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
Aalright at last
- Em
You will finally be cast into your rightful throne
Bm Em They got it all down cold
Em Bm G DNext 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 DThey 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 DThings 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 GWhat 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 DSome 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 GIt'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
- PLAY TOO ..
