E         B              C#m-B-
   Let the sun refuse to shine
  A           G#m              F#m        B      
   It won't be long before the days are brighter
  E           G#m              C#m       B   
   If every step's an uphill climb, oh hoh hoh
  A       G#m           F#m          B
   Carry on until they feel much lighter
  A              G#m            F#m  C#m
   For all the clouds up in the sky, hoh
  A              G#m              F#m
   For all the teardrops in our eyes

             Chorus
       B                
   It can only get better
  E    G#m       A
   Be still my heart
                        E
   It can only get better
          G#m       A
   We've come this far
                       F#m
   It can only get better
               G#m
   I know it hurts
  A                B
   For what it's worth
                       E
   It can only get better

  E             B              C#m-C#m7/B
   If he should ever come our way
  A          G#m              F#m      B    
   Dry the tears and look somewhere above him
  E           G#m      C#m       C#m7/B
   Might be easier to say than do
  A            G#m               F#m      B      
   But just pretend that you no longer love him
  A             G#m             F#m    C#m
   When your back's against the ropes, hoh
  A          G#m               F#m
   When you miss someone the most

   (Repeat Chorus)

   Adlib: E-G#m-A-; (2x)

  F#m           G#m
   I know it hurts
  A                B
   For what it's worth
                       E-A-
   It can only get better
                       E-A-  
   It can only get better, hah
  F#m          G#m
   I know it hurts
  A                B
   For what it's worth
                       E-A-E-A-
   It can only get better
                       E-A-E-A-E
   It can only get better
