Better Man

[Intro] C  G  F/C

C                              G
I know I'm probably better off on my
 own
G                      F/C
Than lovin' a man who didn't know
F/C
What he had when he had it
    C                              
And I see the permanent damage you 
 G
did to me
G                     F/C
Never again, I just wish
F/C
I could forget when it was magic
F/C
I wish it wasn't 4am, standing in 
the mirror
       G
Saying to myself, you know you had 
to do it
    F/C
I know the bravest thing I ever did 
was run

C
Sometimes, in the middle of the 
night,
       G
I can feel you again
            Am
But I just miss you, and
        G               F/C
I just wish you were a better man
       F
And I know why we had to say goodbye
            G
Like the back of my hand
            Am
And I just miss you, and
         G               F/C
I just wish you were a better man
           C
A better man

( C )

C                               G
I know I'm probably better off all 
alone
Continues after the ad
G
Than needing a man who could
F/C
change his mind at any given minute
           C
And it's always on your terms
                       G
I'm hanging on every careless word
                    F/C
Hoping it might turn sweet again
F/C
Like it was in the beginning
F/C
But your jealousy, I can hear it now
                 G
You're talking down to me like I'll 
always be around
                   F/C
You push my love away like it's some
 kind of loaded *
         G
Boy, you never thought I'd run

C
Sometimes, in the middle of the 
night,
       G
I can feel you again
            Am
But I just miss you, and
        G               F/C
I just wish you were a better man
       C
And I know why we had to say goodbye
            G
Like the back of my hand
            Am
And I just miss you, and
         G               F/C
I just wish you were a better man
           C  G  Am  G  F/C
A better man

   F/C                             
I hold onto this pride because 
    G
these days it's all I have
       F/C                         
And I gave you my best and we both 
    Am      G        F/C
know you can't say that
F/C
You can't say that
                     C
I wish you were a better man
C        G
I wonder what we would've become
                F/C
If you were a better man
     G
We might still be in love
               C
If you were a better man
C        G
You would've been the one
                 F/C
If you were a better man
F/C
Yeah, yeah

Sometimes, in the middle of the

       G

But I just miss you, and
        G               F/C
I just wish you were a better man
       C
And I know why we had to say goodbye
            G
Like the back of my hand
            Am
And I just miss you, and
         G               F/C
I just wish you were a better man
           C
A better man

      G                          
We might still be in love, if you 
         Am       G
were a better man
        F/C
Better man
