Better As A Memory chords by Kenny Chesney
Guitar chords with lyrics
If you have trouble with barre chords and still want the general sound of the song,
transpose it down 2 half steps and then put a capo on the 2nd fret. Still sounds great
[Intro]
D A Bm G x2
[Verse 1]
D
I move on like a sinners prayer
A
And letting go like a levee breaks
Bm
Walk away as if I don't care
G
Learn to shoulder my mistakes
D
Or built to fade like your favorite song
A
Get reckless when there's no need
Bm
Laugh as your stories ramble on
G
Break my heart, but it won't bleed
Bm
My only friends are pirates
A
That's just who I am
G A D
But I'm better as a memory than as your man

[Verse 2]
D
Never sure when the truth won't do
A
I'm pretty good on a lonely night
Bm
I move on the way a storm blows through
G
I never stay, but then again, I might.
D
I struggle sometimes to find the words
A
Always sure until I doubt
Bm
Walk a line until it blurs
G
Build walls too high to climb out
Bm
But I'm honest to a fault
A
That's just who I am
G A D
I'm better as a memory than as your man
[Bridge]
G D
I see you leaning, you're bound to fall
A D
I don't want to be that mistake
G D
I'm just a dreamer and nothing more
G/B A
You should know it before it gets too late
[Verse 3]
D
Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel
A
You never know where they're gonna land
Bm
First you're spinning, then you're standing still
G
Left holding a losing hand
D
But one day you're gonna find someone
A
And right away you'll know it's true
Bm
That all of your sinking's done
G
It was just a part of the passing through
Bm A
Right there in that moment you'll finally understand
G A Bm A Bm
That I was better as a memory than as your man
G A D
Better as a memory than as your man
[Outro]
