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                               G
And I see the permanent damage you 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 
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                                 G
I hold onto this pride because these days it's all I have 
       F/C                             Am      G        F/C
And I gave you my best and we both 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 

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
A better man 

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