[Verse]
 G                   Am              D
I come from where the rivers meet the sea
G                         Am             D
That's part of why I'm so wild and fancy free
N.C.             Am             C
I was early into crazy ways,
                                  D
my folks said it's just a phase
                     G             C  G C
They were hoping for better days


[Verse]
    G             Am              D
Now in my line of work I seem to see a lot more than most
G                  Am                        D
Write 'em down and pass 'em around, it's the gospel from the coast
                 Am           C
Reflections not just replays
                                D
Taking time to escape the maze
            G               C  D C G
Lookin' for better days


[Verse]
G                 Am                     D
Spent a year of my life one night on the beaches in ole Beirut
G                     Am                     D
Seems like all they're aimin' for there is to hang around and shoot
            Am           C
Each others lives away
                  Am            D
Bloody winds on a distant bay
                    G
They're lookin' for better days


[Bridge]
F              C       F              C
Lookin' to the left,   lookin' to the right
F              Am                 C
Looking to the stars to shed some light
F           C         F           C
Hoping for a breath,   hoping for a break
F             Am               C            D
Hoping for the give without the take


[Verse]
G                     Am                 D
The dreamers line the state road just to watch the runway show
G                     Am                         D
Slouched behind their steering wheels they just watch the big jets go
                      Am            C
Streakin' through the morning haze
                 Am             D
Focal point of a distant gaze
            G             C G C
Lookin' for better days


[Solo]
F     C     F     C
F     Am    C
F     C     F     C
F     Am    C     D


[Verse]
G                 Am                   D
Pale invaders and tanned crusaders are worshipping the sun
G                Am                  D
On the corner of walk and don't walk somewhere on U.S. 1


[Chorus]
                     Am         C
I'm back to live in Floridays
                     Am           D
Blue skies and ultra violet rays
                   G
Lookin' for better days
                    Am             C
I'm back to live in Floridays
                                   D
Blue skies and ultra violet rays
            G            C               G                C
Lookin' for better days,     lookin' for better days
            G            C               G            C
Lookin' for better days,     lookin' for Floridays


[Outro]
Am    G   C
Bet - ter days,
Am    G   C
bet - ter days              (everybody's lookin' for)
Am    G   C
Bet - ter days              (somewhere beneath the shining star)
Am    G   C
Bet - ter days              (take me, won't you take me to)
Am    G   C
Bet - ter days              (sure could use a few)
Am    G   C
Bet - ter days
