Intro: E B C#m A (2x) 


E 
Yellow boxes in my car. 

Pack 'em high til' I can't see far, yeah 
A                  E 
I'm moving on to better. 

E 
Try not to care what others think. 

If I fail again try to swim and sink. 
A                         E 
They'll say I could do 'Better'. 


E            B        C#m         A 
So I blame it on my optimistic heart. 
E            B         C#m         A       
At least I'll have stories for my scars. 
E                    B 
American dream my life away, 
C#m                         A 
When all of my dream cry 'MAYDAY' 'MAYDAY'! 
E                 C#m      A 
I'm may lose my heart, but one day I'll be a star! 

E 
They've promised me a bigger house. 
                                                  A 
I'll make the money playing out loud, don't you hear. 
                      E 
That sounds much 'Better'. 

E 
And if a make this dreaming last, 
                                 A      
Is it worth the painful past? I hope...  
                        E 
I hope this will get 'Better'. 

E              B         C#m        A 
So I'll blame it on my optimistic heart. 
E              B       C#m          A 
At least I'll have stories for my scars. 
E                      B 
American dream my life away, 
C#m                         A 
When all of my dream cry 'MAYDAY' 'MAYDAY'! 
E                C#m         A 
I'm may lose my heart but one day I'll be a star!
