Chords with lyrics (Ver. 4)

• Capo on 4th

Key: 'C'


Intro: C majorC G4G4 F2

C majorC               G4G4
I know I'm probably better off on my own
           F2
Than lovin' a man who didn't know

What he had when he had it
  C majorC                G4G4
And I see the permanent damage you did to me

          F2
Never again
I just wish

I could forget when it was magic
F2
I wish it wasn't 4am, standing in the mirror
    G4G4
Saying to myself, you know you had to do it
  F2
I know the bravest thing I ever did was run

C majorC
Sometimes, in the middle of the night
G4G4
I can feel you again
      A minorAm
But I just miss you, and
    G4G4       F2
I just wish you were a better man
    C majorC
And I know why we had to say goodbye
     G4G4
Like the back of my hand
      A minorAm
And I just miss you, and
    G4G4       F2
I just wish you were a better man
      C majorC
A augmentedA better man

(C majorC)

C majorC                G4G4
I know I'm probably better off all alone

Than needing a man who could
F2
change his mind at any given minute
          C majorC
And it's always on your terms
           G4G4
I'm hanging on every careless word
          F2
Hoping it might turn sweet again

Like it was in the beginning
     F2
But your jealousy
I can hear it now
        G4G4
You're talking down to me like I'll always be around
      F2
You push my love away like it's some kind of loaded gun
     G4G4
Boy, you never thought I'd run

C majorC
Sometimes, in the middle of the night
G+G
I can feel you again
      A minorAm
But I just miss you, and
    G4G4        F2
I just wish you were a better man
    C majorC
And I know why we had to say goodbye
     G4G4
Like the back of my hand
      A minorAm
And I just miss you, and
    G4G4        F2
I just wish you were a better man
     C majorC G4G4   A minorAm G4G4  F2
A augmentedA better man

  F2                 G4G4
I hold onto this pride because these days it's all I have
    F2               A minorAm    G+G     F2
And I gave to you my best and we both know you can't say that

          C majorC
I wish you were a better man
     G4G4
I wonder what we would've become
        F2
If you were a better man
  G4G4
We might still be in love
        C majorC
If you were a better man
   G4G4
You would've been the one
        F2
If you were a better man
F2
Yeah, yeah

C majorC
Sometimes, in the middle of the night
G4G4
I can feel you again
      A minorAm
But I just miss you, and
    G4G4       F2
I just wish you were a better man
    C majorC
And I know why we had to say goodbye
     G4G4
Like the back of my hand
      A minorAm
And I just miss you, and
    G4G4       F2
I just wish you were a better man
      C majorC
A augmentedA better man

   G4G4                 A minorAm   G4G4
We might still be in love, if you were a better man

F2
Yeah, yeah

  C majorC
I know why we had to say goodbye
     G4G4
Like the back of my hand
      A minorAm
And I just miss you, and
    G4G4       F2
I just wish you were a better man
     C majorC
A augmentedA better man

  G4G4                  A minorAm   G+G
We might still be in love, if you were a better man
   G4G4
You would've been the one
        F2
If you were a better man
