Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

[E]I know I’m probably better off [B]on my own, than [A]loving a man who didn’t know What he [A]had when he had it, and [E]I see the permanent damage you [B]did to me Never again, I just [A]wish I could forget when it was magic [E]I wish it wasn’t 4am, standing in the mirror [B]Saying to myself, you know you had to do it [A]I know the bravest thing I ever did was [B]run

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

[E]I know I’m probably better off [B]all alone, Than needing a man who could [A]change his mind At [A]any given minute, and it’s always on your [E]terms I’m hanging on every [B]careless word, hoping it might turn [A]sweet again [A]Like it was in the beginning, but your [E]jealousy, I can hear it now You’re talking [B]down to me like I’ll always be around You push my [A]love away like it’s some kind of loaded gun Boy, you [B]never thought I’d run

I [A]hold onto this pride because these [B]days it’s all I have And I [C#m]gave you my best and we both know you [B]can’t say [C#m]that [C#m]You can’t say that, no, [A]you can’t say that, I wish you were a [E]better man I wonder [B]what we would’ve become, if you were a [C#m]better man We [A]might still be in love, if you were a [E]better man You [B]would’ve been the one, if you were a [C#m]better man. [A]Yeah, yeah

If you were a [E]better man, we [B]might still be in love If you were a [C#m]better man, you [A]would’ve been the [B]one If you were a [E]better man
