Intro: 4 bars (key of E)

I was down on my luck
Had a broke down truck
I was barely getting by
Had a hole in my shoe
A case of the blues
Felt lonely, thought I would cry

Things were bad but they're getting better

I’m bouncing back, I’m on track
I’m living and loving life
Everything’s better with you
Everything’s better with you
... ... ... ...

I was down on my luck
Was stuck in a rut
I didn’t know what to do
Untill you came along
You righted the wrongs
And I fell in love with you

Things were bad but they're getting better

I’m bouncing back, I’m on track
I’m living and loving life
Everything’s better with you
Everything’s better with you

You say get to your feet
Don’t accept defeat
You’ll beat the odds if you try
As long as you’re by my side

Interlude: 8 bars

When things don’t go my way
You do save the day
The way that you always do
Say it ain’t all that bad
Just look what you have
A wife and kids who love you

Things were bad but they're getting better

I’m bouncing back, I’m on track
I’m living and loving life
Everything’s better with you
Everything’s better with you

Everything’s better with you
