Better Man

G


[Verse 1]

      G                                            Em
Blame myself cause I thought there was something wrong with me
                   Bm                  D
Thought it would be easy, just holding on
  G                               Em
Now I see, there’s no one close to me
                       Bm
That’s not how it’s supposed to be
          D
I made em' run


[Pre-Chorus]

         C          D            Em
Watch me as I handmade my own stone wall
             C                     D
There’s a reason I won’t ever let you in


[Chorus]

                G
Why they never mean what they say?
                Em
Told me they’d come back here some day
          C                               D
Like my love was not enough for them to stay
            G
Never any luck when I try
              Em
Everyone’s so good at goodbyes
                C                      D
And it’s all I’ve ever known to walk away

            C         D
Yeah, I’m gonna leave you
                  Em
And learn how to stand
                C         D          G
Then I’m gonna come back, a better man


[Verse 2]

     G                              Em
I taught myself that no one could love me
              Bm
It wouldn’t be easy
            D
This road I’m on

             G                         Em
And now I’m gone, my hands hanging low again
                       Bm
Yeah but I could use a friend
                    D
But I don’t trust no one


[Pre-Chorus]
               C          D            Em
Yeah I better calm down, Mr. wrecking ball
             C                     D
There’s a reason I won’t ever let you in


[Chorus]

                G
Why they never mean what they say?
                Em
Told me they’d come back here some day
          C                               D
Like my love was not enough for them to stay
            G
Never any luck when I try
              Em
Everyone’s so good at goodbyes
                C                      D
And it’s all I’ve ever known to walk away

            C         D
Yeah, I’m gonna leave you
                  Em
And learn how to stand
                C         D          G
Then I’m gonna come back, a better man


[Bridge]

C, D, G, Em 5x


[Chorus]

               G
Why they never mean what they say?
                Em
Told me they’d come back here some day
          C                               D
Like my love was not enough for them to stay
            G
Never any luck when I try
              Em
Everyone’s so good at goodbyes
                C                      D
And it’s all I’ve ever known to walk away

            C         D
Yeah, I’m gonna leave you
                  Em
And learn how to stand
                C         D          G
Then I’m gonna come back, a better man
