πΈ Verse 1:
C G
I know I'm probably better off on my own
F
Than lovin' a man who didn't know
F
What he had when he had it
C G
And I see the permanent damage you did to me
F
Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic
C
I wish it wasn't four am, standing in the mirror
G
Saying to myself, you know you had to do it I know
F G*
The bravest thing I ever did was run
πΈ Chorus:
C G
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
Am F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
C
And I know why we had to say goodbye
G
Like the back of my hand
Am F
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
F
A better man
C G F
F
Yeah, yeah
πΈ Chorus:

But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

Like the back of my hand
Am F
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
F
A better man

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