[Verse 1]
C*        C        F         C
Maybe the love you won't receive
     C*         C        F       C
Will lead me beyond that part of me
C               Am       Dm Am
And I know it's sad, but I  agree
    C          Am    Dm  Am
You gave it away too easily.

C*              C          F       C
When all of the things you made me see
     C*         C        F     C
That lead me to this solemn decree
C                    Am          Dm       Am
I ain't saying she's better than you, you see,
C              Am      Dm      Am
She's just better than you for me.

(Play the Intro again, otherwise play the verse chords.)

[Chorus]
   F           Am
So throw those hands up
Am       F       Dm       Am    C
I didn't mean to drag you down
    F         Am
And keep that head up
      F              Dm     Am     C
It's better than the run around

[Verse 2]
C*         C      F          C
Maybe your mother won't ever see
C*          C    F        C
Half of the us become the we,
C               Am      Dm Am
And I know it's sad but I  agree,
C              Am       Dm  Am
You could just leave so easily.

C*              C          F         C
When all of the things you showed to me
C*              C       F      C
That lead me to this solemn decree
C                    Am          Dm       Am
I ain't saying she's better than you, you see,
C              Am      Dm      Am
She's just better than you for me.

[Chorus]
   F           Am
So throw those hands up
Am       F       Dm       Am    C
I didn't mean to drag you down
F             Am
And keep that head up
     F               Dm     Am    C
It's better than the run around

[Bridge]
    F                    Am
And later on, you'll be grateful that
       F              Dm       Am
That I gave it to you straight away
       F                      Am
'cause honestly, I could have just said
F            Dm           Am
These things happen every day.
F            Dm           Am
These things happen every day.

(Play the Intro again, otherwise play the verse chords.)

[Verse 3]
C*       C         F         C
Like all your men, set in the past
C*             C         F         C
It's better to leave without being asked
C           Am          Dm     Am
So tell me again you'll let me go
C              Am           Dm    C
Without saying things you already know,
          F                  Am
Like it's over and you don't know her'
           Dm       F     Am
But let me tell you honestly,
C                    Am          Dm       Am
I ain't saying she's better than you, you see,
C             Am       Dm      Am
She's just better than you for me.

[Outro]
C                    Am          Dm       Am
I ain't saying she's better than you, you see,
C              Am      Dm      Am
She's just better than you for me.
