 A
Say something
                   B       G        A
Shout it from the rooftops of your head
                 A
Make it sort of mean something
               B        G      A
Make me understand or I’ll forget
                A
People here on life’s beaches
               B          G        A
Wish upon the waves that hide the sand
                    A
Let them know that life teaches
                    B     G        A
You how to build a castle in your hand

           E             G         A
Maybe the songs that we sing are wrong
            E              G        A
Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone
             E           G        D
Bring it on home and it won’t be long
                     A E F#m
It’s getting better man!

Chorus:
                               A E F#m
Hey what was that you said to me?
                                A E F#m
Just say the word and I’ll be free
                                 Bm  D
And when the stars are shining bright
                      A E F#m
We’re getting better man!
                        A  E F#m
And crashing in upon a wave
                              A  E F#m
It’s calling out beyond the grave
                        Bm D
And on the fire in the sky
We’re getting better man!

Build something
Build a better place and call it home
Even if it means nothing
You’ll never ever feel that you’re alone

Maybe the songs that we sing are wrong
Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone
Bring it on home and it won't be long
It's gettin' better man!

Chorus:
Hey! what was that you said to me?
Just say the word and I'd be free?
Yeah as the fire in the sky
It's getting better man!
And crashing in upon a wave
It's calling out beyond the grave
And when the stars are shining bright
It's getting better man!

It's gettin' better man!
And what was that you said to me?
You told me one day I'd be free
And when the fire's burning bright
I'm gettin' better man!
And crashing in upon a wave
It's calling out beyond the grave
And when the stars are in the sky
We're getting better man

                      A E F#m
We're getting better man
                      A E F#m
We're getting better man
                      Bm D
We're getting better man
                      A E F#m
We're getting better man

We're getting better man
We're getting better man
We're getting better man
We're getting better man

We're getting better man
We're getting better man
We're getting better man
We're getting better man

We're getting better man
We're getting better man
We're getting better man
We're getting better man

We're getting better man
We're getting better man
We're getting better man
We're getting better man

We're getting better man
We're getting better man
We're getting better man
We're getting better man

We're getting better man
We're getting better man
We're getting better man
We're getting better man

We're getting better man
We're getting better man
We're getting better man
We're getting better man
