E  Asus2  x4

[Verse 1]
E                                   Asus2
 She took off down the road towards Austin
      Bsus2              Asus2
And I lost it, heard she wound up in Fort Worth
E                     Asus2

A                          C#m
 Some days are better than others
         Bsus2            Asus2
Some are mothers, I ain't even gonna lie
A                         C#m
 Some days, I don't wanna get up
             Bsus2             Asus2       A
I just wanna give up and don't even get me started
      E        Asus2  E  Asus2
On some nights

E                       Asus2
 I guess I could always call her
        Bsus2             Asus2
But why bother? Hell, she won't pick up that phone
E                     Asus2
 Got no pride left to swallow
     Bsus2            Asus2
So tomorrow I'll try again to just move on

[Chorus]
A                         C#m
Some days are better than others
         Bsus2            Asus2
Some are mothers, I ain't even gonna lie
A                         C#m
 Some days, I don't wanna get up
             Bsus2             Asus2
I just wanna give up and don't even get me started
   A           E  A  B
On some nights

A                         C#m

I just wanna give up and don't even get me started

 Some days are better than others
         Bsus2            Asus2
Some are mothers, I ain't even gonna lie
