Song Written by MICHAEL TARTAGLIA
TITLE: BITTERLY BETTER
This is a mod-rock song with a Brit-Scot feel. It's fairly quick,
limited only by the maximum speed the vocalist, guitar player, and
drummer can go. Notes: The verses are casual pace, chourus is double
time, strummed as fast as possible. Also, the final 4 chords are 1/2
count each. "b" = flat; "#" = sharp;
"/\/\/\/\/" = hold or shake for four counts.

You saw your girl was with me and all the while,

Some panic strikes you heart doing a three minute mile.

Your mind's a merry mess of untidiness.

It should be near nearly neat I gotta vex.

And I guess; like the rest; you're the best; I should stress;

Though you got problems lying in your mind's nest.

To put it most politely your career just valued less.

The drive for Formula One certainly was not like the rest.

At least you're in the paddock as their special guest.
