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 MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm G+G x2
[Verse 1]
D MajorD
I move on like a sinners prayer
A augmentedA
And letting go like a levee breaks
B minorBm
Walk away as if I don't care
G+G
Learn to shoulder my mistakes
D MajorD
Or built to fade like your favorite song
A augmentedA
Get reckless when there's no need
B minorBm
Laugh as your stories ramble on
G+G
Break my heart, but it won't bleed
B minorBm
My only friends are pirates
A augmentedA
That's just who I am
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
But I'm better as a memory than as your man
[Verse 2]
D MajorD
Never sure when the truth won't do
A augmentedA
I'm pretty good on a lonely night
B minorBm
I move on the way a storm blows through
G+G
I never stay, but then again, I might.
D MajorD
I struggle sometimes to find the words
A augmentedA
Always sure until I doubt
B minorBm
Walk a line until it blurs
G+G
Build walls too high to climb out
B minorBm
But I'm honest to a fault
A augmentedA
That's just who I am
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
I'm better as a memory than as your man
[Bridge]
G+G D MajorD
I see you leaning, you're bound to fall
A augmentedA D MajorD
I don't want to be that mistake
G+G D MajorD
I'm just a dreamer and nothing more
G/BG/B A augmentedA
You should know it before it gets too late
[Verse 3]
D MajorD
Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel
A augmentedA
You never know where they're gonna land
B minorBm
First you're spinning, then you're standing still
G+G
Left holding a losing hand
D MajorD
But one day you're gonna find someone
A augmentedA
And right away you'll know it's true
B minorBm
That all of your sinking's done
G+G
It was just a part of the passing through
B minorBm A augmentedA
Right there in that moment you'll finally understand
G+G A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
That I was better as a memory than as your man
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Better as a memory than as your man
[Outro]
