C                             F 
It's getting better all the time
  G            C           G           C 
I used to get mad at my school (No, I can't complain)
      G              C               G            C 
The teachers that taught me weren't cool  (No, I can't complain)
        G          C     G            C 
You're holding me down, turning me around
 G          C            G    C  G
Filling me up with your rules

Chorus:
      C                         F
I've got to admit it's getting better
          Em             F
A little better all the time
   C                          F
I have to admit it's getting better

It's getting better since you've been mine

C    G          C          G   C 
Me used to be angry young man
    G         C           G   C 
Me hiding me head in the sand
     G            C       G      C 
You gave me the word I finally heard
     G          C          G
I'm doing the best that I can ...

Chorus

 F  C    F   C   F   C  F   C   C
Getting so much better all the time
 C                           F     Em              Fmaj7
It's getting better all the time, better, better, better
 C                           F      Em             Fmaj7 G
It's getting better all the time, better, better, better

I used to be cruel to my woman
                                                        G   F C G
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene
And I'm doing the best that I can

Chorus:
I admit it's getting better
A little better all the time (can't get no worse)
Yes, I admit it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been mine ...

Getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time, better, better, better
It's getting better all the time, better, better, better

 F  C    F   C   F  C  F    F   C
Getting so much better all the time
