Blake Levon - The World Aint Gonna Get Better

Intro 

Em                         G 
  I’m sitting here at my piano 
        D                     A          A7 
Wasting time, waiting for the day that I die 
Em                            G 
  I know that I ain’t nothing special 
     D                            A         A7 
Just sitting here contributing to nothing essential 
Em                      G 
  Why don’t I understand that I won’t be the man 
D                    A           A7 
  To cure diseases or paint Mona Lisas 

Em                      G 
  I’m all alone in this world 
      D                               A            A7 
I’m a burden on the things that go on every single day 
           Em                    G 
And I think, maybe I should just kill myself 
       D                      A   A7 
End it all in the blink of an eye 
Em                    G          D            A  A6 
  Maybe I should just end my life and say goodbye

[Verso 1]

E                            D 
  I used to think when I was young 
                            A 
That there would be nothing wrong 
                         E 
With the world outside today 
                      D 
Now I know that I was wrong 
                              A 
All these things I thought so long ago 
                     E 
Were not so right to say 


[Verso 2]

                           D 
Before I’m done I know the end 
                               A 
All these days are starting to blend together 
                      E 
I don’t know if I can tell 
                                  D 
All these thoughts run through my mind 
                          A 
Is this the end of all mankind 
                    E    Em D6 C6 G A 
Are we all going to hell 



[Refrão]

      Em                         G 
I know the world ain’t gonna get better 
              D 
I only wish I knew 
              A                        Em 
Every painful day I wake up in is déjà vu 
                   G 
I’m running out of time 
                         D 
This hill’s too steep to climb 
                  A 
If everything’s alright 
                              Em 
then how come I don’t feel so fine

[Verso 3]

E                           D 
  As these months turn into years 
                            A 
And as these eyes turn into tears 
                         E 
I’m still here all on my own 
                    D 
Looking up into the sky 
                             A 
I just can’t help but wonder why 
                    E 
I guess we’ll never know 


[Verso 4]

                            D 
I try to take things day by day 
                       A 
As my existence fades away 
                             E 
But I know I can’t take much more 
                               D 
And through all this I still believe 
                              A 
That nothing will change if I leave 
                        E   E7 E7(#9) 
What the hell am I here for 

Chorus and Intro simultaneously 
     Em                                 G 
I know        the world ain’t gonna get better 
      I’m sitting here    at    my    piano 
              D 
I only wish I knew 
       Wasting time 
              A 
Every painful day I wake up in is déjà vu 
Waiting for the day that I die 

Em                          G 
         I’m running out of time 
I know that I ain’t nothing special 
                         D 
This hill’s too steep to climb 
                        Just sitting here 
                  A 
If everything’s alright then how come I don’t feel so fine 
Contributing to nothing essential 

Em                                      G 
              The world ain’t gonna get better 
  Why don’t I understand 
                         D 
           I only wish I knew 
That I won’t be the man 
                         A 
           Every painful day I wake up in is déjà vu 
To cure diseases     or     paint Mona Lisas 

Em                        G 
       I’m running out of time 
  I’m all alone in this world 
                               D 
This hill’s too steep to climb 
                         I’m a burden on the things 
                  A                                   Em 
If everything’s alright then how come I don’t feel so fine 
That   go   on   every  single  day  and  I  think
