      E
Far away as far as the eye can see
                E/G# E    A
Is a place that I   don't understand
A place we know as Sonderland
  E/G# E   E
I call it home call it hell
I'm sure if it could it would
        E/G#  E   A
call me names as well
Like a walking detriment
On the world's worst carousel

E
These strange times that we
       C#m
live in  Will slowly eat you
  A                 Am
alive if you don't fit in

Chorus:
E         A
Welcome to my dark despair
C#m          A
Everyone here is a nightmare
E                 A
As they all keep talking in
                 C#m
their sleep I am wondering
       A
If it surely gets
Am              E
better than this

Why do good things come to
all those terrible people?
And would God be the next big thing
If you heard her on the radio?
Where did all the good ones go?
They finish last or they die young
Then it's onto the next post
The story of a generation
So dead set on novelty
But some honesty now and
then would be quite nice

Chorus

B          C#m
No I don't want wanna sit
                   A
and talk about politics
Or social sciences in
             B
contradiction Not when
     C#m
I'm staring down the
              A
edge of the precipice
     E/G#
With grim ambition

E
These strange times
that we live in
C#m
Will slowly eat you
  A                 Am
alive if you don't fit in

Chorus

E                         E/G# A
  Surely gets better than this
E                            E/G# A
  It surely gets better than this
E                            E/G# A E
  It surely gets better than this
