Better man
C - G - F
C G
2. I know I’m probably better off on my own
F
than lovin' a man who didn’t know what he had when he had it.
C G
And I see the permanent damage
you did to me,
F
never
again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic.
F
I wish it wasn’t 4 a.m., standing
in the mirror,
G
saying
to myself, you know you had to do it,
F
I know the bravest thing I
ever did was run !
C
G
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again,
Am
G F
but I just miss you, and I just
wish you were a better man.
C G
And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand,
Am G F C
and I just miss you, and I just
wish you were a better man, a better man.
C G
2. I know I’m probably better off all alone
than
needing a man who could
F
change
his mind at any given minute.
C
G
And it’s always on your terms, I’m hanging on every careless word,
F
hoping
it might turn sweet again, like it was in the beginning.
F
But your jealousy, I can hear
it now,
G
you’re
talking down to me like I’ll always be around.
F
F
You push my love away like
it’s some kind of loaded, yeah !
G
Boy, you never thought I’d run !
+ CHORUS + C - G - Am - F
F G
+ I hold onto this
pride because these days it’s all I have,
F Am
G F
and I
gave you my best and we both know you can’t say that.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
You can’t say that. - - -
C G
+ I wish you were a
better man, I wonder what we would’ve become,
F G
if you were a better man, we might still be in love.
C G
If you were a better man you
would have been the one,
F
if
you were a better man, yeah, yeah !
C
G
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again,
Am G F
but I just miss you, and I just
wish you were a better man.
C
G
And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand,
Am G F
and I just miss you, and I just
wish you were a better man.
C G F
+ We might still be in love,
if you were a better man,
G C
you
could have been the one if you were a better man...
G
F
We might still be in love, if
you were a better man, better man.
