A Better Man

              D
(1st Verse)  The hardest thing I'll ever do,
Is ta walk away still lovin' you.
         G                                  D
But I'd give anything if you loved me, something's just ain't meant to be.
        A                               G              D  (Stop)
Cain't say it's all been time lost, and in the long run,
I'd be a better man, better off.
                 G
(Chorus)  Gonna find my pride and self esteem,
                                   D
Get on with my life, follow my dreams, ain't lookin' back.
 E                            G
Learn from my mistakes, once I've past this heartache.
   A                         (Stop)                          D
I know when the hurtin' stops, I'll be a better man, better off.


             D
(2nd Verse)  I know Rome wasn't built in a day.
There's a lot of good mem'ries in my way.
      G                                     D
If I had it all to do over again, wouldn't change a thing, 'cept for the end.
            A
You want to be something you gotta pay the cost.
    G              A (Stop)
But in the long run,  I'll be a better man, better off.
(Chorus)    (Lead)  D  G  D
       E                            G

A                            (Stop)                              D
I know when the hurtin' stops      I'll be a better man, better off.
                                                (Stop)
A better man, better off, a whole lot better off.
