The hardest thing I'll ever do,
      D
Is to 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              A A A 
Cain't say it's all been time lost, and in the long run,   (stop)
                              D
I'd be a better man, better off.


[Chorus]  
       G
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                        A                                   D
I know when the hurtin' stops, I'll be a better man, better off.


[Verse 2]
        D
I know Rome wasn't built in a day.
          D
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
Gonna be something you gotta pay the cost.
    G             A                                     D
But in the long run,    I'll be a better man, better off.


[Chorus]                 
       G 
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                        A                                   D
I know when the hurtin' stops, I'll be a better man, better off.

       E                            G
Gonna learn from my mistakes, once I've past this heartache.

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