A#
Is this what you meant?
    Cm                   Gm
Is this what you dreamed of?
A#
When you were making your plans
Cm               Gm
Shaking the dirt off?
       A#
Do you feel like
        Cm     Gm
You and I belong? (Oh woah oh!)
                A#
Just keep your eyes on the road
    Cm              Gm
And nothing can go wrong

Chorus:
               F    Gm          D#
You can do so much better than this
               F    Gm         D#
You can do so much better than  this

I've been checking my sums
Oh where did the time go?
Holding my photograph
Up to the window
Through the paper
And refracted sun
(Oh, ah, oh)
I can see all the things
I wish that I'd done

Chorus:
You can hang your hopes on the medicine
You can put your faith in the phone-in
You can tell yourself you're doing your best
You could do so much better than this

       D#
Get a grip on yourself
        C
Get a grip on yourself
           D#      A#         F          D#  Gm
Could've been something, but you're too late
         D#     A#      F   D#  Gm
And you weren't invited anyway

'Cause the photographs
Show the wrong man
'Cause there is no soap star
Holding your hand
You don't see yourself
In the freeze-frame
Must be someone else
Using your name

And everyone will be the same
And everyone will glow
And everywhere, you'll see your name
In every shop window

Chorus:
It's better than this
You could do so much better than this
You could do so much better than this
You could do so much better than this
