Better Year - Sam Barber | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]
---------------------
C#m | A | E 
C#m | A 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
E            C#m       A       E
 If it's late  and you hear me calling tonight
           C#m          A           E
But I ain't  right there and you're wondering why
C#m            A          E
  I've made my way to the severed seas
             C#m        A            E
Where the sun  burns hot and the wind does sing
C#m A E C#m     A             E
         Days away from where I left
            C#m     A         E
There's heaven sent eyes in a pickup bed
C#m          A         E
  I'm trying harder to get on back
             C#m        A          E
But the tides  moving in and god's pushing the raft
C#m | A | E 

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
C#m          A              E
  A thousand miles have worn my feet
          C#m  A          E
And the body I hold ain't getting sleep
C#m          A            E
  Your sweet touch moving closer to me
              C#m      A            E
Well, it ain't  what I got but it's what I need
C#m A E        A   C#m
      Hold on, my dear

[Chorus]
---------------------
               B                    E/B
Cause I'm fighting like hell to face   my fears
    A                   C#m
Someday I'll tame the fires that brought me here
B          A
 And it'll burn like hell
       C#m                      B
But it might as well be the last time you're in tears
                 C#m
I'm betting on a better year

[Interlude (1)]
---------------------
A | E/B | C#m | A 
E/B

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C#m      A        E
  I'm so far into so many things lord
      C#m      A         E
I pray  someday I'll earn my wings
C#m         A            E
  I've seen hell and been through greed
             C#m       A        E
That's a part  of me I hope you do not meet
C#m | A | E 

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
C#m        A               E
  Waste my breath on things I hate
          C#m       A          E
Like an ongoing trap that I'll never escape
C#m              A           E
  But I hope the words that I do sing
            C#m     A       E
Leave a mark  on you like a wedding ring
C#m A E        A   C#m
      Hold on, my dear



[Interlude (2)]
---------------------
A E                 C#m        A
   I'm betting on a better year

[Outro]
---------------------
E    C#m    A     E
 You know I dug my grave
         C#m      A        E
I was buried alive with my dying faith
     C#m         A          E
Your heart beats where I lay
           C#m           A          E
And through  you it seems I've found my way
C#m A E   C#m          A          E
      My dear, you'll see one day
       C#m        A       E
And all  I've done is for heaven's sake
