Intro:
E MajorE
Verse 1:
E MajorE 
BB
I know I’m probably better off on my own
A augmentedA
Than lovin' a man who didn’t know
A augmentedA
What he had when he had it
E MajorE BB
And I see the permanent damage you did to me
A augmentedA
Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic
E MajorE
I wish it wasn’t 4am, standing in the mirror
BB
Saying to myself, you know you had to do it
A augmentedA BB
I know the bravest thing I ever did was run
Chorus:
E MajorE BB
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
E MajorE
And I know why we had to say goodbye
BB
Like the back of my hand
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
A augmentedA
A augmentedA better man
Verse 2:
E MajorE BB
I know I’m probably better off all alone
A augmentedA
Than needing a man who could change his mind
A augmentedA
At any given minute
E MajorE
And it’s always on your terms
BB
I’m hanging on every careless word
A augmentedA
Hoping it might turn sweet again
A augmentedA
Like it was in the beginning
E MajorE
But your jealousy, I can hear it now
BB
You’re talking down to me like I’ll always be around
A augmentedA
You push my love away like it’s some kind of loaded gun
BB
Boy, you never thought I’d run
Chorus:
E MajorE BB
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
E MajorE
And I know why we had to say goodbye
BB
Like the back of my hand
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
A augmentedA E MajorE BB
A augmentedA better man
E MajorE BB A augmentedA
Bridge:
A augmentedA BB
I hold onto this pride because these days it’s all I have
C# minorC#m BB C# minorC#m
And I gave you my best and we both know you can’t say that
C# minorC#m
You can’t say that
A augmentedA
No, you can’t say that
E MajorE
I wish you were a better man
BB
I wonder what we would’ve become
C# minorC#m
If you were a better man
A augmentedA
We might still be in love
E MajorE
If you were a better man
BB
You would’ve been the one
C# minorC#m
If you were a better man
A augmentedA
Yeah, yeah
Chorus:
E MajorE BB
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again

BB
Like the back of my hand
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
