Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

Is this what you meant?

 Is this what you dreamed of?

When you were making your plans

Shaking the dirt off?

 Do you feel like

 You and I belong? (Oh woah oh!)

 Just keep your eyes on the road

 And nothing can go wrong

Chorus

 You can do so much better than this

 You can do so much better than this

Verse

 I've been checking my sums

 Oh where did the time go?

 Holding my photograph

Up to the window

 Through the paper

 And refracted sun (Oh woah oh!)

 I can see all the things

I wish that I'd done

Chorus

 You can hang your hopes on the medicine

 You can put your faith in the phone in

 You can tell yourself you're doing your best

 You can do so much better than this

Bridge 1

 Get a grip on yourself

 Get a grip on yourself

 Could've been something, but you're too late

 And you weren't invited anyway

Chorus

 Cos the photograph showed the wrong man

 Cos there is no soap star holding your hand

 You don't see yourself in the freeze frame

 Must be someone else using your name

Bridge 2

And everyone will be the same

And everyone will gloat

And everywhere you'll see your name

In every shop window

Outro chorus

It's better than this

 You can do so much better than this

 You can do so much better than this

 You can do so much better than this
