intro:

A   B  E   C#m  A

Verse 1:
E                  C#m                       A
When the dinner is cold and the chatter gets old
                 B
You ask for the tab
E               C#m                          A
Or that moment again, he's insisting that friends
                         E
Look at each other like that
                     C#m                   A
When the words of a whisper come back in whispers
                   B
That prove she was not
E                C#m                           A
In fact what she seemed, not a twin from your dreams
                      E
She's a crook who was caught

Chorus:
B    C#m           E
That old familiar body ache
     A                           Am           E
The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
C#m   A    B               E
You know when it's time to go

C#m   A     E   C#m    A

Verse 2:
E                                 B
I know I'm probably better off on my own
                       A
Than lovin' a man who didn't know what he had when he had it
E                                   B
And I see the permanent damage you did to me
                     A                                D
Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic

Pre-Chorus:
A                  E
I wish it wasn't 4AM, standin' in the mirror
       B                                         A
Saying to myself, "You know you had to do it" I know the bravest thing I ever did was run

Chorus:
E                                             B
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
                C#m             B               E
But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man
       E                                       B
But I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand
            C#m                 B                A
But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man
          E        C#m        A
A better man

Bridge:
B   A                                 B                E
I hold onto this pride because, these days, it's all I have
       A
And I gave to you my best
             C#m                 B
And we both know you can't say that
               A
You can't say that

Verse 3:
E        C#m                    A
Fifteen years, fifteen million tears
                      B
Begging 'til my knees bled
E                 C#m                   A
I gave it my all, he gave me nothin' at all
                     B
Then wondered why I left
E                   A                       B
Now he sits on his throne in his palace of bones
                E
Praying to his greed
             C#m                A
He's got my past frozen behind glass
             B
But I've got me

Breakdown:
B                 E
I wish you were a better man
         B                                     A
I wonder what we would've become if you were a better man
   C#m                   B              E
We might still be in love if you were a better man
B                                       A
You would've been the one if you were a better man

Chorus:
E                                            B
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
           C#m                 B               E
But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man
                                                         B
But I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand
            C#m                B                A
But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man
          E        C#m        A
A better man

Chorus:
B    C#m           E
That old familiar body ache
     A                           Am           E
The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
C#m   A
You know
B    C#m           E
That old familiar body ache
     A                           Am           E
The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
C#m   A          B       E
I know when it's time to go

Outro:
E                    B                  E
We might still be in love if you were a better man
A                      B                E
You would've been the one if you were a better man
                          B                  A
Wonder what we would've become if you were a better man
       C#m           B       E
But I know when it's time to go
