Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

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 majorA 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
      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

Outro:
       E MajorE
If you were a better man
  BB
We might still be in love
       C# minorC#m
If you were a better man
  A augmentedA         BB
You would’ve been the one
       E MajorE
If you were a better man
