Better Than Good

Lyrics

Capo 2nd fret

[D]As I look back at my [G]life
and how it has un[D]furled[G]
[D]I realize I've had it [G]easier than
so many people in this [D]world[G]

[Em]No war being fought on my front [A]lawn
[Em]No skies filled with [A]bombs

Better than [D]good
I know I've [G]had it
Better than [D]good[G]

I'm lucky to live in a country
where for me freedom sings
Born a USA white male
with a working class upbringing

No cop's knee on my neck
No one telling me my body is their business

Better than good
I know I've had it
Better than good

[Bm]Everybody's [F#m]life can been hard
[Em]With the struggles and the [A]pain
[Bm]But some of us [F#m]started up a ladder
[Em]With a big net below to [Em7]catch us
And lift us back up a[A]gain

Break

I grew up in a small town
With two parents, five siblings
And a love so strong
Always had what I needed
For when I wanted, I was on my own

Not hungry a day in my life
Not wondering where I would sleep at night

Better than good
You know I have it
Better than good

So I will cheer all those brothers and sisters
as they remove the stones
Tearing down the walls that
I have never known

I’m proud of my hard work and my accomplishments
But I’m more grateful for the help on me that was spent

Better than good
Right now I have it
Better than good
Most of my life
Better than good
Better than good
Better than good
Better than good
