Lyrics

Things Have Got To Get Better in a While (Strickler)

Intro: The main riff for the song is A-C-D-D#-D#-E-G-A
It moves like a weird surf tune

Verse One:
A C D D# E
I wish I knew what was going on
I?m searching for something that?s already gone
Put out your hands and reach to the trees
shut your mouth and get on your knees
A C A D
The people you love only hold you back
A C A D#/D
The things that are fun get your life off track
A C A D D# E
Don?t worry about it just throw back your head and smile
D C B Bb A riff
Cause things have got to get better in a while

Verse Two: same musically as verse one
Where is the light, the eternal flame
That supposedly puts all the others to shame?
I would stay here all night long
If I thought it would help me to get along
The people you love only hold you back
the things that are fun get your life off track
don?t worry about it just throw back your head and smile
Cause things have got to get better in a while

Bridge: A-G/A-D-C/D (X4) THEN D-C/D-G-A (X3) D-C-D-E

Verse Three: same as verse one musically
Make your decisions and hold your head
think before you speak then defend what you?ve said
Look around the bend here it comes again
Ain?t been this way since I don?t know when
The people you love only hold you back
The things that are fun get your life off track
Don?t worry about it just throw back your head and smile
Cause things have got to get better in a while

Bridge Two: same as bridge one but repeat the D-C-D-E four times
Then back to the riff for ending
