Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↑↓↑

[C] [G] [F] [C]I know I’m probably better off [G]on my own, Than loving a man who [F]didn’t know. What he had when he had it, And [C]I see the permanent damage you [G]did to me. Never again, I just [F]wish, I could forget when it was magic.

I wish it wasn’t [F]4am, standing in the mirror. Saying [G]to myself, you know you had to do it. I [F]know the bravest thing I ever did was run.

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

[C]I know I’m probably better off [G]all alone Than, needing a man who could, [F]change his mind at any given minute. And it’s always on [C]your terms, I’m hanging on every [G]careless word. Hoping it might turn [F]sweet again, like it was in the beginning

But your [F]jealousy, I can hear it now. You’re talking [G]down to me like I’ll always be around. You push my [F]love away like it’s some kind of loaded. Boy, you [G]never thought I’d run.

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

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

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

We [G]might still be in love, if you were a [Am]better man [G] Better [F]man…
