Better Days Lyrics & Chords By Mark Lind

Hanging on the corner by the Main Street laundromat
Frankie's out of prison and he swears he's never going back
Two nights later he's a murderer.
They caught him down the projects hiding at his girl's
Hey there, Frankie. Is this all you've ever known to be?
Davey was a smart kid raised on hate and fear
A highschool dropout, he ain't going anywhere
I ain't see Davey in a lot of days
Last I heard he got put away
Hey Davey. Davey, when you coming back home to me?
God help me cause when I look around
I see a lot of people that are waiting on better days.
Seamus made an effort to get out and beat his name
He found himself a girl and he went West free of shame
The town ain't gonna let him get away
The last I heard he passed away
Seamus, I remember when you used to make us laugh
God help me cause when I look around
I see a lot of people that are waiting on better days.
I think you really ought to know right now
You all had a small impact on me
I think you really ought to know
If it weren't for you then I wouldn't be me
Nathan was a good kid that couldn't seem to find a way
I'd see him from time to time and he'd smile to disguise the pain
One March night he went and took his life
When Julian told me he had tears in his eyes
Hey Nathan. Don't you know your friends all miss your face?
God help me cause when I look around
I see a lot of people that are waiting on better days.
