Em Bm G D
The first thing that they tell you about is that you will be king
Em G D
A priest at least they tell you and then that everything will be
A
alright at last
Em
You will finally be cast into your rightful throne
Bm Em

Em Bm G D
Next thing that they tell you is not to be afraid
Em G D
You think you're better than the others somewhat fine and brave
A
They lead astray you could be up there all alone
A star they say a million miles away from home
G F Em
An empty space is that the place you wanted
Em Bm G D
The last thing that they tell you about they ask you will it hurt
Em G D
They said sell what you can boy get out while the getting's good
A
And they whisper in the evening all around town
A
Oh humpty dumpty the king is falling down

The Byrds Things Will Be Better written by Chris Hillman
Dallas Taylor
G D
Things will be better now
C D G
Don't ask me why don't ask me how
D
And both of us feel the same way
C D G
What we're feeling inside we just can't seem to say
A
Cause misunderstanding is the cause of it all
D
Take you to the top just to watch you fall
G D
Some time it's lonely and cold
C D G
When you're so far away from home
D
Confusion can lead you astray
C D G
It's just a terrible price to pay
A
I bought you some books I dressed you up real fine
D
Go and live your life just let me live mine
