* means one strum Intro: G D Am C Verse 1: G D I know I’m probably better off on my own Am Than lovin' a man who didn’t know C What he had when he had it G D And I see the permanent damage you did to me Am C Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic Am I wish it wasn’t 4am, standing in the mirror C Saying to myself, you know you had to do it Am B7 I know the bravest thing I ever did was run
Chorus: G D Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again Am C But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man G And I know why we had to say goodbye D Like the back of my hand Am C And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man B7 A better man Verse 2: G D I know I’m probably better off all alone Am C Than needing a man who could change his mind at any given minute G And it’s always on your terms D I’m hanging on every careless word C Hoping it might turn sweet again Am Like it was in the beginning Am But your jealousy, I can hear it now C You’re talking down to me like I’ll always be around Am C You push my love away like it’s some kind of loaded gun Am B7 Boy, you never thought I’d run Chorus: G D Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again Am C But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man G And I know why we had to say goodbye D Like the back of my hand Am C And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man B7 A better man Bridge: Am C I hold onto this pride because these days it’s all I have Am C D Em* And I gave you my best and we both know you can’t say that N.C. You can’t say that N.C. I wish you were a better man Am* I wonder what we would’ve become C* If you were a better man Am We might still be in love C If you were a better man Am You would’ve been the one C If you were a better man B7 Yeah, yeah Outro: Am* C* We might still be in love, if you were a better man D*
