GETTING BETTER
(Lennon-McCartney)
1967


C      G                                C
            It's getting better all the time


  G
I used to get mad at my school
(No I can't complain)

The teachers who taught me weren't cool
(No I can't complain)

You're holding me down
(Ah)

Turning me round
(Oh)

Filling me up with your rules
(Ooh)



     C                         F
I've got to admit it's getting better
(Better)
  C                     G
A little better all the time
(It can't get no worse)
  C                          F
I have to admit it's getting better
(Better)
     C                                F      G      C
It's getting better since you've been mine



   G
Me used to be angry young man

Me hiding me head in the sand

You gave me the word

I finally heard

You're doing the best that I can



     C                         F
I've got to admit it's getting better
(Better)
  C                     G
A little better all the time
(It can't get no worse)
  C                          F
I have to admit it's getting better
(Better)
     C                                F
It's getting better since you've been mine

Getting so much better all the time
C                                 F

Em              F
Better, better, better
C                                 F
      It's getting better all the time
Em              F
Better, better, better



  G
I used to be cruel to my woman 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
(Ooh)
