Lyrics

BETTER DAYS
these days things don't seem to be going wrong
but somehow, I just don't feel as strong as other times
tomorrow looming holds a bit of doubt
especially when I stop and think about places that I'm going
CHORUS D>7 A>7 Em7 F>7 D>7 A>7
these days are better days and I've ever known before
but I do have to stop a while and think about what they're for
the women in my life just seemed to pass me by
none of the matter you know I never cry about the two were not
who'll hold them tomorrow is still a mystery to me
maybe if I stop then I'll see a path to follow
CHORUS
SOLO
here comes the sunrise a new day to be
and here's the people that
always surround me a carousel of love
