[Verse 1]
E
I know you're up at night
A E
Cause I hear you walking
B7
When you gently close the door
E
We should be talking
[Verse 2]
E
I want to get to you
A E
But baby once again
B7
I get to feeling useless
B7 E
So I pretend
[Chorus 1]
E A E
I've got to be a better man than that
E A E
I swear I'll listen and I won't talk back
E A E
I've got to hold you closer than I do
E A B7
I've got to be a better man to you
[Verse 3]
E
I know you need my love
A E
But it's so hard to show
B7
What's in my heart I keep locked up
E
I can't let go
[Verse 4]
E
So hear me when I say
A E
I'll always love you
B7
I won't hold anything
E
Above you
[Chorus 2]
E A E
I've got to be a better man than that
E A E
I swear I'll listen and I won't talk back
E A E
And I've got to hold you closer than I do
E A B7
I've got to be a better man to you
