Intro:
G#m       B       F#       G#m


Verse 1:
G#m
 I'm bringing out my best impression
   B
Of seven-year-old me in confession
     F#                          G#m
It's never more appropriate than now

G#m
 An open book, I'll open up if you do
B
 Nothing to hide and very little to lose
   F#                                 G#m
It feels to me like things are on the change

Chorus:
E                          G#m           F#
 I'm trying to be a better man, whatever that is
     E                            G#m             F#
It's slightly disconcerting, no direction, no set plan
E                          G#m           F#
 I'm trying to be a better man, whatever that is
  E
Nobody's perfect, Nobody's perfect
   F#                            G#m
Go on, give us a hand, give us a hand


Instrumental:
G#m       B       F#       G#m


Verse 2:
G#m
 Another day, another gratitude list
  B
Remembering the Amazon, November, when we kissed
F#                                  G#m
Pages filled with rhymes and better times

G#m
 Finding a lover and losing them to fate
B
 Finding another, thank your lucky stars, mate
F#                            G#m
You do not know how lucky you are


Chorus:
E                          G#m           F#
 I'm trying to be a better man, whatever that is
     E                            G#m             F#
It's slightly disconcerting, no direction, no set plan
E                          G#m           F#
 I'm trying to be a better man, whatever that is
  E
Nobody's perfect, Nobody's perfect
   F#                            G#m
Go on, give us a hand, give us a hand


Instrumental:
G#m       B       F#       G#m


Bridge:
  C#m
A helping hand to understand
       D#m
That I need to breathe, It's time to leave
     E
This wonderland of wedding bands
    F#
And everyone in-between


Chorus:
E                          G#m           F#
 I'm trying to be a better man, whatever that is
     E                            G#m             F#
It's slightly disconcerting, no direction, no set plan
E                          G#m           F#
 I'm trying to be a better man, whatever that is
  E
Nobody's perfect, Nobody's perfect
   F#                            G#m
Go on, give us a hand, give us a hand


Outro:
G#m       B       F#       G#m
