[Intro]
[E] [C#m] [A] [E] [E/G#] [E] [A] [E/G#]

[E]Far away, as far [C#m]as the eye can see
[A]Is a place [E]that I don't understand
[E/G#]A place we [E]know as Sonderland
[A]I call it [E/G#]home, call it hell
[E]I'm sure if it could it [C#m]would call me names as well
[A]Like a [E]"walking detriment"
[E/G#]On the [E]world's worst carousel
[A]These strange times [E/G#]that we live in
[E]Will slowly eat you alive [C#m]if you don't fit in
[A]Welcome to [E]my dark despair
[E/G#]Everyone here [E]is a nightmare
[A]As they all keep [E/G#]talking in their sleep
[E]I am wondering
[C#m]If it surely [A]gets better than this?
[E]Why do good things come [E/G#]to all those terrible people?
[E]And would God be the next big [A]thing if you heard her on the radio?
[E/G#]Where did all [E]the good ones go?
[C#m]They finish last [A]or they die young
[E]Then it's onto the next [E/G#]post, the story of a generation
[E]So dead [A]set on novelty
[E/G#]But some honesty now and [E]then would be quite nice
[C#m]Welcome to [A]my dark despair
[E]Everyone here [E/G#]is a nightmare
[E]As they all keep [A]talking in their sleep
[E/G#]I am wondering
[E]If it surely [C#m]gets better than this?
[A]No, I don't want wanna [E]sit and talk about politics
[E/G#]Or social [E]sciences in contradiction
[A]Not when I'm staring down [E/G#]the edge of the precipice
[E]With grim ambition
[C#m]♪
[A]These strange times [E]that we live in
[E/G#]Will slowly eat you alive [E]if you don't fit in
[A]Welcome to [E/G#]my dark despair
[E]Everyone here [C#m]is a nightmare
[A]As they all keep [E]talking in their sleep
[E/G#]I am wondering
[E]If it surely [A]gets better than this?
[E/G#]Surely gets [E]better than this
[C#m]It surely gets [A]better than this
[E]It surely gets [E/G#]better than this
