Verse 1:
           Am
It's gone, 3AM

I'm still out with my friends
  F
I know it's not right

Yeah, I know I'm a mess
         C
When you call me
            G
And I don't answer
    Am
You wake up alone

And I'm not in the bed
       F
And you can't believe

That I've done this again
       C
When I promised
                  G
Last time was the last time
        Am
So we keep going around

In the same argument
        F
You say I'm not the man

That you feel if love with
         C
And I know that
                    G
Yeah, I'm trying to go back
      Am
And I promise you

We'll be alright in the end
  F
I'm going to change

I can't lose you again
           C
And you know that
                 G
I'm not going to let this go I swear


Chorus:
Am
  I'm trying to be a better man
F
  Hoping that you understand
C
  I'm going to get my shit together

  You deserve the world, you do
F
  And I would move the earth for you
C
  You're as close as I can get to heaven
G
  And baby we belong together
   Am   G  F   C Dm G
So I'll do all I can
                  Am   F
To be a better man (oh oh)

Verse 2:
           Am
Now you stood in the dark

With the keys to your car
        F
And you say that it's over

And I broke your heart
          C
For the last time
           G
For the last time
         Am
But just give me a moment

It might be my last
F
Chance to remind you

Of all that we had
          C
All the good times
                      G
'Cause we had some good times
            Am
You were my first love

You're still my best friend
          F
Know I made some mistakes

I won't make them again
         C
That's a promise
                 G
I'm not going to let this go I swear
