Capo: 4th fret
[Intro]
C G Am F
[Verse 1]
C G
I know I'm probably better off on my own
Am F
Than lovin’ a man who didn't know what he had when he had it
C G
And I see the permanent damage you did to me
Am G
Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I wish it wasn't 4 AM, standing in the mirror
G
Saying to myself, "You know you had to do it"
Am F
I know the bravest thing I ever did was run
[Chorus]
C G
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
Am F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
C G
And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand
Am F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
F
A better man
[Verse 2]
C G
I know I’m probably better off all alone
Am
Than needing a man who could change his mind
F
At any given minute
C
And it was always on your terms
G
I waited on every careless word
Am
Hoping they might turn sweet again
F
Like it was in the beginning
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
But your jealousy, oh, I can hear it now
G
Talking down to me like I'd always be around
Am F
Push my love away like it was some kind of loaded gun
G F
Oh, you never thought I'd run
[Chorus]
C G
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
Am F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
C G
And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand
Am F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
F
A Better man
G Am F
[Bridge]
C G
I hold onto this pride because these days it's all I have
Am G
And I gave to you my best and we both know
F
you can't say that
C
I wish you were a better man
G
I wonder what we would've become
Am
If you were a better man
F
We might still be in love
C
If you were a better man
G
You would've been the one
Am
If you were a better man
F
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
C G
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
Am F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
C G
And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand
Am F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
F
a Better man
C G
(Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again)
Am
We might still be in love, if you were a better man
(But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man)
F
Yeah, yeah
C G
I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand
Am F
But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man
A better man
[Outro]
F
We might still be in love
C
If you were a better man
G
You would've been the one
Am
If you were a better man
