Through the paper
    A minorAm    E minorEm
And refracted sun (Oh woah oh!)
   G+G
I can see all the things
A minorAm       E minorEm
I wish that I'd done

CHORUS:
          D MajorD  E minorEm     C majorC
You can hang your hopes on the medicine
         D MajorD  E minorEm      C majorC
You can put your faith in the phone in
     D MajorD          E minorEm     C majorC
You can tell yourself you're doing your best
       D MajorD   E minorEm     C majorC
You can do so much better than this

BRIDGE 1:
   C majorC
Get a grip on yourself
   A augmentedA
Get a grip on yourself
     G+G               A minorAm
Could've been something, but you're too late
    C majorC    C/BC/B   E minorEm
And you weren't invited anyway

CHORUS:
       D MajorD   E minorEm       C majorC
Cos the photograph showed the wrong man
        D MajorD     E minorEm      C majorC
Cos there is no soap star holding your hand
         D MajorD  E minorEm      C majorC
You don't see yourself in the freeze frame
        D MajorD   E minorEm    C majorC
Must be someone else using your name

BRIDGE 2:
D MajorD      E minorEm       C majorC
  And everyone will be the same
And everyone will gloat
D MajorD      E minorEm          C majorC
  And everywhere you'll see your name
In every shop window

OUTRO CHORUS:
D MajorD    E minorEm     C majorC
  It's better than this
       D MajorD   E minorEm     C majorC
You can do so much better than this
       D MajorD   E minorEm     C majorC
You can do so much better than this
       D MajorD   E minorEm     C majorC
You can do so much better than this
