A Better Man

[Intro] Em  G  D  A

[First Part]

Em                 G
I've made a deal
      D              A
To my heart, my very heart
          Em               G
For every beat was angry
       D             A
And salvation was so far

   Em
I prayed with my flesh
           G
Because my soul gave away
       D
After setting my shrine
             A
I found some beasts out to slay

   Em
I tried to look back
             G
'Cause I was feeling so wrong
          D
My past stared at my heart
            A
Like those beasts were my own

[Chorus]

    G
I'm cutting ties
Continues after the ad
    Bm
And burning bridges
  G
Standing ground
     Bm       A
And making decisions
  G
Around the world
    Em
And home again
    G
I'm on the road
   A
To be a better man

( Em  G  D  A )

[Second Part]

   Em
No answer has come
   G
As if by design
     D
I've turn to the mirror
 A
Ready to dive

  Em
Smashed down my idols
     G
And opened my books
        D
Casting to a shallow grave
   A
My pride and my looks

[Chorus]

    G
I'm cutting ties
    Bm
And burning bridges
  G
Standing ground
     Bm       A
And making decisions
  G
Around the world
    Em
And home again
    G
I'm on the road
   A
To be a better man

[Outro]

        G
And the Universe met me there
        Bm           A
Like an inner cease-fire
       G
And my questions were no more
          Bm            A
I was the one I most admired

( Em  G  D  A )
