[Intro]
Cmaj7 Asus4 A x3
Am7 Em7 Gmaj7
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
Is something wrong?
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
'Cause you seem mighty low
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
Tell me what's going on
Am7 Em7 Gmaj7
Probably been there before
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
Sit up and fix your face
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
You see me, I'm okay
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
We ain't got time today
Am7 Em7 Gmaj7
Throw on your darkest shades and smile for the camera; I want you to know
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
(I just hope you know that, that it gets) That it gets better with time
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
(I just hope you know that, that it gets) That it gets better with time
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
(I just hope you know that, that it gets) That it gets better with time
Am7 Em7 Gmaj7
(I just hope you know that, that it gets) That it gets better with time
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
Keep it up
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
I see you holding on
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
But it was easy, no?
Am7 Em7 Gmaj7
Now you feel all alone
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
Quit crying, ease your pain
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
Gon' be here either way
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
Nowhere to place the blame
Am7 Em7 Gmaj7
So put your makeup on and smile in the mirror; I want you to know
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
(I just hope you know that, that it gets) That it gets better with time
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
(I just hope you know that, that it gets) That it gets better with time
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
(I just hope you know that, that it gets) That it gets better with time
Am7 Em7 Gmaj7
(I just hope you know that, that it gets) That it gets better with time
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7 Asus4
Your inner strength is the reason you haven't said a word
A Cmaj7
But your countenance reveals the bad day that you've endured
Asus4
It's probably not the first and not the last to be assured
A
The past is fleeting the future
Cmaj7
A promise present keeping us moving forward
Asus4
With hope we seek true happiness
A
Throughout our lives with
Am7 Em7
Trials we face bring pain and sorrow, but resistance sires strength
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
The easy path rarely leads to what our heart truly desires
Asus4 A
In this life we must face many a worthy challenge for the outcome to satisfy us
Cmaj7
To win in spite of struggle implies much greater magnification
Asus4 A
To ones honor which I value more than instant-gratification
Cmaj7 Asus4
So believe me when I say that time can heal most any wound
A Am7
And ease most pain, yet the scars remain until the day we lay entombed
Em7
So please know nothing in this moment is the same as a moment ago
Gmaj7
Each one that pass is a treasure lost
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
(I just hope you know that, that it gets) That it gets better with time
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
(I just hope you know that, that it gets) That it gets better with time
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
(I just hope you know that, that it gets) That it gets better with time
Am7 Em7 Gmaj7
(I just hope you know that, that it gets) That it gets better with time
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
(I just hope you know that, that it gets)
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
(I just hope you know that, that it gets)
Cmaj7 Asus4 A
(I just hope you know that, that it gets)
Am7 Em7 Gmaj7
(I just hope you know that, that it gets)
[Outro]
Amaj7 G#m7 Dmaj7 C#m7 x2
Amaj7 G#m7
Tommorrow's not in your hands, that's why I pray to the man
Dmaj7
And I think it's arrogant to make plans in advance
C#m7
One day at a time
Amaj7
I burn the sage for all the negative, pay it no mind
G#m7
I'm at ease with the struggles, they're better with time; need not I remind
Dmaj7 C#m7
Tomorrow's not in your hands, neither is control
Amaj7
Nigga, reap what you sow and pay it in full
G#m7
Think before you burn the bridge, paying the toll; just play your role
Dmaj7
So much pressure in the world I started gnashing my teeth
C#m7
Hit the gas so hard I blew a gasket and leaked
Amaj7
Drain me for what I got like a nasty leech
G#m7
You'll find hard learned lessons just asking our teach'
Dmaj7 C#m7
Life is just what you make it, take it how you gon' take it
Amaj7
My ground is solid and no earthquake could not shake it
G#m7
Ain't waiting on nothing, not even no reparations
Dmaj7
Heavily meditating, but it gets better with time
C#m7
And I'm sober now, no alcohol to hide behind
Amaj7 G#m7
I grow older and grow bolder
Dmaj7
I move mountains and move boulders
C#m7
I cross borders, don't take orders and thank God, that's important
