Alright....here's my take. I'm learning this for my band to cover so I need to make sure it's as correct as possible. I think everything is 100 right except the last verse after the last solo and before the outro chorus. Can someone look over this and gimme thoughts?

Guns N? Roses
Better

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I?d know better, better
Ooooh no one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I?d know better, better

The hardest part this troubled heart
Has ever yet been through now
To heal the scars that got their start
Inside someone like you now
Had I know or I been shown back when
How long it?d take me
To break the charge that?s done me harm
And all but one erased me

I never would know that I could
No matter what you pay me
Replay the part you stole my heart
I should?ve know you?re crazy
And all I knew was that with you
I?d want someone to save me
It?d be enough but just my luck
I fell in love and baby

All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
You know I know better
Now I know you better

So bittersweet this tragedy won?t ask for absolution
This melody inside of me still searches for solution
A twist of fate the change of heart
Cures my infatuation
A broken heart to provide the spark
For my determination

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I?d know better, better
Ooooh no one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I?d know better, better

All that I wanted was
I know you know you know better
You know I know you know better
Now you know me better

I never wanted you to be so full of anger
I never wanted you to be somebody else
I never wanted you to be someone who thinks
They know themselves
I only wanted you to see things for yourself

All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
Now we all know better
All that I wanted was

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

If I were you I?d bet it?s true put forth the invitation
Or find this love that can?t keep up with your adoration
Just use your head and in the end
You?ll find your inspiration
To choose your steps and won?t regret
This kind of aggravation

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I?d know better, better
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I?d know better, better

Those lyrics are not right but oh well. I still dont know how people hear charge, let alone understand how they think it makes sense. These are the lyrics


Guns N' Roses - Better


No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better


No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better




The hardest part
This troubled heart
Has never yet been through now
We've healed the scars
That got their start
Inside someone like you now

Well had I known
Or I'd been shown back when how long it?d take me
To break the challenge
That brought me home
And all that won't erase me

I never would
Know that I could
No matter what you'd pay me
Replay the part
You stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy

If all I knew was that with you
I'd want someone to save me
It'd be enough
But just my luck
I fell in love and baby all that I wanted was

Now I know you better
You know I'd know better
Now I, know you better

So bittersweet
This tragedy
Won't ask for absolution
This melody
Inside of me
Still searches for solution
A twist of fate
A change of heart
Kills my infatuation
A broken heart
Provides the spark for my determination

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better ohh
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better

All that I wanted was

I know you know you know better
You know I know you know better
Yeah you know me better

(Solo)




I never wanted you to be so full of anger
I never wanted you to be somebody else
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves
I only wanted you to see things for yourself

(Solo)

All that I wanted was

Now I know you better
Now we all know better
All that I wanted was



(Solo)

I know better (repeat) 

If I were you
I?d manage to
Avoid the invitation
Of promised love
That can?t keep up
With your adoration
Just use your head
And in the end
You?ll find your inspiration
To choose your steps
And won't regret
This kind of aggravation

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better

The reason for my post was that I am thinking I had it wrong and was looking for suggestions that might help, not just confrimation that I was wrong on parts of it. Did you have any suggestions?

yes just use the lyrics I gave  you they are pretty much 99% correct.
I even have it broken up how it should be sung so its easier not to miss lines in the song.

Wow I never thought about the abhor part instead of ingore or avoid.

I don't know why but I can't seem to hear challenge instead of charge. I totally understand that charge doesn't make sense and probably isn't right, but I just can't hear him saying something else there.

I wasn't as interested in this song's lyrics as the other ones when the leaks first came out, but I have to admit these are great lyrics, especially for a poppy song and potential single.

Just gave it a close listen and I think Dave's pretty much nailed it.

For the first time, I can now clearly hear "challenge" in that spot.

I do think he says "I never would, not that I could" here though.

I completely agree with that, its what i hear through my headphones, after listening to it continously for last 30 mins.....

also, i personally think that its:

A twist of fate the change of heart
Cures my infatuation
A broken heart to provide the spark
For my determination

i hear a definite R in there, so i am pretty sure its 'Cures' not 'Kills'

How about this

Guns N' Roses - Better


No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better


No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better




The hardest part
This troubled heart
Has never yet been through now
We've healed the scars
That got their start
Inside someone like you now

Well had I known
Or I'd been shown back when how long it?d take me
To break the charms
That brought me harm
And all that won't erase me

I never would
Not that I could
No matter what you'd pay me
Replay the part
You stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy

If all I knew was that with you
I'd want someone to save me
It'd be enough
But just my luck
I fell in love and baby all that I wanted was

Now I know you better
You know I'd know better
Now I, know you better

So bittersweet
This tragedy
Won't ask for absolution
This melody
Inside of me
Still searches for solution
A twist of fate
A change of heart
Cures my infatuation
A broken heart
Provides the spark for my determination

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better ohh
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better

All that I wanted was

I know you know you know better
You know I know you know better
Yeah you know me better

(Solo)




I never wanted you to be so full of anger
I never wanted you to be somebody else
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves
I only wanted you to see things for yourself

(Solo)

All that I wanted was

Now I know you better
Now we all know better
All that I wanted was



(Solo)

(I know better, repeat)

If I were you
I?d manage to
Abhor the invitation
Of promised love
That can?t keep up
With your adoration
Just use your head
And in the end
You?ll find your inspiration
To choose your steps
That won't regret
This kind of aggravation

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better

Listening to him in Rio made me think it may be:

"To break the charms
That brought me harm"

Anyone else here that in the broadcast?

I think charge makes sense to me. " break the charge that brought me harm"

speaking of the sense, if someone says something about you true or false, they are charging you with a behavior or an action. thus if someone says something false about you and you spend all your time trying to disprove them, you would be trying to 'break the charge that brought you harm'... makes sense to me.... although charms makes sense too... I guess we'll have to wait until the lyric sheet comes out to know for sure... until then sing whatever you want ok

After listening to the Budapest show's version and the demo these are the corrrect lyrics:


No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better


The hardest part this troubled heart
Has ever yet been through now
We've healed the scars
That got their start
Inside someone like you now
Well had I known
Or I'd been shown
Back when I'd long you take me
To break the charms
That brought me harm
And all that won't erase me

I never would
Not that I could
No matter what you'd pay me
Replay the part
You stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy
If all I knew was that with you
I'd want someone to save me
It'd be enough
But just my luck
I fell in love and baby
All that I wanted was

Now I know you better
You know I'd know better
Now I know you better

So bittersweet this tragedy
Won't ask for absolution
This melody inside of me
Still searches for solution
A twist of fate
The change of heart
Cures my infatuation
A broken heart
Provides the spark for my determination

No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better ohh
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better

All that I wanted was

I know you know you know better
You know I know you know better
Now you know me better

I never wanted you to be so full of anger
I never wanted you to be somebody else
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves
I only wanted you to see things for yourself


All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
Now we all know better
All that I wanted was

(Ah, na, na, na) repeat

If I were you I?d manage to
Abhor the invitation
Of promised love
That can?t keep up
With your adoration
Just use your head
And in the end
You?ll find your inspiration
To choose your steps and won't regret
