[Verse 1]
  F                    C7sus4      F   C7sus4
I wake up each day and wonder what for
   F                      C7sus4  C#dim7  Dm   Dm7
It seems to me there must be    something more
          Bb                  F
Something more than stacks of dishes
    C7               F
And washing this old floor
Eb7         Ab
If I had my pick of wishes
    Bbm     Bb7      Eb7sus4 Eb7
I'd wish me out that door
 
[Verse 2]
           Eb7sus4
'Cause I'm hungry for adventure
        Ab
And I'm fed up with this grind
      Eb7sus
If I don't have some excitement soon
    Ab
I'm gonna lose my mind
  Gm7                C7sus4      C7           Fm   Eb  Db
I want a life that's filled with thrills both wild and free
 
[Chorus]
        Ab                 Eb7
There's gotta be something better
Ab            Db
    Something better
        Ab                 Eb7sus4     Eb7      Ab
There's gotta be something better than this for me
 
Csus4   C
 
[Verse 3]
  F                    C7sus4         F   Csus4
I look around here and I      want to cry
  F                      C7sus4  C#dim7   Dm   Dm7
I feel like the world is passing       me by
      Bb                  F
And I just can't help but wonder
     C7                 F
Am I doomed to wash and dry
Eb          Ab
And is it a curse I'm under
   Bbm    Bb7   Eb7sus4  Eb7
To do it 'til I die
 
[Verse 4]
       Eb7sus4
When I could be an explorer
        Ab
Setting off to distant lands
            Eb7sus4
Instead of spending every afternoon
     Ab
Just getting dishpan hands?
   Gm7               C7sus4         Fm   Eb Db
My future looks like nowhere that I long to be
 
[Chorus]
        Ab                 Eb7
There's gotta be something better
Ab            Db
    Something better
        Ab                 Eb7sus4     Eb7      Ab
There's gotta be something better than this for me
 
[Verse 5]
Ab                Db                Ab
If it's weird and wild let's go and find it
Db   Eb
HAHA HAHA
    Ab           Db        Ebsus4 Ab    F#
The crazier, the better is what I say
B                    E               B        E F#7
To tell the truth, I really wouldn't mind it
      B                     E          F#      Eb7sus4 Eb7
If we found some place with ten square meals a day
    Db             Ab
Let danger call my name
      Bbm7      Eb7sus4 Ab
If It does, I'm gonna   hide
     Db             Ab
I'll put my courage to the test
 
Bbm7        Bb7     Eb7
And I'll be by your side (He'll be by your side)
 
[Verse 6]
        Ab                 Eb7sus4     Ab   Eb7sus4 Eb7
There's gotta be something better than this
 Ab                    Eb7      C7    Fm  Fm7
I know there's so much out there   to see
      Eb                 Ab           Gm7   C7    Fm  Dm7
And I know this life I'm living can't be my desti-ny
 
[Chorus]
        Ab                 Eb7sus4  Eb7
There's gotta be something better
Ab           Db
   Something better
        Ab                 Eb7                  Fm Bb Eb Ab
There's gotta be something better than this for me
        Db                                 Eb  Ab   Cb   Db/Eb Eb Db/Eb Eb Ab
There's something better than this for you and me-----------------------------

              [JIM]
I wake up each day and wonder what for
It seems to me there must be something more
Something more than stacks of dishes
And washing this old floor
If I had my pick of wishes
I'd wish me out that door

'Cause I'm hungry for adventure
And I'm fed up with this grind
If I don't have some excitement soon
I'm gonna lose my mind
I want a life that's filled with thrills both wild and free
There's gotta be something better,something better
There's gotta be something better than this for me

I look around here and I want to cry

[RIZZO, spoken]
Ah, me too

[JIM]
I feel like the whole world is passing me by

[GONZO, spoken]
It is

[JIM]
And I just can't help but wonder
Am I doomed to wash and dry
And is it a curse I'm under
To do it 'til I die

[GONZO, spoken]
I hope not

[RIZZO, spoken]
Yeah

[JIM]
When I could be an explorer

[GONZO]
(spoken)
Sure, you could

[JIM]
Setting off to distant lands

[RIZZO, spoken]
What, not so fast

[JIM]
Instead of spending every afternoon
Just getting dishpan hands?
My future looks like nowhere that I long to be

[ALL THREE]
There's gotta be something better,something better

[JIM]
There's gotta be something better than this for me

[GONZO, spoken]
Well, now you're talking. Yeah

(sung)
If it's weird and wild let's go and find it
HAHAHAHA
The crazier, the better is what I say

[RIZZO, spoken]
Yeah, that's true
(sung)
To tell the truth, I really wouldn't mind it

[GONZO, spoken]
Mind what?

[RIZZO]
If we found some place with ten square meals a day

[JIM and GONZO]
Let danger call my name

[RIZZO]
If It does, I'm gonna hide

[JIM]
I'll put my courage to the test

[GONZO]
And I'll be by your side

[RIZZO]
He'll be by your side

[JIM]
There's gotta be something better than this

[GONZO and RIZZO]
Something more than this to see

[JIM]
I know there's so much I have to see
And I know this life I'm living can't be my destiny

[ALL THREE]
There's gotta be something better,something better

[JIM]
There's gotta be something better than this for me

[GONZO, spoken]
And me!

[RIZZO, spoken]
Wait a minute, what about me?

[ALL THREE]
There's gotta be something better than this for you and me
