Instead chords by Blake Mcgrath

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
Db
Go, be yourself on your way
                    Bbm
And don't ever look back to check if I'm okay
                  Gb
And don't ever be sad that you chose him instead
                      Ab
'Cause I don't want regrets and I'd rather be rid of it
    Db
And when you want someone who'll care
                      Bbm
Who will know how you feel when you don't wanna share
                  Gb
Who will show you support when you've lost your meaning
                   Ab
Just remember this time when you chose not to be with me
🎸

Pre-Chorus:
      Db
And I tried to defend how I thought we would play out
  Bbm
I came and confess that I love you more than he does
   Gb                              Ab
So choose me instead, oh choose me instead 'cause


Chorus:
                          Db
He is not good enough for you
                          Bbm
He is not good enough for you
                Db          Gb
He won't do the things that I would do
                         Ab
He's not good enough for you
                         Db
He is not good enough to be
                       Bbm
Even half the man that he should be
                         Gb
And I watched you choose him instead of me
                     Ab
I watched you choose him instead of me


Verse 2:
Db
Go, be in love, I don't care
                  Gb
But don't ever pretend that we're both unaware

'Cause the truth is that you still permit me to be
                     Ab
Close enough, that I know that you don't want me to leave
    Db
And then I remember he's there
                        Bbm
And he's been there for years at your side like a stain
                        Gb
And when I see you with him, in your eyes there's a pain
                       Ab
And it's trapped you inside like you can't get away


Pre-Chorus:
      Db
And I tried to defend how I thought we would play out
  Gb
I came and confess that I love you more than he does
                                     Ab
Choose me instead, woah choose me instead


Chorus:
          Db
He is not good enough for you
                       Bbm
He is not good enough for you
                Ab          Gb
He won't do the things that I would do
                         Ab
He's not good enough for you
                         Db
He is not good enough to be
                    Bbm
Even half as good as he should be
                         Gb
And I watched you choose him instead of me
                     Ab
I watched you choose him instead of me


Bridge:
Db
He's not good enough for you
Bbm
He's not good enough for you
Gb
He's not good enough for you
Ab
He's not good enough for you


Pre-Chorus:
      Db
And I tried to defend how I thought we would play out
  Bbm
I came and confess that I love you more than he does
Gb                                          Ab
Choose me instead, he's not good enough for you


Outro:
Db
 He's not good enough for you, no
Bbm
 He's not good enough for you
Gb
 He won't do the things that I would do, no
A
 He's not good enough for you
Db
 He is not good enough to be
    Bbm
Even half the man that he should be
                            Gb
'Cause I watched you choose him instead of me
                     Ab
I watched you choose him instead of me

Db
